Yesterday was a pretty bum day. We walked around and enjoy the beach down the street. We had a lot of stuff to plan out for the next few days before we leave for Cairns so we watched some TV and I spent the rest of the evening finishing my school final. (I did eventually finish it!)
This morning we got up to head out to Coolangatta. Close to an hour south of Paradise Point; this is where the airport was that we would be flying out of to Cairns. There was also the Wintersun Festival being held that we were hoping to go to.
We found a camping ground that was only 600 meters from the airport. It was also a hop, skip and a jump away from the festival which we walked to after we set up the tent.
The Wintersun Festival is a nostalgia throwback, with old cars, dated music and little booths selling clothes and shoes from back in the day. John loved the cars, and was like a little kid in the candy store. The cars are named differently out here, and there are different makers. So he really enjoyed seeing the differences and the similarities. I was just excited to be at a fair! We even splurged and bought a $4 dollar whoopie pie! (Brownbettysbakery.com.au) It was one of the most delightful pastries I have had in some time!
We ate, we watched cars, we walked around. We headed back just at sunset and enjoyed the romantic time together next to the beach.
We head out early tomorrow morning for Carins, which is more North and is where part of the Great Barrier Reef is. Supposed to be warmer, sunnier, and more beachy! Does it really get better then this?


ps. The $25 groceries lasted us perfectly!
