Mikey, Johanna and I headed down to Wyoming (near Gosford 1 ½ hours north of Sydney) for Aunt Riets 80th Birthday.
We caught the plane to Newcastle, then hired a car and drove the 1.30hours south (Thank God for the GPS).
Had a little lunch at Riets when we arrived with Riet and her partner Bernie.
Johanna was staying with Riet, so we both checked into the Terrenora Motel down the road (never again!!!)
Then Dinner with everyone one and transport organised for the next day.
We organised to pick up Johanna and head out to the Birthday lunch at a wonderful Italian Restaurant, there were 21 of us in all, consisting of Riet’s relatives and Bernie’s relatives, we had a lovely lunch over about 3 hours.
Unfortunately our hire car was not locking so we had to go for a drive back up to Newcastle to exchange cars. So we took the opportunity to take the “Coast Road” back down – when we realised how spoilt we are in Queensland didn’t get to see much of the coast on the way. We stopped at the Entrance which was lovely and decided to bring Johanna back the next day for a day visit.
On the Monday Mikey and I drove out to the Hunter Valley for a half day outing – now these guys know how to have a cellar door. We only did 2 wineries but we were very impressed. Had the world’s most expensive Hot Dog ($10.50!!!!!!!!!!) then back home.
It was great to catch up with Riet and Bernie and meet all the new relatives, we had a great time.
