Trip reunion and weekend

We have set the date for the weekend of July 25 and 26. It will a combined meet and greet night with the reunion of the 2007 Morocco group on Friday July 25 at a Moroccan restaurant [TBA]. On Saturday morning we plan to visit Monsalvat in Eltham, [see pics]









after lunch we will travel to Williamstown where there are bay cruises, Scienceworks, cute shops and streets to wander. Saturday July 26 the members of the Greece/Turkey trip will dine at a Greek restaurant in Williamstown [TBA].
As many of us belong to all the groups, it seemed like a good idea to hold it all on the same weekend.
Helen is even going to make the trip from Brisbane for the weekend!! [We have been waiting to secure some cheaper airfares]
Everyone is most welcome and encouraged to join in all the activities for the weekend. Feel free to bring any family/friends along as well to share the fun and trip talk.
It would be great if you could let me know ASAP your numbers what bits you will be attending so we can make bookings.

Streetscape near the gite.

Bourke Street for
the locals !

Cramped quarters !

Having grown up as a farm boy, couldn't help feeling
sorry for the cow near our mountain gite.

Suspicious Minds...

A couple of shady characters last seen lurking in the Sahara and a jedi knight in unfamiliar surroundings.

Essaouira





This was one of my favourite stops on the trip { not just because they had great ice cream! } mostly because it was much more Mediterranean than the other parts of Morocco we visited.

Monet's Beautiful Garden at Giverny




I have long been a fan of Monet's work, so to actually walk through his house and wander around the lily pond and garden was an amazing experience.

Waiting....and waiting...and waiting !!
