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! :)
