More pics from our getaway

We went on a walk in the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve

This was the view from across the road at the Mary Cairncross Park. These are the Glasshouse Mountains.

On Thursday after some fun shopping we went for a drive on the Mapleton Forest Drive. Should've had a 4WD instead of Josh's car but it was still fun. Anyway, we came to a little park/walking area and this was the sign warning us to not fall over the waterfall. Josh found it amusing and wanted a picture of it.

And this is the water that leads to the waterfall. It should've been called a watertrickle. =) But it was still sorta steep and slippery. Don't worry. We followed the sign and didn't fall. =)

We didn't quite learn our lesson about driving in the hills and forests and decided to go check out Point Glorious Lookout. It was a nice lookout even though we about killed Josh's car. =)

Mornings

Josh and I had a great time away this week. This is what our mornings looked like.

Josh outside waiting for breakfast to be served. I obviously took the photo from inside the cottage.

Josh having his morning "cuppa"


Breakfast is served. This is actually the second course. A 3 egg ham and cheese omelet for me and a country breakfast for Josh--sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and half a tomato.

First course--fresh squeezed juice (I had orange and Josh had tropical) fresh fruit for me and pancakes for Josh (he had already eaten one).


The breakfasts were included in the cost of our cottage. We filled out a little menu each day for the next morning. We got to choose when (between 7:30 and 9:30) it was served. And yes, they brought it to us at our cottage. So nice.
