Today, we all visited Strawberry Fields, Bellingham maze, Montville, Maleny cheese, Mary CairnCross lookout.
At least we could sleep in a bit this morning, as we weren't leaving Lukey's cabin until 9:00am. We slept well until 7:30am, then
got up, had brekky and got ourselves organised. We drove over to Lukey's cabin and left a little after 9:00am.
As I had loaded all locations into my GPS, Lukey followed me. We arrived at
Strawberry Fields about 18kms away, while Lukey and family picked strawberries, Marg and I sat under the balcony overlooking the strawberry fields. They picked 2 kilos, while Marg and I had coffee and I bought a kilo of straws. It was easier on my back. Mase and Mont loved picking straws.
Next port of call was
Bellingham Maze about 13kms away.
Here we played mini golf and walked through the mazes. Mase with help from Lukey was beating me for most of the 18 holes. Mont plaed
very well. The mazes were great fun, BUT they were about 6feet high, so Lukey and I could see over the top, which we did, BUT it was
still good fun.
Next port of call was
Montville about 22kms away.
Jo wanted to take a photo of Mont in front of the "Welcome to Montville", the only problem was, that we couldn't find the sign. I don't
think there is one, we drove from one end of town to the other.
Next port of call was
Maleny cheese about 10kms away.
We pulled up to the factory, just as the workers had finished production for today, so we didn't see any of the workers actually working.
Bugger. SO we bought some cheese and continued onto our lunch spot.
Next port of call was
Mary CairnCross cafe
about 3kms away.
We arrived here about 2pm for a latee lunch, we were starving. We had lunch, which consisted of Burgers, steak sanga, pies and fish n chips.
They were yumma. The cafe had just opened this week after being renovated. It looks very nice and the view of the Glasshouse mountains is
still stunning. After lunch and a few photos of the Glasshouse mountains, we headed homeward about 31kms away.
It was another excellent day, but tiring for these 2 old farts.
Dinner was strawberries, ice cream and the last of the leftover chicken sangas. They were yumma.
Tomorrow, it is a day of rest, probably take the grandkids to the beach etc.
