Bay of Fires and Lonnie

The Bay of Fires was magnificent, even though the weather was crap.  Its actually 5 bays that stretch for a good 30 miles up the coast, not one bay.  We just drove around for a few hours, getting out now and again to scramble out on the rocks and whatnot.  We also mistakenly took our poor car on what ended up being a pretty bad unsealed road for an hour before we realized that we were going to slow to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time.  If you wanted to do Tas right you would definitely need a four wheel- high off the ground - good suspension car, none of which we had.  

We had an awesome lunch at a restaurant jake had recommended to us ( he used to be the chef) and I can solidly say it was one of the best meals of my life.  This was the view from our table:

LONNIE:

Lonnie is just a cute little town, not really much going on; the town revolves around the Boags Brewery.. which is aaaa-mazing.  They have a house as part of the brewery that is called : "Boags Center For Beer Lovers" - basically the coolest name ever.   I did a tour of the brewery.. which was magnificent - you actually get to see the process in action unlike on tours for any of the big brewers such as Heineken.   It was probably the bet 40 minutes of my life - we got to wear yellow vests that said VIP Beer Lover on the back, I tried to by one but they wouldn't let me.
