It's our last night here tonight- so our last chance of free pub food! :-)
Arrived late last Saturday night. On Sunday we walked into town, around some small markets, enjoyed a coffee and hot choc and shared a calorie-free chocolate brownie. We then made our way to Newcastle Regional Art Gallery.
In the afternoon we went for a swim in the Ocean Baths- freezing but lovely. Free pub food in the evening.
On Monday we headed to the Hunter Valley on a wine tour. Weather gorgeous. The wineries we visited included- Mount Pleasant, McGuigan Wines, Brokenwood, Audrey Wilkinson, Rosemount (my favourite!) and Drayton's. We also stopped at the Hunter Valley Cheese Company and Olive Centre. It was great to taste some of the different wines and enjoy the cheeses. Had our picnic lunch at the Hunter Valley Gardens Village. A great day.
Free pub food and pool competition in the evening.
Today we went on a tour to Port Stephens. Walked a VERY steep 1k to the top of Tamoree Lookout- stunning views across Nelson Bay. Had a paddle in the sea afterwards to cool down.
After lunch, we headed to Anna Bay to do some 'sandboarding'. Absolutely awesome! Zipping down the sand on skateboards, the sand stinging your skin...really exhilarating. :-)
Just about to head down to the pub for our food and quiz night.
Off to Sydney tomorrow.......

Hiya
Found the Port M pix in my Bulk store, they don't normally end up here so I missed them (they are on the blog now). I haven't received any Newcastle pix tho'.
Take care

Has been great catching up with the blog and seeing all the photos of you both. You are both looking well.
What with all the walking and other exercise you're both doing I expect you'll be a size 0 by the time you come home!
I would have loved to have visited the koalas with you.
Take care of yourselves Ang x
You both look to be having loads fun, hope you managed sand boarding better than I, I couldn't stand up.
I'm leaving NZ tomorrow and arrive in LA 6 hours before I set off. Time travel will be fun.
NZ was amazing, the scenery is fantastic, well you can check out my blog for all that.
Carry on having fun
