We arrived home yesterday but I am a few days behind with posting as I missed some days when we were in the wilderness without coverage of any kind. I must thank all my blog buddies for continuing to come and visit my blog and comment while I was away on a mystery tour, especially as I didn't have enough time to visit or comment on your blogs. I have some serious catching up to do and discover what has been going on in your world while I was taken on an adventure in my world.
The surprises continued to come even in the last days of our tour. After having a surprise Birthday Morning Tea with dear friends we headed towards Brisbane but not home yet.........
George was driving and we started to see the familiar outskirts of Brisbane but then he turned off towards the Redcliffe Peninsular and then pulled in to Scarborough Beach Resort, where our friend and tour guide, Ann, had booked us into an apartment for five people. You can see George on our balcony.
Bear enjoyed the view from her new deck chair and was glad to put her sore leg up after getting it broken yesterday when she fell out of the car. (see yesterday's post)
Moreton Bay
Mary and I decided to take a closer look at the beach and put on our jumpers and went for a walk along the waterfront in the chilly evening.
This is the last night of our mystery tour and we were told we were going to a restaurant for dinner. It turned out to be the famous Morgan's Seafood Restaurant. It was a smorgasbord of prawns, oysters, Moreton Bay Bugs, lobsters, mussels and hot fish, calamari, chips, potatoes, vegetables and salads. It was a fabulous meal. (sorry Colin none for you).
In these last hours of our trip Ann had organised another surprise for us.
LtoR: Mary, me, Helen, Paul, Ann, George, Bill and an empty chair where Bear should be, but she stayed at home to recover from her accident.
Ann had arranged for Helen and Paul to come to the restaurant for dinner with us. Helen and Paul are members of our Birthday Bear Dinner group but they couldn't come on the mystery tour as they had intended to, because Paul was recently diagnosed with mesothelioma and had to have chemo therapy and recover from an operation. It was great to see they could manage the long drive to this side of the city and enjoy our last night of the tour, and my birthday. What a fantastic birthday I had.
Thank you Ann and others who were involved in making all this happen.
The next morning greeted us with a lovely sunrise before we headed towards home.
However, Ann had another attraction for us to see on the way home......I'll show you tomorrow.
