Weekend Away

Since it was Mummy and Auntie Kita's Birthdays and also Mummy and Daddy's plus Uncle Roche and Auntie Kita's anniversaries recently they decided a weekend away to celebrate was in order.

They spent the weekend at a B & B just out of Murwillimbah, had a fantastic time and learnt a few important things...

1. The tables "out of towners" are seated at in restaurants are furthest away from the heaters and require hoods to be worn!

2. The best way to impress the wives is to get them a really HUGE bottle of wine like this to share with dinner.

3. Its always a good idea to inspect your food for strange ingredients...this item was at the bottom of Mummy's soup and luckily turned out to be ginger root.

4. When the hosts leave you some port out for a nightcap you can either drink it or use it to clean your bathroom sink. Both ideas were tried and the second seemed the better way to go!

5. Breakfast cooked by someone else tastes 1000 times better than the ones you cook yourself.

6. A hammock should be a mandatory piece of furniture.

7. Pretty girls enhance a pretty view!

8. Daddy and Uncle Roche will NEVER grow up! They are still torturing Mummy and Auntie Kita with the same jokes they told about 13 years ago. This pic was taken soon after having lunch at a restaurant "run by two men" and gave them much to discuss for the rest of the day.

9. Remember the EXACT spot Uncle Roche drank from so that the scientists can be directed there to test the water for whatever bacteria makes him sick.

10. Auntie Kita takes great pics of people in front of dam walls.

11. Mummy doesn't! In fact her dam picture should be damned! Where's the water Mummy??

12. Shetland ponies are so cute.

13. Everyone should wake up to a view like this at least once.

14. Its pretty easy to see why someone would want to live in these gorgeous mountains (which BTW is the largest volcanic crater in the world).

15. Mummy is able to take a decent photo sometimes...

16. Auntie Kita's pics are consistently good.

17. Uncle Roche has proved that he is very good at pouring a good glass of Moet.

18. Mummy and Auntie Kita are total champions at drinking it!!!!
