Grand Adventure Part 6 Day 1

Lovely morning!

We started off with a lovely walk at Lapstone hill to see the Lapstone Zig Zag.  The site of the Lucasville station. Spike had a jolly good time at the lookout.

Breakfast at the Crusty Loaf at Blaxland. I had the most amazing spinach and feta roll. The off to visit the resting place of Sir Henry Parkes. Next stop, The Prime Ministers' Corridor of Oaks. Joseph Jackson conceived the idea of an avenue of oak trees to be planted by all the Prime Ministers of Australia or their nearest surviving relative.

Then it was lunch at Schwarz Patisserie in wentworth Falls. 'It is not only well known in the Blue Mountains, it is famous as a specialist German bakery throughout the region with visitors travelling from far a-field just to grab one of their delights.' Absolutely amazing food!

We toddled off to Leura cascades, Wentworth Falls and Lennox Bridge. We wandered off to Glenbrook Lagoon to see some ducks for Gem. We had tea with himself's dad and then it was off to the pub for dinner and a quiet trip back to the Elf Sanctuary. Spike and I had a fabulous day in the Blue Mountains. We shall see what tomorrow brings!

Grand Adventure Part 4

We packed up at the Bat cave and headed to Casa Christensen. We stopped for coffee on the way and met up with Shari Mattox and Peter Sherriff. There were some mighty fine cows there as well.

After some time catching up the Steve and playing with Charli, we headed up to Sky High to take photos of the sunset with Paul Pavlinovich. Paul was a wee bit late and managed to scare us half to death resulting in a lost lens cap... We had a chat and coffee than back to Casa Christensen.

Grand Adventure Part 3 Day 4

It was a slow morning followed by another trip to Nude Food for brunch.

Following that, Ms Al and I headed to 'Island Healing for 2 hours of bliss. It was a surprise for Al. We had a 1 hour Body Massage, 30 minute Hand & Feet Massage and a 30 minute Aromatherapy Facial!

After our blissing we popped down to the jetty for some photography. Al had an extra bit of an adventure. We picked up things for dinner and headed home.

Fantastic dinner then bed.
