Our Trip to Hervey Bay....simply awesome

Well here I am to report that Hervey Bay was just the thing for a worn out person in October (me) and my gorgeous husband!! That man honestly has the patience of a saint to live with me and I am sooooo very grateful. We are so yinyang.... I am the mover and shaker and he is the stabiliser, I hurry everything, he sits and waits, I feel guilty if I am not up by 8.ooam on holiday he will happily snore until 9.30am ...... and it just keeps going like that!! We are opposites but great with it.... and we have fun!!

So back to Hervey Bay......

We stayed in the most awesome apartment which had a bedroom overlooking the bay - dolphins came into the bay to play and we watched the parade everyday for a week - runners, mums and prams, oldies and their scooters and dogs (often in the baskets of their owners scooters)

View over the kitchen from balcony
View from the bedroom - how gorgeous is this??

We had a spa, chocolate, dishwasher, laundry, pool (nope didn't swim) and everything at our fingertips - not too far to the grog shop (mmmmmmmm I was on holiday after all). Even a cafe at eh front door for breaky and a great lots of cafes up the road too!

We went whale watching on 'Its Awesome" and saw wonderful sights - mothers and their babies frolicking in the sea..... tails, flukes, slapping and breaching - they put ion such a show for us - it was wonderful.

Isn't this fabulous!!!

We also did lots and lots of walking (to offset those bottles of Sav Blanc) ..... everyday long walks and then relaxing reading, sleeping, spa, showers and nurturing...... just what I needed.

Then we stayed at the gorgeous Kingfisher Resort at Fraser Island and loved it too. Lots of walks - I did a spa treatment and we went on a tour of the island..... superb!!!! It is such a lovely place! And very vego friendly important in this family...... keep the man fed and he is happy - and they really did have great options to eat.

On a little walk - you find lovely views sometimes

Once we finished there it was off to the Gold Coast to see Ineke and Chris finally marry!!!! Yep they did it at last - the bride in purple and she looked so stunning. I wore a hat for the occasion .... what a fun night.

Chris and INeke
Gorgeous couple and they waited til it was perfect
All their kids were there too
We looked pretty good too
Jessica gave me this hat for my birthday

On the last day we spent the whole day at Mt Tamborine (I didn't sprain my ankle like I did last time I was there thankfully) and it was lovely - awesome shopping, lovely food and perfect day......
