Anyone out and about around Brunswick St Saturday

After visiting the Tassie ferry I headed into Brunswick St for dinner at the Retro and wandered down to the Latin Festival.

Saw so many nice VW's around and had a really sweet kombi park behind Dr Livingston.

Often wonder if any of the VW's I see are from the forum (?)

It can be Vee Dubb spotting heaven down there :kiss

YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME !!

o'well, i did want to go but the 5 minute drive sounded daunting :)

i forgot to see a friend who was working there, and yes i see many a dub when i am there, some real sweet ones too :)

I sort of didn't plan on going there, and didn't have your phone number on me. Next time I plan to head down there I'll call you.

Where does you friend work? The staff at Retro are great, I love it there:thumb

Had Bob the dog with me. The waiter brought out a very large stainless steel dog bowl and poured him a bottle of water:)

Had forgotten the festival was on and thought Brunswick St looked busy even for a Sat. night, as I turned into it.

Bob loves going out, he gets lots of pats and attention. One guy gave him his paella which he said he couldn't finish warning me that it may be too hot (as in spicy) but Bob has been bred on my curries. He was one spoilt boy!!

They had some excellent live Cuban music happening on the stage. Pity Bob can't dance, he just wanted to fall asleep and get the occasional pat :)

Honestly though there are always some nice original looking VW's around there.

I love to shop along there, well mainly browse unless I see something I really can't resist. Some of the shops do have the best stuff, and different :thumb

Love a late long Sunday breakfast and then a wander:kiss

Jen, your letting out the secret....SSSSSHHHHH, dont tell anyone ;)

Jo and I go there at least once a week in the warmer months. Good place for lunch or just a coffee, great B'fast menu and always good for the music. The Hotty Notch gets to cruise down there once a month or so to keep the faith.

I was going to organize a 2nd B'fast run soon and the Retro was on the drawing board for this event, might see if we can go in the new year.

Cheers

Sorry for letting the cat out of the bag LOL

I'll be in that breakfast!!:D

Was there again last night after picking Bel up from Epping and on the way to check out Altona.

Gave Bel a run and timed the run between my place and the reserve. Haven't been over that way for a long time. So glad they have reopened the roads around Docklands, it makes getting onto the bridge more staight forward, avoiding the city. Sweet, only 1 hour from Croydon.:thumb
