End of holiday a bit of crochet and now back home ☺

Gosh 10 days since I last posted.....but lack of Internet and time of course.

Left the Gold Coast to start our trek home wards with a drop by to see one of my boys along the way.

First stop was here where the weather was pretty nice and not a beach you would be swimming in with all these warnings lol.

Pretty though and nice to have a walk along the beach, although the tide was coming in rapidly with a high tide expected.

Plenty of erosion here just like the Gold Coast.

Almost got my feet wet lol

Another spot not for swimming, certainly not with sharks and stinging marine creatures lol.

Beautiful full moon over the sea.

A bit of healthy salad and a glass of red in the van.

The next day we drove to Tuncurry for a night, no pictures taken as the weather had changed and was very wet. Stopped here as had heard Sydney (near where my boy lives) was expecting horrendous storms that night. Got to walk to the local services club with our umbrella for a good meal though.

Next day here he is, my oldest boy and spent the day just around the shopping centre and pubs while we chatted and chatted lol  The man did a lot of listening ☺

There is that rain again. Seems when we visit anyone we bring the rain lol.

A nice lunch of salt and pepper calamari whick I could not finish lol

The water was really flowing down in the Parramatta river. Rex said he had not seen it like this in all the years he has lived here. We had a wonderful day and is always sad to say goodbye, but at least we can visit and he does fly down when he can too.

On the road and oh my was the rain pelting down for most of our 6hr drive that day.....

Wild seas were happening out there.

We arrived in Tathra where the sun was shining and a very quiet van site right near the amenities. 

 

Highly recommend staying here as was close to small shops, bowls club (which I had the best surf and turf I have ever had) and the beach also across the road. 

 

Following morning wanted to stay another night but we needed to get home so will have to come back and do a little stay and investigate this area. Had ourselves a bit of a final walk on sand.

It really is a great spot and love as you know taking pictures of the sea.

Had to jump across this little stream for part of our walk, bigger than it looks in the photo.

A cute sea serpent at the kiddies playground, I know my grand kids would like this ☺

We are now back at home and have unpacked van and car. Four loads of washing later most still out on the line as it is quite cold today. Oh well, had a wonderful time and amazingly enough I did a lot of crochet......

Obviously I am quite productive while in the car. Lots of washers/dishcloths made and also a hat and mittens for little Misty.

Thank you again for dropping in and glad you like the visit here.

take care xoxo ♥

 

More fun at theme parks, Great weather and now wonderful views from Skypoint

Hello there again, still away and having a wonderful time. The weather has been a lot better with lots of sun. We took to the road to check out the fifth wheeler we were interested in, this one at Towoomba for info on the town. This is some of the road works happening now they are widening the road which is quite steep and has had a lot of flood/rain damage too.

Wonderful views though.

On the road back and the day could not have been better and we were very happy after seeing the fifth wheeler.

Headed over to Southport near seaworld for a bit of a bbq lunch. The cup/stubby holder was made by another blogger who lives in usa and she sent me this one and some lovely tea. See Gracie I use it and love it ☺ Some good old pickled onions and bread with a nice apple cider.

The man also likes using the one sent for him too. 

A Pied butcher bird dropped in to get a bit of a snag (sausage) 

2 of them so had to share a bit around, cute birds but can be quite aggressive swooping and can steal other birds babies......

Here is the beach just near where we BBQ, where the sand is dropping away and of course so are the trees. Many of the beaches on the Gold coast are having more sand brought to try to stop/help the erosion.

Beautiful day, beautiful sea 

 

Had a walk along the Spit

View of Surfers Paradise from the Spit.

Love the sea, never get tired of just looking at waves and rocks ☺

Following morning headed to Seaworld again and they have added a little more to the new ride that is coming in September storm coaster and also any other rides you want to check out.

I rode this ride 12 times just to wake up lol. Viper at seaworld.

The man also rode Viper with me and also this Jet Rescue, he is in the front crazy guy lol

Off to have a bit of lunch and thought why not go back to Sky point and get a better view than the other day when it was pouring with rain ☺

Even a couple of whales turned up, so was great to see. 

Much better view than my last post lol.

Up those stairs for those keen enough to do a walk around up to the top, no thanks lol.

Plenty of surfers out there too. We sure are loving getting around and dropping into the theme parks, visiting friends and well, just having a good time together.

Today I think sanity left us as we rode this!!!! BUZZ SAW if interested in details of ride and I doubt I will ever ever again lol.   

Quite a tense ride lol and believe me I SCREAMED lol.

Then we rode Tower of Terror 2 where you go up backwards and come down forwards, much nicer ride than that buzz saw lol

See we are very happy in the front, the man even holds his arms up lol.

A nice kiddy rollercoaster here and very relaxing.

Road that Pandamonium again and really love it look here for details

One of the staff took a pic of us together with the Madagascar crew lol

Well hope you have again reading the fun we are having and love to you all out there.

A bit more fun to be had, lunch with a very long time friend, catch up with my oldest sister again and then head on back going via where my oldest boy lives for a bit of a mumma/son catchup.

take care out there and back again soon xoxo
