Apartment Hunting

The tourist trap of Nambour

It has been exceptionally hard to find an air conditioned, furnished apartment within our price range. All of the real estate agents I have spoken to assure us that this should change when the summer ends, but we really don't want to stay in Nambour (or Damn Bored! as we've started calling it) any longer than we have to.

We found two units that we are interested in that are fully furnished and set up as holiday rentals. That is great for us because that means electronics, pots, pans, crockery, flatware, etc. are all included in the rental. All we need to bring is our stuff and linens.

Both units are located in Marcoola in beachfront resort complexes. We are doing are final inspections of the properties on Friday & Saturday to make a final decision.

Check them out and let us know what you think!

Then, on our way home we visited the "Big Pineapple" in Nambour. It was thrilling for a few minutes and we purchased a really tasty pineapple, but other than that ~ not so much to report. Jon did purchase a bottle of hot sauce of a special varietal; it was called, "Smack my arse and call me Cindy." There were several other "very descriptive" types that I care not to repeat that he wants to try during our time here.

That's all for now....
