Sea-kayaking on the Maroochy River

Friday night, we met up with several of the other doctors & staff at the hospital for drinks at Zachary's in Mooloolaba. It is a great little trendy-ish bar just off the main drag down there. Lonely Planet calls said bar, "Where hair gel goes to die." =) Either way, all of Jon's colleagues are amazingly nice and the bar was a lot of fun.

We woke up this morning and did an inspection on the property at Marcoola Beach Resort. It was huge & had enormous balconies, but I think we are leaning towards the one at Surfair. We are planning on submitting our application tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed!

The morning was quite overcast and did not appear to be a good beach day, but luckily enough the clouds burned off around noon and the sun was shining So, Jon and I decided to go check out some sea kayaks for hire on the river in Maroochydore.

We went for a short paddle around the little islands in the river. The views were lovely, the sun was shining, and the wind & tides were perfect. And of course, I got mouthfuls of water from numerous paddle splashes from a playful Jon.



By the time we got home, we were both completely knackered from a long day out in the sun & salt air. All plans of going out with the other docs in Cotton Tree went to hell in a handbasket & we ended up spending the evening watching Ghostbusters II on TV and eating Domino's. Pretty lame, but we have to be out of the house by 7:00am tomorrow for our 4WD trip through the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park.
