A Day to Ourselves

The previous evening myself and Holly had decided to have some time to ourselves. We were looking forward to spending some time in Toronto, at the Yacht Club overlooking Lake Macquarie.

I spent much of the morning trying to catch up on my blog, which i'd let slip a bit. After lunch myself and Holly were hot enough for us both to decide to have a swim in the pool. It was great to get in there and swim a few lengths.

By the time mid afternoon came round we were ready to go to Toronto. We had a Gelato in the Queen of Tarts before spending a bit of time by the lake in the shade. We then walked to the Yacht Club (via the old victorian station), were we spent a couple of hours before dinner having some drinks while overlooking the lake.




I tried to book a seat in the Yacht Club restaurant but was told that they were fully booked for the evening. Instead we decided to try a nearby restaurant called Hughzies. It was beautiful food but very expensive, particularly when we added a beautiful hunter valley wine (made using old vines) to the bill. The entree was big enough to be a main, so we struggled to finish the main course. Will definitely be bearing that in mind for the future.

Finally, we headed back to the house on foot, stopping to admire the beautiful sunset on the way.
