Braeside

Sun Had a delicious freshly cooked full english breakfast with fruit toast etc, set us up for day, had a nice chat with the owner sitting on their verandah overlooking all the mountains how lucky they are, lovely parrots, galahs and it made my day when a wallaby came onto the lawn to have a look at us eating our brekky. Janice went off to brisbane to a craft fair, Brisbane is 2 hours away but to them its like us popping into town. We went off to Bangalow Sunday market about 45 mins away, it was a huge market, crafts, produce, loads of different foods to try, we had an organic blackberry jam filled massive doughnut the best we have ever eaten. Spent the morning here no problem could have spent a fortune but unfortunately cant get the stuff home, there were buskers there and it was lovely but very very busy. We then took ourselves off to Tweed Heads, I drove, have done a lot of driving, Ken still gets tired so dont want him over doing things. Tweed Heads is absolutely stunning, two beaches, one in Queensland and the other in NSW. Great hot day again and the surfers are out in force have never seen so many in one place not even at Bondi Beach. Had freshly cooked Barrimundi and Snapper for lunch, found an internet cafe as Paula had sent message to Dawn to get us to check our e mails, Air Asia have changed our flight to Penang, thankfully it is half an hour earlier!! Got back to our cabin around tea time, showered etc and off to the pub for some food, certainly see life here, all hillbillys, hats and beards to boot, but friendly aliens. Monday 28-3-11 Delicious breakfast again this morning at 8am, sat on verandha talking to Keith and Janice until 9,30am then we had to say goodbye, to head off to Brisbane which thankfully is an hour behind here so it is really only 8.30am. Drove past brisbane to a place called Redcliffe, bit disappointing, many places still closed from the floods went to Tourist Info who were as much use as a chocolate tea pot so we headed back to the centre and booked into a motel just 25 mins from airport for our flight tomorrow to Melbourne, Dawn phoned she is so excited cooking us a meal tomorrow night which I am looking forward to and shes got the wine coooling!! Went out tonight and had chinese at a noodle bar lovely. Catch ya later xx
