He said we were going away for 2 days.
He said it wasn't very far.
He said we would eat out!
And we would go walking.
So here is where we ended up -
Well, not actually in the lighthouse, 'cus that is in use, but in the lovely lighthouse keepers' cottage just a little bit down the hill, but still with spectacular views.
From the back of the cottage we could see this -
(which possibly also includes our house!)
and from the front we could see this -
The next day we were lucky enough to have a tour of the lighthouse with our breakfast chef extraordinaire and host Pat.
Then we walked.
There is a 10 km track through the bush to the gaol at Trial Bay but we just did part of it.
It is a lovely walk, a bit steep going down the track to Green Island lookout but well worth it.
You can see our house from here!
Food-wise it was a mixed bag.
Breakfasts in the B & B were amazing - Whisk and Pin muesli, huge fruit platter and yoghurt, followed by eggs, tomato and toast.
I thought I was going to explode!
We didn't need lunch, but we did manage to fit in late afternoon nibbles and champagne.
Dissappointingly the Boatshed at South West Rocks is closed and no-one knows why.
Being a Wednesday in off-season not much else was open, only the pub and that was, you know....pubby.
Anyway, it was the most special, wonderfully surprising couple of days and I think that G is the bestest person in the world for organising it.
