Birthday coast trip

Friday night, somewhat later than usual (7pm), we headed down to the coast. Stopped in at the Scottish Restaurant for dessert (maltesers sundaes - yummm). The place was bogan central though ..

Arrived at the house probably a bit before 10pm. I was almost asleep at this point, have spent the better half of the afternoon drinking at a work party. But Dave arrived we decided to heat up the spa, so had a couple of beers while playing Flight Control HD!! I really need a lot more practise at that game! And no, I'm not going to spend ~$700 on one! Spa'ed til quite late.

Saturday morning I had a long sleepin (til 10:30!!) and had a leftover slice of pizza for breakfast. Started one of the house's 750-piece jigsaws while enjoying the view. (and Dave put on Queen at Wembley so was singing along to that :):) )

Went for a walk down to the shops to get a paper.

In the afternoon we experimented putting up a couple of Dave's tents to see which one he thought would be better to take away on his next bike trip. He decided this one (even though it's bigger and a bit better) is too much of a pain for one person to put up and take down.

Later on, Stu and I went for a walk by ourselves along the cliffs and back along the rocks.

Came back and we opened the Stone's Green Ginger Wine (which Dave had decided he should get me to try on a previous trip), and I finished off the jigsaw. Also had a go at hooking up the camera to the Eee PC, but was quite frustrated that the computer wouldn't see it :(

Then we headed into Batemans Bay to find some dinner. We liked the look of Barkala Tapas bar, so went in there. We got the $35 banquet which was five courses, as well as some champagne (as you do). There was some foccacia style bread and a dip, then a tartare (salmon) dish, then a duck salad (which was pretty awesome), then beef cheek (sooo tender!) and a mushroom dish (probably my favourite - soo tasty!). Yum yum yum :) Enjoyed it :)
