I left the apartment this morning and headed to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. I was just going to use my phone for pics, but after a while decided to get my camera, especially since where I was when I decided to do that was close to my car. Great weather and a nice day.
I then drove the short trip to Caloundra. Nice little town with a nice path along the beach and shops and cafes. I walked along the walkway until I was about 30 minutes out. Then came back on a road that had lots of restaurants. I don’t know why, but I had it in my head I wanted Domino’s pizza. So I see one on a map near where I am and call and order. I walk around for a bit killing time, then come back to where it supposedly is. Not there. The GPS is saying it’s there but it’s not. So I call them and they say it’s a 20-minute walk from where I am, right across from my campground. So I cancel the order as I was starving and didn't think I could wait that long. Turns out the spot I was at was where they used to be located. But as I think about it, I had my heart set on it, plus by the time I order somewhere else, I’d have to wait 20 mins anyway. So I call them back and start walking there. Actually, it took me about 12 mins. But it turns out the place is about 5 minutes from where I'd walked up to to kill time waiting for the pizza. So I eat it there and instead of walking back to an ice cream place I'd seen up the road, I stopped in at one on the corner near where I got the pizza. So I hungrily down the medium or large pizza, then get a cup of ice cream to top it off. I don’t want to know how many calories I had, though, I didn’t really have breakfast and have been walking a lot today, maybe 3 hours total, so I needed the fuel. Now I’m really thirsty.
While walking I could see the stars over the ocean. So nice. Not a lot of people out, though places shut down early this time of year, so there isn’t much going on right now I guess. But very nice out.
