Almost Over...

Tomorrow's the start of a new week, and it's been an enjoyable 4-day break :) On Friday my wife and I were invited to stay over at a villa at Pacific Harbour (by the parents of one of our friends). It was a totally relaxing stay... all I did was eat, sleep and swim. The weather was bright and sunny, and the pool water was cold - a great combination! After swimming I'd take a nap in the lounge chair and then it would be time for lunch. And on Saturday morning we went for a walk around the suburbs. There're a lot of empty lots just waiting to be purchased and have villas or houses built there, and a quite a few little streets just sitting empty, without any houses whatsoever there. Some villas were halfway built; apparently their owners ran out of money to complete the construction. A great place to get away on the weekends if you had your own place there (and the cash to build or buy it!).

I couldn't leave without a visit to my favourite place in Pac Harbour, ParadICE (which sells fruity drink combos and ice creams), so before we left, we paid a visit there. The frozen yoghurt was good, as always, but I bought a black pearl tea (sour lychee flavour) which wasn't that good at all. It was full of ice (which it shouldn't be) and the flavour... was actually mango! Their black pearl teas must have been a new addition and maybe they're still getting used to making it, but I think I'd rather stick to the ones I can buy at Easyway in Australia.
