Munchkins at Callala Beach a few weeks ago.
Holidays
Kiama
We checked out of our house at Callala beach this morning and slowly drove home via Berry, Kiama and Stanwell Tops. The rain started bucketing down after we left Kiama so unfortunately it wasn’t nice enough to take any pics.
Kiama – the little blowhole.
Oh hai!
Wonky self-portrait.
Kiama lighthouse.
Big blowhole. Thar she blows!
Snuggles.
“I love my dad!”
I had such a great weekend. The girls were amazingly well-behaved! Such a pleasant surprise – both my wonderful Alec for taking me away and my loving dogs for not being painful!
Callala Beach Getaway
Alec surprised me with a beach weekend down south at Callala beach. He rented a dog-friendly house and spirited me away after work on Friday night for a lovely weekend.
Beach!
Buffy’s first time on sand.
Kahlua has a bad hair day.
Freedom! First time off leash in public.
Newcastle Weekend
Alec and I had a relaxing weekend in Newcastle with Jan.
Pretty beach at sunset.
Shroom hunting.
Port Stephens Holiday – More!
A mini vid I took at Fingal Bay, Port Stephens.
And a panorama pic I took from the tea rooms.
Port Stephens Holiday – Day 3
After a leisurely breakfast, Alec and I checked out of the hotel. We went to lunch at the Inner Light Tea Rooms with Lisa and Alan before heading back to Sydney.
The tea house is on the site of the old light house and has amazing views of the bays.
Lisa and Alan and their root beer spiders.
Magpie on the lookout.
Mmmm quiche.
Tasty scones.
This little fellow caught a worm right at my feet. Having people around didn’t bother him in the slightest.
Port Stephens Holiday – Day 2
We both slept badly, so had a big sleep in, then drove down to Fingal Bay to spend a cruisy day lying on the beach.
By a total co-incidence, Alec’s dad and his wife were staying at the same hotel as us, so we met up with them for dinner that night. After dinner we went down to the marina at Solder’s Point to watch the sun set.
Port Stephens Holiday – Day 1
After several weeks of being sick, spending a few days relaxing at Port Stephens with Alec was just what I needed.
We stayed at Salamander Shores on Soldier’s Point. Since we booked last minute, we didn’t have much of a choice of places. We had a “garden view” room, which overlooked a rainforest type of fernery. It was really pretty, like being in a rainforest canopy, along with the kookaburras that woke me up the following morning.
View from the balcony.
Our room – it came complete with a headless Alec.
The storm started rolling in in the late afternoon. This pic is taken from Soldier’s Point – you can see the storm in the distance.
Alec on the wharf. He loves having his picture taken.
Self-portrait. I am addicted.
Wandering around the garden at the hotel.
Hugest rainbow I have ever seen.
Amazing sunset over Nelson Bay.
We found a delicious noodle place at Nelson Bay – fast, delicious veges and noodles… mmmmmm.
