last night we had the most incredible rain! (I know, there's a surprise, rain for us this holiday!) it was crazy how heavy it was, it woke both Brett and I from our sleep. Fortunately it did no train that much during the day.
We left before 8 having munched on out ham and cheese bread roll toasters., and continued on our journey south.
We arrived at Gympie before 10 at a great park to meet up with Brett's Uncle Warren and Marion. We hadn't seen them for ages so it was great to see them, catch up, have them meet the kids. We had a really nice time. The kids talked heaps to Warren and Marion too and also had a great time playing in the park.
When we finally left we had full bellies and settled into our trip to Surfers expecting to find some traffic delays around BrisVegas but we had a pretty good run.
We didn't really have a proper lunch stop but somewhere south of Brisbane Aimee needed a toilet so we improvised when we saw a Mitre 10 Super store, I figured they would have a toilet (which they did) and the kids shared a bacon roll from the BBQ out the front. As we sat in the car park btprett chuckled about it being one of the weirdest places he has stopped for a lunch/pit stop-a hardware store car park.
We made it to Surfers, never having been here before I knew there were lots of big buildings, we are on the 24 th floor! Pretty high but there are plenty of taller buildings. Our balcony looks straight onto the main beach at Surfers. The streets are busy even the Motel is busy, every time you go to get into one of the 5 lifts there are always other people in the lifts already. Surprisingly 24 storeys up you can still here plenty of street noise which I guess just echoes on all of the buildings. I imagine it is horrid here during schoolies.
We had a walk along th ebeach this afternoon, kids had a swim and we ate the seafood buffet dinner tonight..
Hopefully tonight I'll manage to upload some photos.
