We stopped at our favorite fish & chip shop in Lennox Head, The Bream Hole, and ordered 3 John Dory filets (Crumbed), Chips, and Calamari Rings. The John Dory was much better than what we had in the two Ballina shops, but the chips were not as good. Good fish trumps potatoes.
We returned to our unit so we could eat the chips with ketchup. After the meal we both fell asleep and didn't wake up until 5:30 PM. This was our first jet lag crash since we arrived a week ago.
