1770 hogs!!

We headed north the next day sharing a lift again with Liam and Tom. We were gunning for a little place called 1770. The place where Captain cook first landed.

We had taken it under good advice from Kelly and others that we could do a cool motorbike tour. We booke into the hostel and booked straight on the tour the next day.

We spent the rest of the day looking around 1770, its a very peaceful place. The beach was a little rough but we had been spoilt for very good beaches lately!!

The next day we did the scooterootour.com tour. We joined a convoy of 40 odd others doing the same and rode mini chopper like bikes around the island to the sea to watch sunset over the water. It was a cool experience. A bit start stoppy and our lights didnt work which made the drive back a bit of aggravation having to argue a little to get Laura and I on bikes with lights but all in a good time hairing around up to 50mph on the little choppers. I can't imagine ever having that many people in a bike convoy again in my life time especially not on english roads!!

We returned to the hostel around half seven pm and got ready for the greyhound overnight night bus picking us up at 9pm taking us to our next adventure, Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays!!
