Christmas at Apollo Bay

I got back yesterday from Apollo Bay for a relaxing Christmas retreat with Lols, Dite, Ruby and Leah. :)

First day: - The lighthouse, checked-in at our cute country-style accommodation, and Christmas-eve dinner at La Bamba (overlooking the sea).





Second day (Christmas day): - Twelve Apostles Lookout and side-trip to Port Campbell



Panoramic shot by Lols. Beautiful!!






Another Panoramic shot by Lols






This would've been my fourth time in the Twelve Apostles lookout but I really got to appreciate its beauty this time. It always rained during my past visits!

Great weather really does it for me. :)

Lovin' December!

Great weekend! 

A nice stroll around the city on Satrurday with dite and lols (the photog).





Mocha and macarons at Lindt Cafe, Southgate 


at the City Circle tram...



From the city, we went to Enjoy Church to watch the Christmas Carols Spectacular!! The Kingdom is overflowing with amazing talent! Glory be to God!


I invited my cousin, Ate Felizes and family to come and watch as well. :)


A quick photo-op and Thai dinner at Caroline Springs with Leah after Carols.





Church again this morning and then met with friends to see Mission Impossible 2 in Gold Class at Crown :)


Cheska's work gave each of their employees a room at Crown to stay overnight after their Christmas parteyy! How generous is that??








Before wrapping up the day - a lovely dinner with good friends from church, Jon, Janelle and kids at their home :)



First present received for this Christmas - thanks Jon and Janelle! :)
