Queensland Trip Day 7 Part 2 - Sunshine Coast

After the visit to the Maleny Dairies, we headed towards Montville. Driving around at the hinterland is very much easier with a GPS at hand. Yes, there are signs along the way, but I feel much secure knowing we can navigate our way out with the GPS if we do get lost. If I remember correctly, we took the scenic route 23 towards Maleny and Montville. There are signs along the way to guide the drivers. So don't worry.

There were a few pitstops along the way for us tourists to stop for a quick photo taking. And so we did.






And soon we arrived at Montville. First order of business, lunch! We stopped by this quaint little restaurant for a meal. Camphor Cottage.




Their chocolate salted caramel tart was nice, as was their coffee. 



Of course we ordered a pasta dish for the girls again. And both dar and me shared their sandwich burger




And I loved this pink rock salt with organic whole black pepper! I am a person who puts lots of salt when eating my meat at Gyu Kaku! I need to buy this!

We ventured to the many different shops after lunch. We didn't buy much, mostly to take a look at what was avilable. In the end we bought just 2 rings for the girls.









And of course we had to buy chocolate from their famed Montville Chocolate Country shop. It was not as big as the chocolate factory shop we visited at Margaret River in Perth. This is really just a shopfront.

The weather was just magnificent . And these are photos I took when I was in the moving car. Blue skies and green grass, what's not to like?





After a simple cooked dinner, we went down to Bulcock Beach for a Twilight Market, which was to be held on Friday nights for 6 consecutive weeks. We were lucky to be there on the very first Friday night it was held. 

The market was held on a small scale. Though it did bring much life to the quiet nightlife of Caloundra. 




Our sole purchase of the night, churros! Somehow I cannot find churros as nice as those I had at Disneyland Toyko! Argh!



And yes, there had to be a Christmas tree at every apartment lobby.
