new in town
here we are in newcastle.
we left home at about midday yesterday
it wasn't long until oscar was making his own fun
we took the charlestown exit, without really realising, until we were on it, that it was the scenic route. ah well. we journeyed up the pacific highway through various towns to our first hotel stop to pick up the key to our apartment.
and here we are in georgetown. it's pretty nice on the inside. pretty not on the outside.
and there were complimentary items in the fridge
after oscar had a feed and a nap, we headed to the local shops.
where it seems it is christmas all year round
curious as to the presence of excessive Christmas lights, i looked them up on the web. wow.
we also went briefly into newcastle information centre to get a magnet, of course. i'd forgotten how derelict newcastle looks - all the empty stores in hunter street etc. but erica told me this morning about renew newcastle which we might try and check out this morning.
in other news, we are actually up here for a wedding. and about 15 minutes out of newcastle, howie said to me "you remembered the present yeh"... NO I DID NOT! so that's a bit of a shame. that's one of two things that i know i've forgotten. that will teach me not to make a list!
