Catching up with old friends in the best places......

We've just been catching up with one of Chris's old Army mates this past weekend.  And it was ANZAC Day on Friday, which seemed to be fitting for the occasion.  His mate, Vic ( with his wife, Maria), were going to be holidaying on the Sunshine Coast which is north of Brisbane.  Noosa Heads is one of those idyllic spots in the world where there's balmy breezes, lots of little sidewalk cafes and shops.  It's a fitting place to rest, relax, and catch up with old friends.  So that's where we headed.

We had a late lunch and a late dinner.  Catching up on 33 missed years.  We discussed many things this past weekend including families, friends, and plans for the future, while having some wonderful meals.

100_4302Our weekend ended with a walk in the morning on the beach, along with breakky on the beach.  And while that beachside restaurant's service was extremely poor, the company was wonderful as we laughed and enjoyed ourselves.

 

We parted, exchanging emails and addresses while Chris tried to get them to move to Hervey Bay.  It's interesting that he's trying to get the kids to move there, our friends to move there, our relatives to move there, and anybody else he can muster up. 

But apart from that, it was a glorious weekend spent with renewing old friendships in one of the most beautiful places in Queensland.
