It was time to say goodbye to Port Arthur and start our journey home. We had accommodation organised to stay in Swansea for one night before going home. The day we were meant to leave Swansea was the most terrible storm, and it was cold and windy with torrential rain, so we stayed put for another night. The next day was sunny and cold, but no wind or rain. Perfect to head home.
Sign post along the way.
We didn't stop at Eaglehawk Neck as the Tasman Arch,
Devil's Kitchen and Blowhole
are closed for renovations to the walking tracks.
We detoured to the Blue Lagoon to buy some oysters.
That's dinner all organised.
LOL. Women's apparel on the fence.

Marina at Triabunna.
Lovely little coffee shop at Triabunna.
We stopped at Spiky Bridge along the way.
Spiky Bridge is a unique, convict built bridge located about
7.5 kms south of Swansea. Constructed around 1843, it is
famous for its mortarless fieldstone design and jagged
vertical stones, offering a quirky historical stop.
Comfy bed in our cabin in Swansea.
Views from the beach at Swansea.
We went to Morris General Store (IGA) in Swansea for some supplies.
We had Oysters Kilpatrick for dinner.
We didn't do much the next day due to the weather.
I didn't take any photos.
We left Swansea on a nice sunny day and stopped at the Oyster Shack at Dolphin Sands.

It was a cold slow trip home due to the icy wet roads.

We had a lovely time away. If we go away in winter again
I think we might take the car instead. However,
travelling on the Spyder was a real adventure.
