Pottsville

Well we're back from Pottsville and had two days at work, and then now I have three days off and Stevie has Labour day Monday off, Tuesday and Wednsday off. Holiday!
Pottsville was really lovely, we pretty much ate, swam, watched good dvds and relaxed.
The first night we got there it was quite coolish and we tucked in and watched some good tell. The next day was Anzac day, I woke up at 6.30 am to go to the toilet and there was about 150 people marching with bagpipes and there I was in my hello kitty purple leopard print jammies. Stevie had his first attempt at cooking a bbq, bacon and turkish bread and unfortunatly put the bacon on the grill part which sparked huge flames and a semi fire! Not a good start, to say atleast the bacon was charred was an understatement. We then went for a walk along the river and the beach, the surf was huge that day and stevie perched himself at the end of the rocks with the water going all over him. We got some fish and chips for lunch. That afternoon we watched some good dvd's My cousin Vinny and then made dinner, another bbq but this time it worked out well. We had steak, onions, potatoes and prawns. We got some chocolate mud cake and bannana pecan cake from the local shop and pigged out.
The next morning we had bacon and potato and onions for breakfast, and made a gourmet dinner of roasted marinated vegies on the bbq, prawns, red wine and garlic hamburgers.We had some lovely naps, a great dip in the river, we went at lunchtime on the last day when it was low tide and I bought the large tyre out to float in, stevie went swimming instead. The tide and currents of the water was so fast that I was swept from the mouth of the river right down to the beach, stevie had to hold my legs whilst I was sitting on the bank of the river. Overall it was such a lovely break that we wanted to stay for longer!
