Well, here we are, Adoring Husband and I, at Noosa, in a lovely self contained apartment, all ready for our week of golf which should commence tomorrow morning at 7.30am.
We spent the morning browsing through shops in Maleny, then visited Andrew at his Gallery in Montville, where we got to see some more of his work and spent an hour chatting with him and learning just a tiny bit more about photography.
After we left Andrew, we had a delicious lunch at a lovely restaurant with views that took in all of the rolling green hills, mountains and all the way to the ocean on the coastline. Just spectacular on a perfect sunshiny day.
The drive from there to Noosa was about an hour long and uneventful. We were pleasantly surprised when we stepped over the threshold of this lovely apartment and after we unpacked, we went for a walk along the Noosa River which was a hive of activity.
Kayaking, houseboats, jet skis, charter boats, ferries, private boats, surf skis, in fact the river was busier than the main road! We then walked back on the opposite side of the road where all the restaurants displayed their menus, and we chose a couple that we will return to later in the week.
It was still quite early, so we decided to go for a drive to the National Park, where they have bush walking trails that were recommended for good photo opportunities.
The first place that we stopped was just so busy, I couldn't imagine it being peaceful anywhere along the track, so we left there and drove in the opposite direction and came upon about 20 kite surfers all in the water having a marvellous time weaving in and out and between each other.
It was a spectacle, so Adoring Husband and I made ourselves comfortable on a bench seat and sat observing them for about an hour. We both took lots of photos, some of which I will add here after we get home next week.
We could see lots of big black clouds building up in the West and expected to witness a spectacular sunset, but it kind of fizzled out to nothing. By now, it was getting late, so on the drive home, we decided to order Thai takeaway from a menu in our information booklet.
It was delivered to our room less than an hour later, and we both agreed that it was the BEST Thai that we had ever eaten. Absolutely delicious!! A perfect way to end a most enjoyable day...
... until the rain came! It has been pouring rain for over an hour now and doesn't look like letting up! Will it stop before morning? Will it be dry enough to play golf? I love the sound of rain at night and I think that we will both fall asleep happily listening to it ... but we will be ecstatic if the rain would just go away before morning!!
