What a fabulous day we had on our very first Op Shop Tour!
Last Thursday, 16th July, a wonderful group of passengers joined us for a fun-filled day of op shopping, bargain hunting, and plenty of laughs along the way.
From hidden gems and vintage treasures to unique one-off finds, everyone enjoyed exploring the different stores and seeing what surprises were waiting on the shelves. You never know what you'll discover in an op shop—and that's all part of the fun!
Some of the day's memorable finds included a fantastic West Coast Eagles hoodie (personally picked out by one of the op shop staff for one of our die-hard Eagles supporters!), a double-headed umbrella, an adorable little teapot, multiple kettles, more than a few wigs that provided plenty of entertainment, and of course... lots and lots of laughs! Even Peter managed to find something - a brand new wool blanket for these chilly nights we are currently having!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made Pre-Loved Parade such a success. We loved seeing everyone's treasures, hearing the stories behind their finds, and sharing the excitement of uncovering those special one-off pieces.
We're hoping to make these op shopping adventures a regular part of the Royal Gala Tours calendar, travelling to different towns, exploring new op shops, and discovering even more unique treasures together. Every trip is different, and you never know what you'll find!
Our next op shopping adventure is "Treasure Run" on Wednesday, 18th November. We'd love to have you join us for another day of treasure hunting, bargain finding, and plenty of laughs along the way.
We hope to see you there! 💙
