Back to Sydney

Hi guys! We got back into Sydney around 4pm after an uneventful drive but thankfully the weather cleared up completely and it was sunny and hot in Sydney when we arrived. We are now staying in Watson’s Bay so made the most of the gorgeous views and had a couple of drinks in the beer garden at the Watson’s Bay Hotel overlooking the harbour. I had 2 small glasses of a New Zealand SB, 3 Ugly Sisters. It was great!

We had an early dinner (no afternoon snack) at Pita Mix. Can you tell we love this place ;) . I stuck with the falafel but this time had it on a plate. It came with 4 salads and 4 dips and a pita. I ended up smushing it all into the pita though ;) so it tasted pretty much the same except the falafel balls were smaller. Delicious and filling!

I also got some steamed veggies as a side. I think they were a frozen veggie mix but they were good and I got my broccoli fix :) .

They were good dipped in the hummos and babaganoush too!

452

Adam got the Jeruselum Mix which was chicken, lamb and beef with the salads and dips and a pita. He loved it too.

It was still early and light out and Watson’s Bay was crazy with tourists when we got back. We decided to be a bit touristy ourselves and went for a walk up to the Gap,

a gorgeous little harbour beach. We will do some more walking about today I think as I really haven’t explored this area before.

More snappy snaps of Watson’s Bay.

Saul and Cath came and met us at the pub for more drinks later on. I had a 3rd small glass of the 3 Ugly Sisters SB and called it a night.

Our room is so nice at this hotel!!! It’s huge, has double showers and a massive Kingsize bed. Sweet! I set my alarm for 6.30am for an early morning run before it gets hot but I ended up snoozing. I obviously needed the sleep.

Breakfast is included in our room here! It is a really nice simple buffet, but since there aren’t many options everything is really fresh and changed regularly.

I had a bowl of All Bran to start (ate half). Then a very thin slice of wholemeal bread with Kraft PB, then a slice of Fruit Toast with a smidge of butter and finally 1/2 a peach and 1/2 a pear with natural greek yog and passionfruit pulp. Very nice!

I didn’t eat the poached egg. Delicious soft, wholemeal bread.

A jam packed day lies ahead. We are meeting Adam’s cousin in Surry Hills for lunch, then I’m shopping with my sisters once they get back from Forster, then we are going to Neil Perry’s new restaurant Spice Temple, with some friends for a late dinner.
