Beechworth - 2014

Another long weekend, another get away. This time we took the van

We went back to Beechworth however this time we did not plan to do any fossicking. Whilst there we stayed in a new caravan park, or at least one we had not been to before, the Beechworth Holiday Park. The park turned out to be as good choice and we enjoyed our stay there.

Whilst doing the normal Beechworth type things (bakery) we also went along to the Ghost Tours run at the local Lunatic Asylum. Wow, what a great night we had. I would highly recommend it. We also visited a local Strawberry farm returning to the van to eat them.

Queretaro Mexico

 

With my new job I will be fortunate enough to do some traveling to other countries. One of the main ones, where we have a second production facility, is in Queretaro, Mexico.

I was lucky enough to have my first visit in May this year.Although i was there for work the three week visit encompassed two weekends where i was able to get out and explore this amazing city.

I enjoyed some amazing food, including grass hoppers, met some very welcoming people, and was fascinated by the disparity seen in city/rural life
