North to...... the Sunny Coast beaches!

Another travel day, but not too far, and now it’s time for a bit of R & R for our last 5 days in Australia. We flew out of Sydney and arrived at the Sunshine Coast airport around 12:30pm, picked up our rental car, and made our way to Alexandra Headlands, a beautiful beach town on the coast. Had a little problem with the GPS, which didn’t recognize the name of the town, so had to rely on a map 😳😳😳! After a few wrong turns, u-turns and a bit of stress, we made it to our condo, which is right across the road from the beach in this lovely place! Dropped off our luggage and walked over to have a look at the gorgeous beach, grabbed some lunch, then went to pick up wine and groceries. Went to the amazing pool at our complex and grabbed a few rays, then the clouds came in and it rained a little, but we were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow! We went across the road and sat on the beach for sunset, which was actually behind us, since we’re on the east coast of Australia, but the sun and cloud formation was stunning. I dipped my toes in the ocean and was pleasantly surprised at how warm the water is here! There are lots of funky restaurants along the main street, so we walked a couple of blocks to a little Mexican place and I had the best coconut prawn tacos, and Dave had the beef - delicious! Back to our condo to settle in for the night and make plans for tomorrow!Read more
