I'm home again
We had a great time in Volcano, although I really would have liked one more full day there. It went by WAY too quick this time. Friday we started driving around 12:30 and hit no traffic at all. The whole time we were chanting "Meat Pies! Meat Pies!" and couldn't wait to get there and have lunch. We arrived at 2:45 and right away went to Humble Pies - but they were closed! For a funeral! We were really happy it was only closed on Friday. So we just went to the Saloon instead and had the best Bloody Marys EVER and their huge chicken quesadillas. We checked into our room about 4pm after another Bloody Mary for each of us, and had some cheese and crackers and peppered salami that we had brought with us. That evening we went to the Cobblestone Theatre (about 20 steps from the hotel) to see "The Man with the Plastic Sandwich". It was okay, but it's always a good time to just walk to the theater and see a show. The next day we went to Humble Pies for breakfast and had sausage rolls, meat pies, quiche and coffee. Scott actually wanted PIE after that! So we tried their cranberrie nut pie (YUM) and the pineapple macadamia nut, which we already knew was delicious. We decided to order some pies to take home with us on Sunday. We spent the rest of the day walking around town and reading on our balcony. We went back to the Saloon for Bloody Marys and lunch (fish tacos for me, a philly sandwich for Scott), made dinner reservations at the restaurant, and took a nap. Then, back to the Saloon for martinis (with Hangar One vodka, we didn't like them) and then dinner in the hotel restaurant. Braised oxtail for appetizer, salad, crab and shrimp raviolis for Scott and herbed chicken and rice for me. With wine of course. Then back to our room to watch a movie on my laptop (no TVs in the Bed & Breakfast) and went to bed. Or... actually I think maybe we watched the movie before we went to dinner. I think after dinner we walked around town again and then went to bed. Sunday we woke up, had breakfast in the restaurant and took another walk. Picked up our pies, fresh from the oven (3 Nut Pie for Scott, Apple and Cranberrie Nut for me), and drove home. We got home around 2:45pm. It was a very nice, relaxing weekend. I can't wait to go back again. Posted by Pischina at November 10, 2008 7:32 AMComments
Too bad you guys can never find anywhere decent to eat while on vacation ... so sad. Hee Hee - glad you had so much fun, and my mouth is watering just reading about all of it. Posted by: leslie at November 10, 2008 4:13 PMYeah, I didn't realize how heavy on the food items this post was, HAHAHA. But yeah, we go there to relax, eat good food, drink good drink, and relax. So there was a whole lot of all that, and also a whole lot of that stuff you do in your room and don't talk about. You know. I have to add, they have some really great beds there. sounds just wonderful.......what a great birthday weekend (and week) you had! Posted by: catherine at November 10, 2008 8:24 PMHappy birthday!
