Saturday 25th July It was another wet morning. I ended up heading to the gym for a little while while Mark did some yoga and he also went down to at his favourite coffee spot, Noosa Social. Our plan for the day was to visit Eumundi markets, to pick up some coffee beans for our… More
Friday 24th July The morning was overcast but at least it wasn’t raining so we made the most of it and headed out for a walk along the beach front and coastal path. It wasn’t long until the rain started up again though and so we headed back to Mark’s favourite cafe: Noosa Social. We… More
Wednesday 22nd July This short trip was a long time in the planning. The all-in-one flight, transfers and accommodation package had been booked well before Covid-19 was part of the modern day vernacular but the pandemic meant our trip was delayed and, then, rushed in before August to enable redemption of the Virgin flight component.… More
