Birthday Celebrations
On 10th February 2017 by HelenYesterday was Lucy’s birthday and we had the nicest and quite possibly the hottest day ever. It was meant to be the hottest day Sydney has seen in years reaching max 46 degrees C.
Our day started around 10:30am where myself and friend Charlie met at central station to get the train to Milson Point. We arrived just before 11am and met the birthday girl at Wendy’s Secret Garden. It is truly a hidden gem! It’s a garden cultivated by a widow, she used it as a focus to relieve her grief after the passing of her husband in 1992. It’s just the cutest place ever. There’s picnic tables and resting points and the views are amazing. The flowers and trees are beautiful.
Once we looked around there we went to Watson Bay as Lucy hadn’t been before and we treated ourselves to lunch at the Watson Bay Hotel, which is very beautiful and has a slight Miami vibe to it. I had a poached chicken salad with grains and a side of smashed garlic and rosemary potatoes, Lucy had a cheese burger and Charlie had a pizza. It was delicious but boy was it hot by lunch time we were all slightly dying.
Once lunch was finished we wondered up the cliffs to look at the views before getting the boat back to Circular Quay. At Circular Quay we then got to Wynard before catching a bus back over the bridge (for those of you who know Sydney it was a bit of a tennis match of locations – back and forth, back and forth over the bridge). We stopped at the supermarket got some nibbles before we headed to Cremorne Point to chill out and watch the sun set over the city. Whilst we were sitting there we were treated to a yacht race and got to see some pretty awesome millionaire yachts which were just casually cruising in the harbour.
Once the sun had set we were joined by a few more of Lucy’s friends and we headed to The Oak in Neutral Bay. It’s a really nice pub/bar/hotel which has the prettiest beer garden with Aperol Spritz tents and trees covered in fairy lights. It was the perfect way to finish the day.
Happy Birthday to my bestie Lucy hope you enjoyed your day! X
