And This Is Where We Are Going,

Silverlake,


 it is where grapes are grown,

it is beside the Buddha mountain,

this is all new, it looks like a house but I think it will be a series of shops,

a new vineyard has been planted,

more than a few bottles there in a few years time,

this is the artificial part of the lake,

I am guessing the owner is Dutch as I can not see any other reason for a Dutch style windmill,
the tour bus we were on stopped so we could take a few pictures,

three little flowers,

four now,

all in clogs,

we went past lots of hot houses for grapes, but unfortunately it was the wrong time of year for them to be on the vines, not a single one,

the Buddha mountain in the distance,

next stop was one of the flower gardens,

the family made their way to the next place to have their picture taken whilst I took a few shots of the flowers,

then pose by the Silver Lake sign,

strange looking flowers,

there were also plenty of marigolds,

and garden seats,

to have your picture taken on,

under a heart, Ah!

Dioshane, Sandio and Diana,

Donna and Albert,

and of course Diana and myself,

more hot houses being built,

we were now on our way back,

but we had to stop to have a few more pictures taken,

tea for two,

and two for tea as the song goes,

Dioshane tries her hand at painting,

this is a new building on the other side of the road,

next to the restaurant that has been there for a couple of years,

everyone bought a few snacks,

then to the Buddha mountain,

the girls made their way to look at the image,

all laughing and giggling,

then it was back into the truck and we were on our way home,
Sandio decided to have a snooze on the way,

 
 Albert and Donna went to the hotel for a shower and freshen up, when they returned the girls cooked some food,


whilst we watched some Top Gear,

The Challenges, we watched all of the first DVD, great fun, then our guests left and for us we were off to bed.
