After we had seen Sydney, we flew to Brisbane and drove over to the Sunshine Coast. We got into our hotel pretty late... and I was so sad I couldn't see the water! But, at 5:30 am the next day,
we rolled straight out of bed and out onto the beach!
There were huge shells everywhere (and jellyfish too!)


I almost touched this thing...
Jeff talked me out of it!
I loved watching the surf schools!

We walked for MILES and MILES!

After a while, we picked a spot to sit a while and relax.
The smells, the sights, the sand... it was wonderful.

We braved the cold water.
Body surfing.
Splashing.
Swimming.
Even though I was so afraid of the jellyfish!

And, before I knew it-- it was time to leave! On to the next destination.
I kissed our lovely view goodbye.
Goodbye pretty hotel by the ocean.

Adventure awaits!
