Bus trip to Eumundi

i had organized a bus trip to Eumundi for Red Hats. Kangaroo buslines had advertised a trip but I was doubtful that we could all get on it as once its filled that it so i had contacted them re getting a small bus just for us. Woohoo, saved $30 each by doing so but we did have to buy our own lunch. $59 and $57 for pensioners for trip, lunch and tours but for us it was $22 each but we did charge $25 just in case we couldnt fill the bus. I went to the depot as some were starting from there, the receptionist looked at me in horror when I said that we were going to Eumundi and asked how many, I said 23, "Argh" she gasped and walked out the back. I was thinking about plan B if they didnt have a bus, she came back all smiles and said that she hadnt known about the seperate bus and it would be ready in about five minutes. thank goodness for that. Uneventful trip up and very quick, we were there in under an hour from morayfield, we set a time to be picked and wandered off. Coffee was first on the agenda, wow there was such a lot to see! some of the girls wanted to meet for lunch so we arranged to have lunch at the pub at 12.30pm. i bought what looked like a dress and was persauded to try it on, looks like a dress but far too short, I think i will get a lot of wear from it. Quite diferent from what i usually wear and its paisley so will go with lots of other colours. We had almost four hours there and I'm sure we didnt see everything, picked up and went to the ginger factory where I bought some ginger sauce for cooking, love the stuff. Then people were talking about the strawberry farm and we said that wasnt on the plan but bus driver said he would take us there. No-one picked strawberries, a few bought a couple of things, I guess it was a nice stop and something else to cross off the "must go there one day" list. As it was our fourth birthday, i had bought small gifts for the girls and handed them out on the way home. Lynne had also made emboirdered tissue bags with each one's intial on them. Everyone seemed to have a good time so it was decided to look at another trip for next Feb when I will be home. have a quote to go to maleny in Feb and its cheaper only $20 and thats allowing a small fudge factor.
