We started the morning at the Funky Monkey Cafe for breakfast, and went for a lovely walk in Lakes Entrance before heading to the Shell Museum in Lakes Entrance then on to Warragul. We arrived at our accommodation in Warragul to find they couldn't locate our booking. After a phone call to Booking.com they sorted things out, lucky the had a spare room for us. I was beginning to think I didn't like Warragul, the train station was across the road and every train blew it's whistle every time, however, the Bank Hotel for dinner was really nice, and Frankies for breakfast the next morning was amazing. So it was just the dodgy accommodation owners.
We had breakfast at the Funky Monkey.
Eggs Benedict - one of my favourites.
We went to Woolworths for a couple of things and this magnificent
