The market and the visit


Sunday, May 21

Pack up early from our apartment and headed for the Laurieton farm market.  On our way we stopped in a little town and found some disposable boogie boards that the boys were happy to have on their laps.  As we approach Laurieton, we notice the traffic volume increasing substantially, and then see parking backed up.  After finding a parking spot, we realize that this is not a small farmers market.  There are thousands of people here, and hundreds of stalls.  Buskers abound, live performances are setting up on the stage, and every item imaginable are being sold.  The boys purchase a fighting kangaroo flag for their man cave at home.  But soon the boys are eager to head back to the beach to try out their new boogie boards.  On the way back to Port Macquarie, we stop at one beach and watch a junior surf competition.  Back at our beach the boys have a great time on the boards. 

We then head into town to meet up with Trudy, our new found friend Cindy met yesterday.  We follow her for about 40 minutes into what appears to be nowhere.  There home in nestled just north west of Port Macquarie in a very scenic mountainous area.  We meet her husband Steve and have a great visit with them that evening.  They have travelled around Canada and SE Asia.  Very interesting couple and lots of fun talking with.
