| This is getting boring |
The rain returned overnight Monday and Tuesday morning was
very, very soggy. One of us sat under
the awning and watched the rain all morning while the other spent the morning
at the hairdressers. We picked up Graeme
and Gladys at noon and headed to Buderim for lunch. Graeme did assure us that the views from the
Buderim Tavern were magnificent, we just couldn’t see them for the rain and
cloud. However, the rain did finally
stop and we were able to see the ocean and many kilometres both to the north
and south. The meal was “interesting,”
in that while everyone else received what they had ordered, my ordered of
battered snapper, salad and chips (without capsicum or chilli) had become a
large amount of lettuce, two very tiny pieces of tomato, a few carrot shreds
and three small strips of grilled fish, which had spent an inordinate amount of
time under the grill. After sending it
back, the plate was subsequently returned with the chef’s comment that this was
all he would provide owing to a chilli allergy.
Not happy, Jan. I eventually
settled for a very nice meat pie and the restaurant manager found the time to
come to the table and explain the chef’s decision. The dining room and views were lovely, the
company was great, but lack of communication from staff was an issue.
Today, Wednesday, we both were up in time to see the sunrise
– except it was raining again. The
Pajero had to be at the dealers before 7.30 for its diagnostics; poor thing
turned out to have a bit of a valve problem.
(I should have kept the lettuce from the plate, yesterday!) The part was replaced and the problem has now
been rectified (hopefully). The forecast
heavy rain has arrived and looks like continuing for some time.
Tomorrow we move further north to Hervey Bay
