Jonah's

On Saturday, Lucy & I finally managed to enjoy one of our wedding gifts - a stay at Jonah's complete with dinner. As you can see from the view it's a pretty special place, overlooking Whale Beach...the room was lovely & came complete with large balcony & spa pool...whilst the food was excellent - we went for the seafood degustation menu. Lucy & I had a lovely time there - and if we can get a booking we'd try to have another stay before our time here comes to an end - thanks for all those who contributed.

The stay at Jonah's came after a very wet day at the races - Randwick's Easter Carnival. After thinking the day would be called off due to the weather (Sydney's tourism board does a good job keeping that a secret - 3times as much annual rainfall as London) we spent the day inside a marquee...drinking plenty of champagne, eating good food (I was a big fan of the cheese & even asked for a doggy bag!) and losing money on the horses (only had one winner, but fortunately missed the first 4 races!) ...a good time was had by all. I'm sure the talent on show would have raised a few eyebrows in London!

Sunday morning we awoke at dawn for the spectacular ocean view - those living there have it good! Had breakfast at Jonah's (again enjoying the fantastic view) & then went for a walk along the beach (why does heavy rain make the water warmer?) and a drive around the coastal region.... an early night was much needed too.... and I managed to fall asleep whilst watching Star Wars (missing the Sea Eagles 4th win on the trot in the process). Nothing much planned for this week... but Lucy starts her new job on Tuesday - she'll be just around the corner from Citi, so will be nice to meet up for the occasional lunch, etc. Please kill me if we start wearing matching outfits....
