Left depoe bay after another lovely breakfast. Went on the otter crest loop which is just outside of depoe bay. Went to cape foulweather where there was a gift shop with great views overlooking the sea. Saw more whales absolutely incredible. They were spouting and then we saw two side by sude very close to the shore. We could see their whole bodies.
Drove further along to yaguina lighthouse which is in a national park area. We used the park pass the kind couple we met at depoe bay gave us. The lighthouse was great but the views even better. On the rocks beliw saw turkey vultures flying close and sunning themseves spreading their wings out also lots of black cormorants.
Continued on our journey through small towns. Lots of fishing and hunting and loads of bridges to cross.
Stopped at newport which is quite large. Walked down to the old town which is the harbour area. A mix of industrial buildings and seaside gift shops including one with made in oregon stuff. Had good views of the bridg we would drive over. Very impressive. Walked around and found a cafe with seats overlooking the harbour. Lots if harbour seals on the pier and a lot in the water frolicking and leaping out. Had a peanut smoothie yum .
Back to car and continued the long journey passing sand dunesalong the highway like no sand dunes i have ever seen . Enormous. Stopped off at cape perputia where due to low tide could not see the spouting rock. Arrived at bandon and found wndermere just outside along the beach loop riad. Had a top storey small apartment with views over the sea and a veranda to sit at. The parh to the beach was immediately by us and twenty steos we were there. Miles of sand and a few rock formations close to shore. No sign of shops or humans great. Had a long walk to the nearest formation.
Watched the sunset which was truly magnificant. The sun setting over the sea. A few photographers there to record it. As good as it gets. Ladted ages. Time around 7.20.
Needed food so drove back to the harbour and found the fish and chip place. We both had cod and triple cooked chips. Stopped at a food place on the way back to get supplies like water, beer and oregon wine. Also nibbles and cereal for breakfast.
Got back and ate the food. Wine went down well. Another great day.
