Christmas and the New Year.

Pat & Pete arrived 20th December followed by Allen and Ann and Stuart and James on Christmas Eve. It was a bit worrying what with weather in the UK if Stuart & James would make it. We booked into a lovely apartment with the boys and offered to do the Christmas lunch for everyone. In true aussie style we threw a few shrimps on the Barbie along with the odd steak, chop and chicken thigh and lazed by the pool for the day drinking a tinnie or two!!! Boxing Day we all wandered into town for a beer in the RSL and a ribbing over the cricket. Finished the day with the left overs from Christmas Day as you do.
Spent the next few days taking the boys here and there and went diving on the reef for a day. New Years we spent the evening in Cairns watching the fireworks and having a few beers. Ended up in a club with the boys and finally staggered home about 4.00am. Needless to say we weren’t up very early the following day! Although we did manage to meet Pat & Pete and Allen and Ann for a beer and dinner to say goodbye to Pat and Pete as they were off to Townsville the following day.
