Trip to Shoalhaven

Tuesday 30 December

Jo is going camping at Culburra beach.

Having nothing to do (more like..not felling to do anything)

We decided to go and have a look.

It is very badly indicated and not having

a GPS we missed the turn and end up in Huskisson.

We like Huskisson and have been there a couple of time.

We decided to have a walk around and have lunch

then Claude went to the tourist bureau to get a map

and directions

it was very windy

the sign said "lighthouse" I think part of it is missing...

But the flies, oh boy they were bad.

on our way home we stopped at Kangaroo valley

Christmas decorations made out of

banksia nut

Very beautiful but pricey

leaving kangaroo valley our next stop

is dinner at Bowral at the Ecctera restaurant.

It has been open only one month by young men.

The food was great.

Walking around Narrabeen lake

Sunday 28 December

Very grey day

We decided to go for a walk around

the lake but this time starting at the other end.

We started a middle creek

and walk to the H2O cafe for lunch

look at relics of time ago

H2O cafe

our view

on the way back we spotted black swans

The track doing the whole circuit was suppose to be

finished at the end of this year...

the new date is ""end of February""

We went to see the work the are doing, the bridge 

is in place but there still a lot to do!!!

Sydney to Hobart yachts race

Friday 26 December

We had a picnic with hundred of people

while waiting for the race to start.

The James Craig was waiting in the heads

The first to come was Comache

Comache

and wild oat following close behind

the 4 first maxi passing in front of us

most of the yacht went right up to sea but this one

went sideway in front of the James Craig.

117 yachts started in the race

Christmas 2014

Thursday 25 December

I woke up early but Amelia was already watching TV.

She had been upstairs to tell her mum that Santa had come.

Santa has been very generous

opening presents

A pizza oven

Jo got this little stocking filler

"melting monster"

It was a hit with both children

they all had Lego

maybe I should have got some for Claude!!

Jo is preparing the ham for lunch

Claude blowing some pool toy

Amelia is using for the first time snorkeling flippers, tube and mask.

3 generations playing with Lego

Oscar has the good life

Asleep like a baby in my arms.

We spent a very relaxing day.

The children tried all their toys

and enjoyed themselves.
