Scarborough Fair



Day one we made our way to Scarborough where we are waiting for the weather to improve a little for our first leg at sea, to Mooloolaba, which at this point we expect will be tomorrow.

The weather improved throughout the day and we enjoyed a great walk to Redcliffe. Spent some time at the markets there, and particularly enjoyed the buskers.

The views along the waterfront are terrific. Whilst a fair hike from Manly by slow boat Redcliffe is not far by car and I recommend the area as a day out from Brisvegas. Little beaches and the markets, with plenty of picnic spots.

We were attracted to the chandlery by a "sign of wisdom", see photo. On the opposite side of the board they advertised tinned butter for $4.90 so we bought one to try - now there is something to look forward to!

The "Ambling Improvers" should be pleased as we became serious today about getting the steps up and set a PB of 19,872 steps. The majority was completed over a measured track and with that we discovered that my machine is not counting every step. We walked a measured 14km plus more through the day and recorded only 12.7km - ripped off! Anyway the average is now at 6972 with a commitment at least to get to the requisite average of 10,000 per day. Gung-Ho team!

All going well off to Mooloolaba tomorrow - take care.
