Already on the way up there on Friday afternoon we had second thoughts due to the horrible traffic conditions. However once there we cheered up a bit. Our hotel was called The Clan and it was situated right on the beach in Terrigal. The receptionist saw that I had a wonky knee and proposed a change of room. We were allocated a comfortable family room on the ground floor with access to the beach with no additional cost. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was top notch, plus hubby could have some wine and not worry about driving afterwards which is normally the case.
The next day was a flurry of visiting different houses and in fact we saw one in particular that we both liked but realised that we couldn't even contemplate. It would have meant spending three hours one way to go to work for hubby and that would just not be possible. Still we had fun up there and enjoyed seeing all the beautiful beaches - Umina beach, Pearl Beach, Ocean Beach, and a few others.
The weather was also very nice over the week-end, not like last week when it actually got up to +38 ° C. Many people spent the whole day in the shopping mall, even going to the beach was too hot.
Can you see the young boy jumping from the bridge? Well it happened when hubby was walking on the bridge to take some photos and approaching these three young boys, the youngest probably just eight and the oldest maybe twelve, one of the boys asked hubby if he had come to jump. When hubby laughed and said "No", the boy said, "Come on, there is still some life left in you. You are not at the end of your days yet". It was such a challenge and hubby might have done it but he had his camera and wallet so he couldn't do it or so he says!
Another challenge that we (hubby) would like to take up is SUP and they even say that you haven't been to Sydney if you haven't tried it.
Have a nice week dear friends!
