HOLIDAYS = BLISS!... My Sydney Adventure Part 1.

I think the title sums it up!

I celebrated the start of my holidays by hopping on a plane to Sydney first thing yesterday morning. Seriously, i couldn't wait to get the hell out of Brisvegas. The last few months have really taken its toll on me and i was beginning to feel like i was burning the candle at both ends. (You know the feeling when you wake up and its like you've been partying all night long you haven't slept in days? Yep, that's been ME!) It was so cool to put on my 'holiday voicemail' and 'out of the office' email message. No work AT ALL this time around...Call someone who gives a shit lol =)

I am feeling SOOOO relaxed being down here, away from all the CHAOS. I wouldn't say i am refreshed yet as i am still quite tired but i have plenty of time to catch up on sleep. Yesterday was pretty chilled out, my aunty (Ex-Hemorrhoid's little sis - the cool one in the family!) and i drove down to Botany Bay and we went for an hours' walk along the beach. Apart from the gale force wind and getting sand-blasted, it was so nice to walk in the water. There's something about the sea, its just so refreshing and even though i was tired i felt like i could walk for hours!

Today we decided to go on a mission. We caught the train to Sydney Harbour:

Then a ferry to Watsons Bay and made our way up to The Gap:

From there we walked along the coastline to Bondi Beach where we had lunch at Icebergs Restaurant. The restaurant is right above the ocean. We got a table on the balcony and couldn't stop gazing at the spectacular view!

After lunch we walked along the cliffs to Coogee Beach. All up about 14km and 3 hours worth of dragging our feet walking. My calves are officially WRECKED but the day out in the beautiful sunshine, inhaling the fresh ocean breeze whilst looking out at the breathtaking coastline was totally worth it. AND I am also now sporting a fabulous tan, woohoo got my glow on just in time for summer!
