Lorne

Last weeekend, Gable treated us to a weekend away. We stayed in Lorne at the Cumberland (my choice). We left on Friday afternoon at 3pm. We collected Alan from Flagstaff Gardens as he had a work function in the city. It was a pleasant drive to Lorne; however we encountered some peak hour traffic in Geelong. We arrived at the hotel by 6pm. Alan and I went exploring and had a drink at a restaurant at the bottom of the main strip. We sourced a place for dinner and went back to the hotel to get Gable. Sat was cool and overcast. Not exactly the day for sunbaking on the beach. So we saw a movie instead, Mrs Henderson Presents. We had a late dinner at Marks Restaurant (very noisey and slow service). Sunday was very hot, so we managed to spend an hour or so on the beach enjoying the Lifesaving competitions before heading home. Attached is a photo from our balcony of Lorne Beach.
Gable is enroute to Cairns today before continuing his trip to Brisbane and Sydney. This is the last time we'll see him before he 'moves' here...
