Our Noosa Trip - Day 2

Beth slept through the night and we all got to sleep in until 7:30am! That is generally unheard of... so you can only imagine how happy and relaxed Phan and I were that we finally got to sleep in... and whilst we were on holidays too! The timing was perfect!

We gave Beth breakfast and then decided to go for a morning walk down to Hasting Street to browse and see what was around and to find ourselves a bite of breakfast. Hastings Street is very commercialised... lots of shops... and surprisingly some fashion places I wouldn't have expected to find in Noosa, such as Mimco, Witchery and Rodd & Gunn (plus heaps more that I can't remember!). There were a lot of roadworks and maintenance going on and around Hastings Street... but I figure they are doing that now in the off season so that the place looks it's best during the peak season. We walked the entire of Hastings Street and then found a quiet-ish place in a food court to have some breakfast. I had eggs benedict (which I haven't had in oh so long!), Phan had a croissant and Beth got a babycino. Beth also drank my entire orange juice (I think I got one sip!)... we have to start ordering a separate drink for her from now on.

Here's a shot of Beth enjoying her babycino...

























After our relaxed breakfast, Phan grabbed a newspaper and Beth and I browsed this kids hairdresser's shop . They had a bubble machine at the front which was blowing out a gazillion bubbles and it drew Beth's attention like a magnet. We ended up buying one for her... she thinks it is one of the coolest things ever.

We wandered back to the apartment and then got ready to have a our first swim of the day in the pool. Lots of fun... although Beth started to try and push us away when we held her... she wanted to swim by herself... even though there was no way that was going to happen! After the swim, we had lunch and Beth had her nap... and when she woke up, we went and visited the Australian Nougat Factory... the place is nothing too exciting to look at and making nougat looks like possibly one of the most boring things to do... but the nougat is *TO DIE FOR*! It's not the chewy kind that gets stuck in your teeth, but a soft almost marshmallowy texture... it is amazing... and it has heaps of macadamia nuts in it... I bought 3 bars and a big packet of little ones... and then on the way home on Wednesday, we drove past and stopped in and I bought more! I couldn't help myself. Beth also loves it... when she hears the rustling of the packet, she comes looking for nougat! After our little gourmet food visit, we dropped into Noosa Village shopping centre and grabbed some steaks to bbq for dinner. Back to the apartment and we decided to go for a swim in the pool again (just to avoid the messiness of the sand)... and then after the swim and shower we headed down to do a silhouette photo shoot on the beach, before coming back for dinner.
