Parties and Bike runs




A couple of things this weekend, we were invited to a friends daughters 18th birthday party, which was held at a local pub on Saturday night. We don't get out much of a night with the cafe being open till 9pm, but we did manage to get there before 10pm. There was a wedding party going on at the same time with lots of kids around, which was good as we had Georgia and her friend with us. Georgia's friend is called Katrina and she was staying with us for the weekend. She lives on a yacht in the local marina. When we went to pick her up on Saturday morning, there were a lot of people gathered around and a large police presence. Talking to Katrina's mother, we found out that one of the boat owners had fallen into the marina after returning to her boat after a party, she drowned and the body was being fished out of the water. Anyway we stayed at the party for a couple of hours, the kids had fun running around and new friends were made.


On Sunday the yearly Easter Egg Bike run was held. This is where hundreds of Bikers from all over, gather chocolate eggs to take to the children's ward at the local hospital. The run goes right past the cafe and is good to watch. The main problem with this event is that there are only ever about 6 kids in the children's ward.
