9th & 10th January 2010
We had a wonderful relaxing weekend with blue skies and temparatures in the 30s while we heard about the freezing temps back home on the TV. Saturday morning was spent relaxing in the pool while we waited for Nathan and Anna and 2-year old Sofia.
They soon arrived and we sat down to catch up while Aunty Mary and Sofia wandered around looking into everything and feeding the birds (best fed birds in Queensland!). Nathan loved his t-shirt from Wales which said ‘Cymru… probably the best country in the world’ and put it on straight away, while Sofia identified the Welsh dragon as a dinosaur, but she’ll learn. Unfortunately Anna’s gift of some Welsh soaps was the only casualty of the 4 months on the road, but I think she’ll enjoy the bath bombs we got her instead.
Aunty Mary prepared a smorgasboard of delights for dinner, everything absolutely delicious, then Anna, Nathan and Sofia headed for home.
On Sunday we visited the big shopping mall at Pacific Fair for a bit of a mooch around the shops. We did learn one important lesson though - eat small icecreams and don’t sit in the sun with them - we ordered two large ones and ended up having to practically drink it because we were sat in the sun and they were melting quicker than we could eat them!!
