Meals by Maurice

Who is Maurice, you might ask? I am not sure, but please play the video at the end of this post to lift your spirits!

I can tell you about Meals by Caroline at the Home Plate Restaurant and Bakery.

Caroline earns her rave reviews in Murray River. My favorite reviewer says “My mom hasn’t laughed that hard at a restaurant ever. So fun and great food!” I certainly laughed while trying to do justice to the huge pot of tea I was given, alongside the large plate of fish and chips. Ed enjoyed the maple bacon on his burger, despite the fact that Caroline herself does not enjoy the taste of maple.

We needed a walk after that lunch, so we headed to Poverty Beach. The beach was not the best for strolling-lots of rocks and seaweed. But, we put our feet in the salty sea and marveled at the rusty-colored stones and pebbles.

We spent two glorious “downtime” days to recover from our two travel days. We made plans for daytrips to further explore the island.

But, oh, what a blessing to simply take in the beauty of this place!

As promised, Meals by Maurice.
