We planned a lovely Family day out to Eumundi Markets and Montville. Nice start to the day in warm, dry weather but as we reached the Sunshine coast, ironically the sun disappeared and it started hammering down. Jack kept us entertained in the car with another round of "Would you Rather" and proclaiming that the Sunshine Coast hated us as the rain lured down. We trooped round a fair amount of the Eumundi markets in the rain for about an hour, saw interesting stuff but I have nowhere to put it in my luggage!p, so I bought a little ring fish for a Rach instead! Heard a cool band playing native sounds with a couple of drums and a didgeridoo. Jack had a bookmark made for him by a nice aboriginal fella who insisted on not charging. Wet and a little cold, we bundled back in the cars and headed to Montville to find some lunch. Sadly the views out were obscured by the low lying cloud and mist and the temperature had dropped a little being up in the hills. We found a nice burger joint for lunch that catered for everyone - a single guy in the kitchen but he cooked everything from fresh. I had a lovely chicken burger with a side of chilli-cheese chips. Adrian had the No Fuss burger which was still a lovely cheeseburger with onion rings and pretty filling, we couldn't manage to finish the chips between us. The rain still wouldn't let up and got worse as we finished eating. Rather than a slow stroll around the rest of the shops we headed down the road (Montville is on a slope) to the Chocolate shop. We all bought something from the amply stocked shelves and headed back to the car. We drove home through the rain and fog, I munched on my popping candy frog which looked like something from the buffet trolley on the Hogwarts train, while Jack ate his cookies and cream turtle head first before devouring some rainbow dust. We drove passed the Glasshouse mountains, Mount Tibrogargan looking like a brooding gorilla in the mist. Once we got as far as Woodville the sun graced us again with his presence for the rest of the car ride. Yet another Die hard movie and a Stressful evening for Rach and another late to bed for all of us.
