Sunshine Coast, Australia_2

We are confined to the Apartment due to the  virus we have.  Friends up here have it too and their Dr. told them to stay away from anyone till Monday, as the virus is very contagious. We are slowly on the mend but feel rather weak due to the fever, coughing and cold.  So it's been starve a fever, feed a cold. We haven't been to the Dr. because virus's take their natural course and you treat the symptoms as they come.  I remember being taught this in my early days of training.

So fortunate we were to visit some of the lovely areas around the Sunshine Coast when not with family.


The glass house mountains are several this is just one of them.  Near this area the Authorities are searching for a boys remains, he has been missing since 2003 when he was aged 13.  He went to the bus stop to catch a bus to go Christmas shopping and was never seen getting on the bus and hasn't been seen since.  The alleged offender has only been discovered this past week.  What a nightmare for the boys parents.

This is our view across the road. Most of which can be seen from the apartment.

Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Australia



Our two grandchildren, aged 5 & 3 using my iPad.


The 3 year old wanted me to take her helmut off, so hence the look on her face.


Things often can go wrong when you are on holidays. My hair dryer died, the GPS died then half came back to life. Now we each have the same virus, so we are keeing to ourselves for a few days. They say things come in threes!
