The George

A friend was telling us about The George, of the amazing views, great coffee and food.  So we decided we needed to check it out for ourselves, and we weren't disappointed.   The day started off with a gorgeous sunrise, so we knew it was going to be a lovely day for a Spyder ride.

Gorgeous sunrise this morning.

We left home at 10.30am and the sun shimmering on the water.
