From Toowoomba we went back into Brisbane unexpectedly. The storms had delayed our journey so we were now able to see my friends Katie and Michael who were holidaying in Australia from Bali. I use to work with them both in Brisbane about 10 years ago but have remained good friends and was happily a part of their amazing wedding . We rode the two hours back to Brisy for a catch up. It was good to see them, it had been years since i had seen the kids. How time flys.
From there we head back up to the sunshine coast to stay with Kate again, what a legend for putting us up. Had a look at some local organic shops that i hadnt seen before, they housed all of my favourite things.
From there we rode to gorgeous Noosa to meet another one of Robs close friends Jonesy.
Unfortunatly it rained majority of the time we were there and Jonesy had only flown up from Melbourne for a few days to meet us. Good on ya Jonesy!!
Jonesy had to hire a car to drive up from Brisbane to Noosa so Rob suggested he get one big enough to sleep in instead of bringing a tent. He did and we set up in a caravan park for the night with Jonesy’s car parked near our tent. On the second night Jonesy went to the toilet in the middle of the night. Forgetting he had locked the car, he opened the door, the car alarm went off and it was incredibly loud. As Jonesy fumbeled around looking for the key in his half asleep state it went off for about a minute until he found it. The park manager was quick to arrive at the scene and asked if it was his car as he returned from the toilet. He assured her he had just forgotten where he placed the key and waited for her to walk off so he could sneak back into the car to sleep. Not a practice allowed in the park.
I woke up when it went off not knowing what was happening. The last time i had been woken by an alarm was in a Manchester hotel to a fire alarm. I quickly woke Rob as an instant reaction in panic. As he sleeps with earplugs he just pulled one out, said calmly ” its a car alarm, probably Jonesy” he smiled, and went back to sleep.
Whilst in Noosa we went to the main beach which was hiding just behind the main street in front of some restaurants. I like the feel of the main street being so natural with all the plants and trees everywhere. We also head over to the Noosa National Park where we did the beautiful coastal walk. Highly recommended. Popped into the beach for a quick swim in the momentary hour break from the rain. After that we popped up to Laguna Lookout which was very tranquil as the rain drops were lightly falling onto us.
One day we head to the surf club for some dinner and drinks taking the night further at a quirky little bar called Valley Bicycle.
On another rainey day we went bowling and got flogged by Jonesy. If that wasnt bad enough Rob challenged him in the games room to a round of basketball shots. He killed us at that game too. Overall we had a great time in beautiful Noosa with Jonesy.
