Woke up about five am for sunrise and there was some spectacular colours. Took a few photos and then went back to bed for awhile.
Got up awhile later for some coffee and then made some bacon and eggs for brekky. The day was so calm, not a breathe of wind around so I got the drone out again and sent it out for another flight.
Then I started the slow and boring task of packing everything up so I could head off home. There had been several hours of sun by this time time so the gazebo and toilet tent had dried off nicely. I had trouble with the toilet tent which is supposed to fold up flat after a few twists but I couldn't seem to get just the right twists, but I got it flat enough to stuff into the storage section in the camper and I'll sort it out when I get home and can watch a YouTube video or two on how to do it properly. Then with everything packed and me a sweaty mess I went for a quick swim to cool off, very pleasant. Back to the car where I got changed and ready to head off down the beach until I realized I'd misplaced the car keys. After about fine minutes of frenzied searching I remembered where I had put them when I went for the swim and all was good in the world again. It was about three hours after high tide so the run down the beach was pretty easy, but the exit at the third cutting was a little tricky as a car and caravan where stuck on the exit coming onto the beach. I had to maneuver around them losing my run up and coming to a stop in the soft sand. However, a quick reverse and then a little more acceleration and I was up and out. I pumped the tyres up to highway pressure and headed down to the Noosa river where I stopped off for some lunch. I kept going south down to Coolum where I stopped at one of the lookouts for a cold drink and to finish off my blog post for this trip.
From here I'll drop into to see mum and dad in Caloundra on my way home. All up a very pleasurable way to spend the last five or so days.
