A very pleasant Monday

Yesterday, another very nice day on the Coast, we went to Tedder Avenue, Main Beach, to meet up with Sue and John from Adelaide, a couple we met in 2000 on our cruise through the Kimberley, (Broome to Darwin). We have kept in contact and met up with them on a few other occasions. Anyway they were in Main Beach for the week so we joined them for a light lunch at one of the many cafes in Tedder Avenue - loads of catch up talk, then we decided to take on a walk. First stop was the Southport Yacht Club, very pleasant and casual. The Australian -American Club which we are members of, meet here once a month for drinks and a catch up.

Next was a stroll along to the MARINA MIRAGE - we had not been actually inside before, had no idea that there were such lovely fashion shops inside - kept wallets closed, but thoroughly enjoyed our very slow meander around. Next door to the Mirage is THE PALAZZO VERSACE - so whilst in the area we decided to go in and inspect at least the Foyer - pretty impressive! The pool area was stunning, but as we were not paying residents, entry was forbidden! We are looking forward to this weekend, Col and Den flew in from Auckland last Saturday, we picked them up at the Gold Coast Airport and took them to the apartment they had booked for this week, then on Saturday they join us for 3 days, will be celebrating their Anniversary on 25th, and ours on 24th. A couple of nice things planned.
