The Wedding Breakfast

On the morning after the wedding, everyone who was still staying on the mountain was invited round to the house where the bride and groom were staying for breakfast. They opened the box that contained the model of the church and everyone admired it.  

Everyone was a bit tired after such an exciting day but it didn't stop us all from eating lots of snags and bacon sandwiches. If you don't know what snags are, ask Year 4. They're learning how to speak Australian!

After breakfast, we all took it easy and had a bit of a rest. Then it was time to enjoy ourselves again because we all met up for dinner at Witches Falls Winery and Brewery. 

Chelsea was feeling a bit sad because her new friend, Maya the flower girl, had gone home to the Gold Coast. 


The next morning, it was time for another big breakfast when we all met up at Delivino's. As you can see, Australians take their breakfast seriously. 

They eat some funny things at breakfast time. They like chopped up avocado on toast and there's sometimes some salad too. 

I think Chelsea was glad to see me because she was still missing Maya. Can you see the water on the table? Whenever you go to a cafe or restaurant in Australia, they have to give you some free water to drink. Thats because the government wants everyone to be healthy. Maybe they should do something about the portion sizes!

Later on, Chelsea and I went for a walk down Gallery Walk with our families. There were lots of interesting shops there. This scarecrow was left over from a scarecrow festival that they have every year. 


Later that evening, we all went to the bride's mum's house for dinner. 

The bride's friends from the Netherlands had hired a camper van and it was parked outside the house. They were ready to drive up to North Queensland the next day. 

It was quite cold that evening and so Grandma had to borrow a shawl. She said it was quite nice to feel a bit chilly for a change! It can get cold on the mountain when the sun goes down because it is so high up. 

Despite the cold, we all admired the view as the sun went down behind the mountains. It was the end of another exciting day. 


Next time I will tell you all about my walk in the rain forest. 


Hooroo!
