So despite the stuffy room and thick pillows we actually slept relatively well. Maybe the king bed helped :)
I woke up at normal time. The sky was grey, so had there been any sunrise I wouldn't have missed it anyway. Took our time getting ready and cleaning up the place, and left right on 10am.

Then it was just a slow meander up the coast, stopping at lots of places I had or hadn't stopped at before.

And finished up the day in Torquay. Got to the motel relatively early (I think around 4pm), then the car park quickly filled up with tradies. The motel has a washing machine, so we put on a load of washing and hung it out. But even though it's warm and windy it's not drying super quickly on the line out the back. Probably humid sea air doesn't help. We debated going to the 4 Pines brewery for dinner but in the end just had instant noodles we picked up back in Port Campbell.
