Easter

We have had a great Easter break and have been rushing around exploring more of Oz with Jan and Mick. We went to Palm Beach on Friday and then in the evening met up with some long lost cousins of Mick's who live 5 minutes walk from our flat! They are great fun and we are going round to theirs for a BBQ tomorrow. On Easter Sunday our friends came round for lunch which was excellent and involved lots of chocolate and even more alcohol! We were even treated to one of Jan's homemade apple crumbles! Today we went to Bondi and had our first proper swim since Jan and Mick arrived although it was abit choppy and Jan almost got flattened by an oncoming wave. After a long walk around the coast we went up to the south head and watched the sun set over the city.

Mum and Dad have arrived!

We have been having a great time with Mum and Dad and have spent the last few days in a place called the Hunter Valley a couple of hours north and inland. We hired a cottage on a golf course and spent 3 days drinking at the wineries, soaking in the hot tub, hitting a few golf balls on the driving range and Alex treated herself to a massage at the best spa in Australia!

Today we spent the day driving and walking around the area we live exploring places we haven't been able to because we haven't had a car. We have been on some amazing walks around the cliff heads with views of the city in the distance and then finished the day with a BBQ on the terrace drinking Moet and sparkling red wine from the Hunter Valley!!

Unfortunately we are back to work tomorrow and Mum and Dad are off to the Blue Mountains but its only a 4 days week because of Easter and then we have another 6 days off!
