Visits on 15th January

Its been very stormy yesterday & today. It was 40 yesterday & we went shopping mainly to get cool at the shopping center. When we got back the sky opened. Went to great Vietnamese for dinner - by then it had become quite fresh because of wind & rain. Storm knocked out the power just as we got home, so early to bed. Still raining this morning so went to visit art gallery & japenese garden down the road from Carol & Peters. It felt cold which was so strange after heat yesterday. Then we made a tour of local brewery & tried 4 different beers, a gin distillery where we tried gin & liqueur (chocolate liqueur was great) and finished at chocolate shop where we had tea & excellent mint chocolate cake. It was extremely decadent & satisfying afternoon. The rocky road choclate cake in Manly was more gungy. Not sure what is planned for tomorrow?
