as promised,heres the first lotta pics! Edit: ok here is the latest set of pics, we’ve only managed to upload upto day 6, there’s about 12 more days to go up! We’ll send out an email once its all done.
The above pics are from day 1 where we hung out at the airport and drove a long way to Kandalama Hotel. We passed a lot of rural areas, we spent most of our time in the country hence the overly rural pics. Highlights along the way included watching the driver narrowly miss the crazy tut tuts (3 wheeled mini taxis) that seem hell bent on destruction, Andy noticed freshly made asbestos being transported on trucks and Sue (one of the sisters who joined us on the trip) pointed out the scarecrow like figures people put up to scare evil spirits away from newly built homes. For lunch we stopped by a nice little touristy rest house. Once we got to the hotel we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves.

Wow how cool, hope you are having fun. Andy, did you go horse riding? You havent done that in years!
Twas a merry christmas at the Fernando household, the food was awesome (thanks mum) and the kids were a lot older this year entertaining themselves with poker and darts. Who remembers the days of hide and seek?
   Â
I think this was the most multicultural we’ve ever been, we even has a dog (Toby) join in on the festivities!
 Â
The men sat outside, the kids guzzled down the dessert and the lovely ladies lounged out in the lounge.

The memories will last for a lifetime,

Well i dont know what came over us but me and Andy went for a run on Friday night. This may possibly be repeated in the future, only time will tell but we’ve both got sore legs…
Other highlights of this week include (not in any order):
Taking Malisha to Star City for the awesome buffet and not winning a single thing in the casino
Going to Luna Park and discovering Andy doesn’t like not being in control
Hanging out with Annabelle, Kathleen, Nicole and Al at Hillside Tavern (with an out of control Andy!)
Watching the movie Room 1408 tonight (not sure if that really is a highlight or not)
Andy winning $60 at Pennant Hills Inn and trying out the new chef who wasnt too bad
Going Christmas present shopping and almost getting everything we needed
Andy getting his bike fixed for cheaper than we thought it would be
Being talked into a wine subscription service so now we have to start really liking wine
Watching the recent hailstorm from our balcony safe in the knowledge our vehicles were in the garage
Me giving Andy a buzz cut and not drawing any blood this time…
No we haven’t disappeared…we just get busy (lazy) every now and then. Highlights of the month include:
Going to Eugenia’s wedding on the weekend, held in Karingbah and Liverpool. It was a very long drive but totally worth it, there’s some pics up on facebook.
Andy’s purchased a weird LCD monitor arm thingy so he can set up two screens for the one computer which should come in handy when i want to watch tv and he wants to browse the forums.
I made a stir fry and tried chucking peanut butter in it, I think that’s where it went wrong…but it seriously said on the jar that you could use it for cooking.
We’ve got half our Christmas shopping done and some of our banking in order, I ended up getting my first real credit card (that I wont name) and for some reason they only gave me a credit limit of 750……does that mean my credit rating is bad or something?! Perhaps its from that time back at uni when I overdrew my savings account by $20 and instead of paying it I just ignored their letters and let the bank close it or perhaps I filled out the form wrong? Who knows.
We went to the indian place down the road with Andrea and Rhyll last night and it actually wasn’t that bad! Andy likes indian food more than me, who’d have thunk it?
We had an awesome lunch on the weekend with “Thor”, “Squid” and “Morpheous” (I think i got that right?) at the Manly based Ribs and Rump restaurant. Thanks for coming guys, the food was awesome and the company was lovely!
Being the first time we’d ventured to Manly it was actually a nice place to hang out, the beach was a bit overpopulated but nice, after lunch me and Andy took a few steps into the water and then went home hehe. Andy took some pics he’ll put them up.
Wow how cool, hope you are having fun. Andy, did you go horse riding? You havent done that in years!
