      Caloundra

      October 17, 2016 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Nach Surfers Paradise ging es für uns in das überschaubare Caloundra. Im einzigen Hostel der Stadt angekommen bezogen wir unser Zimmer und trafen unseren Mitbewohner Matt, ca. 45 Jahre alt und arbeitssuchend. Wie wir schnell feststellten, bestand der Großteil der Gäste des Hostels aus Australiern, was für uns mal eine willkommende Abwechslung war. Wie auch Matt waren alle sehr freundlich und so begaben wir uns nach einem kleinen Spaziergang zum Strand zum kostenlosen Barbecue des Hostels. Dabei lernten wir noch weitere Australier kennen, die meisten im ähnlichen Alter wie Matt oder zumindest deutlich älter als wir und alle sehr witzig. Nach dem ausgiebigen Abendessen gingen wir noch eine Runde spazieren, was sich aber als keine gute Idee erwies, da es wirklich Arschkalt war .. also machten wir uns auf den Rückweg und fielen ins Bett. Am nächsten Morgen machten wir uns früh auf den Weg in den Zoo (siehe : Australia Zoo) und als wir wieder kamen ( ja er hat uns wieder abgeholt) machten wir uns etwas zu essen und verbrachten den Rest des Abends mit Skype Gesprächen nach Hause - Leo, du wirktest echt besoffen! Danach ließen wir uns noch ein Paar Biere spendieren und dann gingen wir ins Bett, leider ohne Matt der und erst am nächsten Morgen auf dem Weg zum Bus entgegenkam, keiner weiß was da los war.
      Wie auch in den anderwn Orten war damit unsere Zeit in Caloundra auch schon wieder sehr schnell vorbei und wir machten uns auf den Weg nach Noosa!

      Road trip to Brisbane

      January 2, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      We lazed back to Brisbane via Caloundra on the scenic route, we stopped at a couple of very scenic spots along the way and then rushed back to the comfort of the cars air con. The coast is filled with eager holiday makers... catching some serious rays, having 2 summers have its perks but honestly I felt like being in snow for a day.

      As we celebrated with friends on New Years eve, we didn't spend much quality time with each other. I suggested a "reflective" cider at one of the beautiful picnic spots. It was fun looking back on our highlights of 2016, it was quite an eventful year.

      Caloundra

      August 31, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Fresh air and vitamin D was the idea to help ease the aches, pains and everything. So, we headed down to Caloundra and a relaxing walk along the coastline and a coffee. Managed to get a warning from the lifeguard as we were walking 🐶🐶 along the beach - apparently a no no. 🙄

      The afternoon spent at Sunshine Plaza for a spot of retail therapy

      Dinner was pizza from the Maroochydore Surf Club. Very nice - both surf club and pizza

    • Brisbane reunions

      December 17, 2018 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

      I arrived Friday morning in Australia and have spent the weekend enjoying reunion with Jamie and all the family. The girls did not take long at all to forget their shyness. In fact Samantha was not at all shy at all, she is just a constant chatterbox! I went with Jamie and Renee to pick them up from their last day at school and it didn't take long for me to get some cuddles. We have had a fun weekend playing games, going swimming, making towel animals and doing crafts. I have been teaching Sophie how to do a headstand and she is teaching me how to do a handstand. It is none stop entertainment!
      Yesterday Renee's dad had a 60th birthday party so all his 6 granddaughters were there-it was a loud day and a lot of wine was consumed.
      Now for the first three days of school holiday I am looking after the girls whilst Jamie and Renee are at work. So far they have been very well behaved and we have had a fun packed day. Let's see how another couple of days treats us....and my sanity!
