Caloundra – 2

I slept in today – well, if you can call 7 a.m. sleeping in *lol* After that, we had breakfast (with me sitting on the balcony in the sunshine) and then made a picnic and started to Noosa Heads. We timed the trip – and found that it takes 55 minutes to get there from the condo. So now we know we need to leave between 7 and 7:30 to be sure to be at the pickup location at 9. There is a parking lot right near where we’re being picked up so we’re leaving the car there (and keeping our fingers crossed that it will still be there when we get back on Wednesday.)

We walked around Noosa for a bit – and found that it’s a really busy town. This weekend they are having their Mayfiesta – a food and wine festival, a boat race and a marathon swim challenge. Sounds like a good place to avoid – considering it was hard enough to find a parking spot today. Actually we just got an email today from the Blue Tongues Booster Club and there is an intersquad hockey game on Sunday, May 18 – and the rink is on the way to our next condo. So guess where we’re going to be on Sunday..

We drove back along the coast – and were a little disappointed that for most of it you can’t really see the beaches. But it was still a pretty drive and there

were some scenic views.

Once back at the condo, we packed our bags for our Fraser Island camping trip and made sure there’s no food left lying around the apartment. I’ve already killed a bunch of tiny ants and would rather not leave them a feast while we’re gone.

Next post will be after we get back from Fraser Island

Temperature: 24 C – sunny
