Byron Bay

Wednesday 6 August

 

Day 6 of our holidays

 

We arrived in Byron Bay, walk around a bit

and chose a place to stay.

We are staying at the Waves Resort.

 

 

the bathroom was bigger than my kitchen

at home and all in black marble.

 

shame i don't like taking bath in strange bathroom,

shower for me.

 

Claude did not know how to make the air con

work and I got cold during the night, I put

my coat on top of the bed.

 

 

after settling in we went for exploring

 

nice chairs.....

saw this photo and thought of Topher and his convi

 



 

waiting for the sunset

 

 

 

I tried to upload some video but it is taking too long....



Eumundi Markets

Wednesday 6 August

 

Depart from Noosa.

our last sunrise

 

We went to visit the huge Eumundi markets.

I bought a love voile top for my cruise next month.

this is the place, long time ago, Claude bought

a  bird house. We were with our friends Daniel and

Margaret. We left him to make the decision and when

we came back he still had not decided.

I don't know what the fuss was about as NO BIRD

ever made a house in it, but a possum did.

 



 

saw some nice glassware.

Tina is planning on making some too.

 

Then we were on our way to Byron Bay

 

 

We stopped for lunch at Burleigh head.

It was sunny but very windy.

 



Noosa wilderness cruise

Tuesday 5 August

 

After lunch we made our way to the cruise departure point.

We have a nice sunny day.

The cruise is full.

 

 

Making our way to the Everglades we

passed some houseboats

 

and a house which has 2 huge mangoes trees

growing through it.

 

Nearing the Everglades the water was

chocolate brown.

 

 

very calm and serene

 

We passed by pelicans and a jabiru with

its long red legs

the reflexions in the water was excellent

 



 

We land at the pic nic spot for afternoon tea

and were greeted with big goannas.

We went to look at Harry's hut, an historical site

 



afternoon tea being prepared.

But nobody had tea or coffee, we all opted for

champagne.

The scones, friands, muffins were delicious too.

 



 

Claude soaking up the sun.

 

end of Noosa stay, the holidays continued

on our way back to Sydney.
