While the ladies ventured to Montville on Friday, Barry and I took in some of the local beach side spots. Montville is a hinterland town and a very popular spot for tourists. It is a 1 kilometre strip of shops selling everything possibly of any interest to tourists. There are chocolate shops, a Christmas Shop, Puzzle Shop, Lolly shops, clothes, tourist items and just about everything else you can think of for sale to the tourist. It is not a spot I really enjoy going to any more. As you can imagine, the ladies enjoyed it very much.They even have 'Husband Chairs" outside many shops so bored husbands can sit and rest as their shopping crazed wives can peruse all the items for sale at their leisure!
Barry and I visited a couple of the beaches for a quick look before arriving at the Dicky Beach Surf Club for a refreshing ale and a quick meal for our lunch. One quiet ale developed into four 'schooners' and as I was driving, this meant it was time to head home. Strict alcohol related driving offences here in Australia meant I needed to take the back way home ASAP.
Despite being full of food and alcohol from the week's visit, we headed out to a Thai Restaurant for dinner. It was then home to watch the footy live on TV.
We then drove them to the Maroochydore Airport before lunchtime yesterday (Saturday) for them to catch their flight home.
Today Sunday will be another R & R day to catch up with rest from a wonderful but hectic week!
