Day 16 – Friday 29 December

Another lazy morning, taking it easy with the family & Monica prepared a beautiful morning tea, cinnamon buns for us.  Tereza & I tried the spa & enjoyed the massage jets before jumping in the pool with the boys.  We had a great time in the pool playing around for hours, today it got to 29C, the middle of winter.  Austin didn’t want to get out he was enjoying it so much.  So we ended up having a late lunch.  Late afternoon we went for a walk on the other side of the canal where the builders are just finishing off a new apartment block.  There is still a fair bit of rubbish around from the builders & they are a bit rough around the edges outside, there is a fair bit of damage, its seems they don’t take much care during construction.  However, the overall effect looks good, the designs seem interesting.  There are several stylish bridges crossing the canal, but some of them go nowhere I suppose when it is all finished they will lead somewhere meaningful.  Charles cooked some chips & nice hamburgers with Australian Wagyu beef patties – they were very nice, he also cooked some spicy PORK sausages but Ron & I were too full to try them.  Monica reckons that they aren’t nice like in Australia, but Charles craved for some & he reckons they were not too bad.
