Auf zur Sunshine ☀️ Coast!!
Michaela, Erika, Nikki ( die Tochter von Erikas Freundin aus Japan 🇯🇵 - welche gerade in Australien 🇦🇺Ihr schulisches Auslandsjahr macht ) und ich machten uns um 8 Uhr früh auf zur Sunshine Coast.
Auf dem Weg dorthin, stoppten wir nach am berühmten Australian Zoo von Steve Irwen ( auch bekannt als The Crocodile 🐊 Hunter - welcher September 2006 bedauerlicherweise ums Leben gekommen ist ). Wir schauten uns zwar nicht den Zoo an, aber machten ein paar Fotos und dann ging es auch direkt weiter.

Wir spazierten etwas am Strand 🏝, machten lustige Fotos 📸 und aßen Burger 🍔 .

Als wir abends wieder zu Hause waren, stand noch ein Skypedate mit meiner Family an. Glücklich und zufrieden ging es dann anschliessend ab ins Bett 🛏Read more

Day 19
Day off
March 12, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Today I was given the day off not that I actually needed it if I'm honest.
Me Bec and the boys took this horrible horse to his new owner. Then we went into a town can't remember the name and had a lovely lunch and the boys went into an arcade was quite funny they smashed me at bowling.
We also went on little speed boats on the river.Read more
Traveler A day off, you softie. Looks like your getting into the Aussie way if life really quickly. Don't know what Mark C would say. The family seem to be looking after you, like an adopted daughter. Really reassuring for mom and I. make the most of every moment xx

Day 4
Tome Cafe lives up to its cake rep.
March 4, 2021 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 23 °C
Weve had a complete change of our schedule for the rest of the Sunshine Coast part of our holiday due to weather. Our snorkelling trip to Mudjimba island was cancelled due to rough seas, so we've come up with a pretty good plan B that starts off a TOME coffee and cakes. We did our first GPS error of the trip (putting in drive instead of road) but it only put us out by 10mins or so and was a bit of a laugh.

I found this place on the urban list website and the cake reviews were amazing, so I knew we had to go out of our way to come here. Not disappointed, these cakes are divine. They look stunning and taste as good. We ended up getting the gluten free raspberry brownie cake, the biggest cinnamon scroll in existence, a hot chocolate, and a pot of minted licorice tea. Best gluten free cake and best cinnamon scroll I've ever eaten. 5 stars for sure.Read more

Day 3
Lilianas Italian 🇮🇹 Lunch
November 19, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
A very leisurely morning strolling around the local Montville shops and then dropped by the Big Pineapple 🍍 for the obligatory photo (…reminded me of day We stopped in Pisa, just to take a photo with the leaning tower… then continued on…) then we went into Maroochydore to Liliana’s Italian Trattoria 🍽️

We shared a delicious platter of fresh soft cheese 🧀 prosciutto which had been aged for 12 months, grilled tomatoes 🍅 bursting with flavour, herbed olives 🫒 Nonna’s delectable meatballs and zesty balsamic vinegar served on rocket salad with an Italian oil dressing. It was served with a warm home-made focaccia 🤤
We also had Sicilian cheesy arancini balls served with a rich meat Bolognese sauce. They were delicious 😋

Main course: Linguine with seafood 🦐 with a zingy lemon 🍋 flavour. This was washed down with a crisp Pinot Grigio with faint notes of citrus fruit, apples and a hint of spice.

After lunch, we dropped in on Robyn‘s Mum Dallas to say hello. We were all so full we just wanted to get back to the apartment and have a lie down… That satisfied feeling when you know you have had sufficient food for the rest of the day!

Mike has been really getting into The Crown 👑 and in down time I’m also enjoying becoming reacquainted with its’ brilliant acting 🎭 style & attention to detail…Read more
Traveler Sounds delicious!
