Saturday 20 September – Coastrek in training!




Current location: Umina Beach
11.11am, In Woolworths. We were buying a few bits for a picnic, because our friends Chrystal and Marc were on their way to stay at ours for the day/night. When they arrived, we brought them back to ours and then we all drove over to Bouddi National Park, to start a 5km walk through the bush/along the coast. The four of us have signed up for next year's Coastrek, which is a 55km walk along the coast from Palm Beach to Balmoral, so have decided to get training! They're such a cute, fun couple, it's ace to spend some time with them out in the beautiful coastal bushland.

At the end of our walk, we hung out and had a picnic at Little Beach, then went back home to get ready for the evening and stroll through cracking Ettalong Beach (read: not cranking). We ended up at the 'cocktail bar' Toto's (which is a cafe by day) and had a drink there, before going to the newly licensed Box on the Water. It's a great little restaurant that's just opened that is right on the beach (and about a two-minute walk from our house!) so we had a wine there, then went home for beef bourguignon. After dinner, we sat around with some delish wines and played games, until someone (it may well have been me!) suggested Sardines, and then the night got wild! Who knew there were enough hiding places in one house to keep four adults entertained until the early hours.
