Sunday in Noosa

This was again fine, clear and cold first up. It felt colder than yesterday so I decided to not ride early.

We eventually had ourselves organised by about 0900 and set off for a short drive into town. It was already quite busy with parking spots at a premium. I was fortunate to find an empty on in Hastings Street in Noosa. We parked and had a wander along the street.

The shops are quite upmarket and the whole place has a totally different atmosphere to Byron Bay. It is clean and tidy and the people wandering the streets are obviously not backpackers like in Byron. Most of the shops cater for the more affluent people. Our only purchase was the Sunday paper.

We next drove to the main Noosa markets that were held on the AFL ground. It is a more traditional farmers market although there were many food stalls, too. The junk type stalls were almost nonexistent. Our time there was quite short and I had been very lucky to score a park almost outside the entrance.

Our next stop was to Aldi for a few items. Then we went to Noosaville where we stopped for our first cappuccino. We had muffins and raison toast. The coffee was excellent. It was a much better atmosphere than in Hastings Street and was very busy too.

Then we returned to the Karavan and had an easy lunch and did some reading in the glorious sunshine. During the afternoon, I did some little maintenance jobs in the Karavan. Our current neighbours are from Melbourne and are nice friendly people. Mike and I chatted about things mechanical especially items pertaining to our respective vehicles.

A quiet evening in the Karavan before we move on to another destination tomorrow.
