Kiama Jazz Festival

It was a splendid weekend of Jazz in Kiama on the weekend. We drove down Friday night and stayed at the Bellevue B&B which is a heritage home built in late 1800's and has been restored. It sat up on a hill overlooking the main town and across the road from the little mining cottages.


Friday night was a bistro meal at the local Leagues club - nothing to write about here. We then headed to a pub for a couple of drinks and back home.


Saturday was a glorious day with blue skys and the sea sparkled in the sunlight. We took a walk to the blowhole which I had not been to in many many years. It hasn't changed a bit. I was left curious though if the actual hole had grown in the past years. There was no great show at the blow hole as the sea was so calm.


Saturday night we headed off to dinner at Go Heat, a wood fire pizza place for some fine entertainment by Jan Preston who played her piano and some great old boggie woogie hits of the 40's and 50's and many covers of the old great blues hereos. I was in heaven and enjoyed it immensley. Phil survived quite well and tried to enjoy it as much as he could.


Sunday was meant to be a trip to the air show in Albion Park, however, I was not so popular with the husband when we realised I had the days wrong and that it in fact had been on the Saturday. Anyway, it meant sitting in the park and listening to some live jazz in the park.
Well - at least I was a happy gal.
