MEGALONG AND WINDING ROAD

Still in bat-out-of-lockdown mode, the family went up, went down, went up, went down, went all around the Megalong Valley a.k.a. ah so this is the place we can see there down below from the Blue Mountains.   Beautiful! 

Our google maps itinerary went something like:

⇩  Megalong to a posh, gorgeous winery/b&b

don't get any ideas, sweetie

⇩  ⇧  4-hour hike to/from Cox's River and Bowtell's Swing Bridge

we were as much Ewoks on Endor as Bullock in Bird Box

 ⇿ to another wine estate right besides our B&B

⇿ as in we went "Sideways"

⇧⇧ for the famous Hydro-Majestic Hotel High Tea

 High Tea kasi mataas ang view, ngayon ko lang na gets

⇧⇨⇩⇦ around the Blue Mountains loop to Windyridge Garden

don't get any ideas, sweetie

finally, ↷ home, last directions are BOTTOMS UP

we have reached our destination

JUST AHOPPING ALONG

an AHOP Round-op, if you will

* Acting "Madam"/Actual LLDD-Hyphen-L has Morning Tea at the Governor's House with the Sydney Consular Corps spouses, as one does

* Pay respects at Victory in the Pacific ceremony, as one should

* Judge some Balagtasan and Barong, some dance and some 'dobo, because Buwan ng Wika

* Join Southeast Asian missions in Sydney Lord Mayor's reception (but fail to get consensus on the ASEAN arm-link thing)

* And 10 years and 10,000 miles apart, I continue to have More Fun on the wrong side of Her Majesty's roads

an AHOP never forgets where he came from
