Ann & Michel were such amazing hosts! They have a beautiful house up on the hill in Lennox Head and minutes from the beach. They had already prepared a list of activities for us and spoiled us with amazing meals. They even watched the kids for us one night so we could go on a date!
Our adventure started out with a hike along the coast from Lennox Head to Ballina. We got to watch the surfers catching some big waves.
The next day we drove 2 hours south to a small beach town called Digger's Camp. Ann arranged for us to stay in a great rustic cabin for 2 nights. They even lent us their 2nd car and a boogie board. The beaches were beautiful and rugged with great surf and endless tidal pools to explore. Usually there are kangaroos running all over the place, but unfortunately we did not see any wild ones. We did see the signs though!
Live snails that crawl on you.
The kids even entertained us with some choreographed dances! You'll have to ask for a personal performance when we get home.
Then it was back to Lennox Head for a few days. Ann & Michel took us to their friend's house for supper. Hans and Josiane are from Switzerland and now own a beautiful farm near Lennox Head. They have horses, chickens, a dog, pecan and multiple fruit trees. We picked pecans from the trees as well as all sorts of fruit. Our favorite was the 'lemonade' fruit which is a sweet lime. They were hilarious and gracious hosts and made us traditional wood fired pizza in their hand-made outdoor pizza oven. It was an evening we will not soon forget!
