Noosa - planning the week

So Dad's already trying to plan the day for next Saturday when we fly back. Indication they've done too much international travel of late: Dad assumed we had to be at the airport at least two hours before our flight (it's only half an hour for domestic). Seems he's an even bigger plan-and-schedule-everything type of person than I am (gosh, I wonder where I got that trait from). I pointed out that I would be prepared to discuss that by, say, Thursday, but was not going to just yet.

Forecast has weather of much the same (fine, sunny, max ~20deg) for the next few days with the clouds and possible showers starting Thursday.

Today is lots of pleasant sitting around.



Except if you're K & G who have gone for a walk/wander for a bit, taking Caitlin.

[Pic to come - they left before I snapped one]

Tomorrow might be a beach and explore the river via a river cruise/water taxi day. We'll get on at around the corner, go up to the Heads to play on the main beach in the morning, find some lunch, and then complete the rest of the round trip (about an hour). And then some more sitting around.

Tuesday could be trip up to Rainbow Beach. JD has fond memories of rolling down the sand dunes as a child. Biggest problem there is that all eight of us won't fit in the Prado at once, at least not with each person having their own seatbelt.

Wednesday may be Eumundi markets, a huge craft and food market held each Wednesday and Saturday. The folks went yesterday and came back with various bits and pieces including some curry pastes and some neem soap. Depends whether the kids are all that interested. Could be done by bus trip (~1/2 hour each way) if only a selection of us are interested.

Otherwise it could be some pleasant walks around Noosa Heads - there's some large swathes of green nearby, with walking tracks through them.

Thursday and Friday, eh, we'll sort that out in due course, and Saturday we fly back to reality. If there's anything you think we should consider doing while we're up here, let me know via the comments.
