The second day in Australia, we wanted to see a little more of the area and the popular places plus my parents were looking forward to seeing a beach. After sleep in past noon we caught the bus at the Uni and headed to Mooloolaba. After checking in at the hotel, we crossed the street to the beach where we just hung out for a bit and took in the scenery. After about an hour or two of picture taking and hanging out on the rocks we headed up to the esplanade for a couple drinks and a snack. Since they didn’t have bud light anywhere in Australia my dad had to find a new beer of choice at least for the week. While at the restaurant, which overlooked the water, he tried Hahn light, an Australian beer- which stuck. After enjoying some appetizers (called entrees here) we proceeded to walk up and down the esplanade checking out all the various shops and restaurants that lined the street. I had heard there was a pier down the road where we could check out the sailboats and big boats that docked in the area. The walk turned out being further down the road that we thought and before we reached it we were too chilly and headed back to the hotel to grab our coats. While at the hotel we took a bit of time just to relax (I think my parents were still a little tired from traveling). After this we went back out onto the esplanade and just walked around a bit more. This is where my mom discovered that all the stores in Australia close so early so we again proceeded to enjoy another meal on the esplanade except we looked at almost every menu before deciding on a place where my dad could get an Australian burger, which wasn’t as good as he had expected (the burgers here are a little different than the ones in the United States). By the time dinner was over we headed back to our hotel to call it a night because we had to get up early the next morning for a day full of traveling.
