PHOTO OF THE WEEK - BEACH TRIP

Hi everyone!

I had a wonderful weekend. I hope you all did too. Alex and I went down the coast on Sunday. The weather was lovely, although quite hot. We stopped in at the Carrara Markets on our way down as we have never been and they are suppose to be really big and quite good.
They were big although not what I would call good markets. I was really disappointed in them. They were basically just a bunch of dollars and cents shops (cheap nick knack imports) all packed together with a few fresh produce stores in between. It was basically all commercial stuff, and there were only a few handmade things being sold there. I probably would not go back again. Just not my style of markets unfortunately.

We headed off to the beach afterwards which was definitely worth the trip down. It was beautiful and the water was perfect. I will let these pictures do the talking though -






Have a great week everyone :)

Wow!!! I want also to have warm and sunny weekend!!! In Germany the weather is
damp and cold at the moment. And the sun is only seldom coming out through the clouds.
Warm regards Sonata :)

I find the Carrarra markets a bit trashy too. Good food at the turf club markets and some handmade stuff at the surfers paradise night markets. Beach looks good, is this the south end, between Miami and Currumbin?

What a beautiful beach and wonderful photos. I'm glad you had such a lovely day even if the market was disappointing. We have what's called flea markets around here and they too are filled with booths of crappy imnports. Not my taste, but someone must buy that stuff because those booths stay in business. No accounting for bad taste, huh? LOL
