Tamborine mountain

Quite a wet night the night before & a lot of thunder & lightning. Got up to bright sunshine & Robert kindly took us to the airport to collect our hire car, nice BMW. Drove down towards the Gold Coast then up in to mountains, few steep hair pin bends, but very tropical. The rain came in and the mist descended, we did see above the clouds at one point. It felt very different here, reminded me of Happy Valley in Kenya, with colonial style estate houses . Found our accommodation at the Veranda House Estate.. it is very beautiful but the mist hid our views. There were a couple of hot tubs, a magnesium pool, and sauna. In the hot tub you can sit and look ok out across the tree canopy & to the buildings on the Gold Coast. There’s a lovely barn with arm chairs & a fire .. would love to have a place like this to run. Met the owner who was chopping up a tree which had come down in the winds & cyclone the other week causing damage. We went for a drive to North Tamborine, and bougie shops before returning to the hot tubs .. the mist lifted for an hour and revealed the very impressive view. dinner out, Mexican, most other places were closed.. mediocre but at least no Parmie. It’s lovely & quiet here and raining again. Czytaj więcej
