Day 15 - The Lake

To-day we are going to ‘The Lake’ I have heard so much about. To those of you who have been it needs no other introduction than “The Lake, however for the rest of you this is a house on Lake Macquarie which David and Margie own and have had many visitors there with all their children’s friends over the years, a very popular week-end retreat for having fun on the water and of course barbecues.

David and Margie had already arrived when we finally landed, we had a very leisurely start. First call shopping for supplies, fish and chip lunch. (I just cannot believe the fish shops here in Australia, takes you ten minutes just to order, 15 different choices of fish, 3 ways to cook them, and then what size box of chips do you want!!!! And you can’t even get scraps)

The lake is such a peaceful setting, not many other occupants seem to be around and even
Chalky was quiet. The order of the day was RELAXATION. We took photographs, had a short walk then just relaxed over drinks and supper. The supper was kindly made by Bek, We finished the evening off with a slideshow on the TV of the photo’s from the wedding etc unfortunately David missed these as he had already retired.

I was given the main bedroom at the front, so I could catch the view of the lake in the morning sunlight. This was very much appreciated and many thanks again to Margie and David for their kind hospitality.
