Meeting the Mac Macs

Jenny and I finally met the Canadian couple who we did an exchange with in 2006. Jan and Ken as expected are lovelly people and were great company. We spoke fondly of our exchange and planned a get together with all 8 involved in the exchange, Jenny and I, Wayne and Kathy, Ken and Jan and Marg and Bill. Hopefully we will get together in Fiji or some other exotic destination.

First visit to Em n Steve's Qld joint

We ventured up to Southport to visit Em and Steve before they left for Nepal and thankfully left rainy Newcastle behind and had great weather on our visit. Turned up without the complete list of requirements. Got the sleeping bags, camera, walking stick but forgot the pics of our Nepal trip. Darn!! Any way Jenny and I did some early morning bike rides, did a bit of exploring including a hike with Em and Steve up Mount Warning (practice for Nepal) and watched Steve, Em and Hayden play beach vollyball. Went out to a greek seafood restaurant and had BBQ at home the last night with oysters and prawns. Yum, thanks Steve.
