Day 21... Redcliffe

Day 21... Redcliffe

Well today was one of those days where I got the distinct feeling that I shouldn't be on the road!

I had planned to revisit Toowoomba today... but instead got stuck in terrible traffic... so eventually I gave up on the idea of going to Toowoomba and decided to head up towards the Sunshine Coast ( I was thinking I could visit my Mum at work... for a lunch date).... but instead I got stuck in terrible traffic...ARG!! It took me almost 2 hours to get out of Brisbane... and it seemed that every new road I tried to take... to avoid traffic... lead straight into more traffic! SO... running out of time... because of course I need to be back in time to pick up my sweet pea from school... I ended up heading to REDCLIFFE.

The weather today was perfect... as I drove into Redcliffe I thought 'Hey this day might just be turning around'.... the sky was blue and clear... the water was sparkling... and then CRUNCH!!!! A BIG 4WD backed into my tiny little car... and then took off! I followed close behind until he pulled over and hopped out the the car. Jean-Paul expressed that he was not trying to escape but rather find somewhere safe to pull over. He gave me his card and said sorry... and then we both looked at my car... (I was expecting the worst... it was LOUD crunch!)... miraculously there was no obvious damage to my car... no scratches or dents... no flames shooting out and enveloping the car... Thank GOODNESS!

So by this point... I wanted out and home! I quickly ran around and took some photos... it really was a very idyllic kind of day in Redcliffe... I grabbed a coffee... and headed home (and I made it safely... without anymore dramas).
