good wifey....

Ultimately, I'm a good wife. A couple of weeks ago a surprised a certain husband with a surprise trip down the South Coast for a couple of nights get away. (Those of who who are friends with him on Facebook would have seen the status update about me being devious. I resent that.)

The Drawing Rooms at Sunset

It was a proper good surprise as well, I'd packed all his clothes and golf clubs in the car (would have been surf board to but it is currently being repaired as someone may have split the damn thing almost in two) and turned up at his work with the instruction that he had until 4pm to get his shit together. All of his team knew, to which I owe a big thank you to Angela and Ve, and so his week suddenly got very short, and we were on holiday. I'd like to point out that I was incredible ill with flu and a chest infection, so I wasn't at my most appealing, and the drive from the northern beaches into the city was a bit treacherous (lots of young school children to swerve to hit avoid).

I love getting away, even if its just for a couple of days... slowing things down, ambling around a new place...love it.

Now the important things I must mention are:

If you're in Berry and are looking for somewhere nice to stay, The Drawing Rooms are highly recommended. It's up in the hills above Berry, so although it was a beautifully clear morning down below, we had a wicked mist the next morning...eery! Run by Roger and Toni, lovely couple, beautiful grounds, scrummy breakfast and very comfortable rooms.

Spooky!





 

Clearing

For eats, The Hungry Duck is awesome in Berry, modern Asian, run by Aussies...fantastic food and great service.


My next ve-hick-le



A quiet start to the morning at Mollymook beach



The next morning we drove down to Mollymook and spent the day lazing and sleeping on the beach, swimming and absorbing healing UVA &UVB rays. We ate at Rick Steins Bannisters....mmmm...to be honest we we're blown away. Expensive and a little stuffy, but it's been done so; tick, done, let's move on.

Morning Meeting

On the way back we drove the scenic route via the coast, someone got very nostalgic at some tiny little beach he surfed at a long time ago with his boys...ahhh....I've tried to find it on google... Coalsomething?!

A long way up.... spot the surfer and win a prize

That's probably about all from me... big fan of the South Coast, and always good to get away.

Oh yeah and tourist moment... I saw dolphins and my first live Wombat.
