Gold Coast

The weekend was fairly low key although we did manage to get a couple short and somewhat painful morning run/walks in and have a small pie and picnic at Redlands Esplanade. On Monday, Margaret, a fellow Year 1 teacher of Nancy's, and two of her kids were kind enough to give us a day tour of the Gold Coast as far south as Coolangatta in Queensland and/or Tweed Heads in New South Wales. The surf was up in many areas with the lifeguards being kept busy hauling swimmers out of strong riptides created by the high surf. Nevertheless we had a fantastic day swimming (sort of), sunning ourseves, walking and generally exploring the area.
