EZ N UP: EASTER IN SHEPP.....& MELBOURNE WEEKEND!!!!!!!

Us at Draculas

Dessert Mmmmm.....

Guess???????

Hello from sunny shepp......

Well easter was a quiet weekend for us. Tone picked me up from work on the Thursday arvo and OMG came back to the caravan park and it was packed to the gunnells!!! There was every available spot taken in the park and all by "tourists". Funny though - why would they come here???!! I figured it out though - it must be central for family and friend groups to meet here and catch up. By the end of the weekend we were sick of hearing the name "chloe" as that poor kid couldn't do anything. Next door to us the family had a whinger kid that cried the whole weekend - we are not used to having our space invaded. I know we are old farts.......

We went up to a place called Yalupna Island which is a beachy camping spot in the bush on the Murray river. Wendy and Les were up there for the easter break so we took the drive (1 hour from here) to see them. It was fantastic. Tone went out with Les in his boat fishing and it was very relaxing. We are going to take the van up for the weekend in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!!

We invited the "usual crowd" for afternoon tea on the Tuesday after the tourists had left and we had a fire - it was a lovely way to end the long weekend....

Bummer tho being a TEMP I lost three days pay. Tone is still now working and not for the lack of trying but he has been doing LED light conversions so that is keeping him going. He has an interview tomorrow. We are trying to hang here till the end of June - but will keep you all posted.

MELBOURNE WEEKEND

We had a great weekend last weekend in Melbourne. We went down Friday afternoon and stayed in City Tempo right in the city. I watched the "wedding" while Tone caught up with Nic and Josh......
Saturday morning we ventured to the VIC markets and then took Lauren and Nic for a drive down to brighton beach and to st kilda beach. Saw the Spirit of Tassie in port and got sexcited about when we do go on it to Tassie.

How lucky were we - we got tickets to go to "Draculas" - its a dinner show place we got a three course meal and a "fantastic" show. So if anyone is in Melbourne or on the gold coast you have to go...We had such a great time and laughed so much - totally politically incorrect but that was all part of the fun!!!!!!!

We had a little flutter at the "crown" and home to bed no richer......(situation normal)

On sunday we had a lovely brekky at the chocolate place and it was yummy. A bit more shopping and then we all went to Eureka which is the tallest viewing building in Australia. YES even I went up and had a look from NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE GLASS!!!! We enjoyed it and got some great pics so hope you enjoy them. We then dropped the "kids" back to the hotel and we had to make our way back to Shepparton..
It was really good to see Lauren and Nic, and hope they enjoyed catching up with us too.

Love and miss you all
