The Saturday in Queensland

Hi,

Toby and I are being pampered in sunny Queensland.  We got up at 3am and got to the airport at 4am where we got on our Virgin Australia flight to Brisbane without any hassles.  Toby was bored the whole way because there were no tv screens.  How backwards.  Hahahah.

We got a rental car at the airport and then got hopelessly lost trying to find our way north to Peregian Springs.  When we finally got to Mum's house, we had taken 2.5 hours when Mum's estimate was about 1.5 hours.  But we did a tour into a Brisbane central city suburb of indeterminate name and location, then two tours back around the domestic airport before finally falling onto the M1 northbound.  Hooray.

Toby estimates we got lost nine times before we got to Mum and Dad's place.  That may be quite accurate.  His initial guess was twelve.  Hmmm.  Both guesses seem pretty close to reality.  I lost count after the third navigation error.

Anyhow, we got the Dunes Court at 11.30am.  We have a little red Holden Barina sedan and we have since had lunch at Sunshine Beach surf club and back home again.  The pool was a little too cold for me and Toby to swim in.  Toby went in to waist deep but that was way deeper than my ankles were willing to tolerate.  Mum says next weekend when it hits 26C will make the pool more inviting.

Dad will get home from work soon.  Tomorrow is Father's Day.  Mike will be making Scotty breakfast in bed!  Hahahah.

Okay.  Time to read.  Yay!

Love,
Angela
