If
you have been following this blog at all, you will know that Lyle and I
both like to travel. We enjoy seeing new places, doing new things and
meeting new people. Of course, we also realize that it would be a very
different travel experience if we weren’t able to do this together.
Our
latest trans Pacific cruise was a new experience for us. If we ever
had the time, money and opportunity, it is something we would enjoy
doing again. When our ship docked in Sydney we spent some time visiting
family (always a priority) and a couple of days in Terrigal, our
favourite beach town. Then it was off to Queensland. We flew into
Coolangatta, located on Australia’s famous Gold Coast just south of
Surfers Paradise.
This was a trip into the
past for us. We had been here thirty plus years ago. We were now
amazed at the development in the area - new condo buildings, traffic,
and lots of people. We spent some time trying to find familiar places
from the past. We also visited an old school friend of mine, and then
we just veged out on the beach. We stayed at Tugun, which has a long,
long beach, great for walking.
All told it was a
great holiday, but we came to the conclusion that we liked Terrigal
better. There is a picture with this post. I am sitting by the beach
promenade, drinking take away coffee from my favourite Terrigal coffee
shop - Free State Cafe. The sun was shining that day and the sea gulls
were swooping. It felt a long way from the snow and cold back in
Alberta.
