Easter Mini-break Holiday Weekend

We had a 5 day weekend for the Easter and Anzac holidays down under, so I hopped on a plane up to Brisbane to spend some time with my lovely friend Renee. The weekend was spent doing a little shopping (although most stores were closed), quality beach time and lots wine drinking. It was a wonderful weekend and the most relaxed I have felt since arriving in Oz. Enjoy the pic's below:

DAY 1:

Purchased new polishes for the Fall/Winter season

Black and Spiro, closed, but got some cool pics and inspiration

Light afternoon lunch



DAY 2:

Afternoon drive up to the Sunshine Coast


Short hike through the trees to the beach


View from our the shore, the sky was unreal

I took a short walk up the beach, hardly any people, my foot prints are the only ones around





Couldn't get enough of the clouds and sky, so beautiful



Finally got on in the water!

Full disclosure: I didn't actually ride this short board, but it was easier to take a pic with than the 9 footer I paddled out on

Yummy dinner after a day at the beach, pasta and more wine

DAY 3:

Biggest and Best hot chocolate I have ever had, it came in a bowl, not a mug

Happy me with my Bowl o' Chocolate

I was hoping to have some pictures of me holding a Koala and feeding some Kangaroos, but the line into the animal park was super long, it was raining and I had an afternoon flight, so I'll save that for my next trip to Brissy!
