Wining and dining: beautiful Noosa

Friday morning Mike and I took a walk around our Brisbane hotel.

In front of the hotel where he worked as a porter at age 18

He probably used that very luggage cart!!

Memorial to a little boy killed on the bridge during World War I, a sad story!

Our nephew Alex and sister-in-law Shemara arrived on Friday morning to whisk us off to beautiful Noosa. Noosa is a popular resort area on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. It’s surrounded by stunning beaches, lakes, and the amazingly gorgeous Noosa National Park. It’s also home to one of only two everglades systems in the world.

And it’s full of fancy restaurants with outstanding seafood!

Ice cream on every block!! Seriously! The Aussies (and our sister-in-law) love their ice cream!!

Mike’s and Ed’s old friend Carolyn and her oldest son Ben joined us for lunch on Saturday. We were all fascinated to hear about his 18-month journey by motorbike up through Australia and into Asia and the Middle East.
