Easter started 13th April Virgin airline flight at 2pm arriving in Sydney at 3:30pm quickly find the train to Wynyard station to meet Kirstie at the Bavarian Beer Garden after work. Caught the bus to Mona Vale, for a quick look around then off to dinner at the Newport hotel.
Good Friday
We started our morning off with a cup of tea out the front of kirstie and Jacks unit,
With a beautiful breakfast made by Kirstie!
Then we went for a walk up to the Mona Vale point for views either sides, a perfect temperature! After Jack went for surf then we did a bit of a tourist drive around the coast stopping at a Bigola beach for a much needed coffee, where Peter met a nice old guy (97) and compared stories. Then we all went to Bigola beach for the afternoon, more surfing and swimming. Peter and Jack wandered down to the cafe and bought lunch for us to share on the beach, which was really yummy!
Saturday the 15th of April
Saturday morning we tried to find where Jack was surfing then went to mitre 10 got a few plumbing supplies, then back to the unit a quick swim and off to Palm beach for lunch at the Boathouse. As Palm beach was very busy with Easter holidays, bit of a que for lunch, kirstie jack and Peter found the perfect spot for lunch.
I waited in the que for at least 45min ordered, sat down and just as the food arrived got a big surprise! Peter said come for a walk down the pier, I was like the lunch had just arrived, Peter insisted and then it all clicked, we where off on a seaplane ride over the northern beaches, perfect day for it blue skies, loved it thank you to Kirstie for organizing it, Peter, Nick and Sam! The lunch at the boathouse was the best seafood platter we have ever had, all fresh produce no fried!
After lunch kirstie and I had a bit of retail therapy around Palm beach then back to Mona Vale for a lie on the beach. Tea back at the unit and an early night.
Sunday 16th of April
This morning had our cuppa out the front of the unit, then went off to the National park for a morning walk to America bay which was really beautiful. We have been so lucky with the weather this Easter, every day blue skies and 25 deg. Next we went down to my favorite little spot The Cottage point kiosk for breakfast and a look at the Cottage point in, before we came back to Mona Vale.
Then jack took us off to a locals only favorite little spot of his, to a little waterfall in warriwood wentlands.
Kirstie and I did a bit of a grocery shop, Then the afternoon was spent chilling on the beach, woken by kirstie to a glass of bubbly!
Peter and I where later dropped off by jack and kirstie at Jonahs on whale beach for dinner just the two of us, which was really nice.
Uber home!
Monday 17th April
Sadly our last day! Peter and I got up early for a walk along the Mona vale beach, watched the local swimming club meet and chat before heading out for their morning swim, Peter swam in the pool before we walked along the beach another perfect day. Walking back we met two hung over kids at the armchair cafe for breakfast which was really nice to, bought myself a tablecloth. Walked back, then went for a drive to check out the caravan park near narribean lakes, for future reference! Then called into warriwood shopping center picked up some groceries for a picnic at Palm beach. We came back packed up the cars and headed down to the Palm beach front beach, got all Jacks beach toys out and had a lovely afternoon! 
Had diner at home and got organized for the week ahead!
Tuesday 18th April
Got up really early to get the first shower, and be on the bus by 7-15am. After a 45 minute bus ride passing the spit bridge and then the Sydney harbour bridge, we got off at Wynyard station and had our goodbye breakfast with kirstie before work. Onto the train to the airport (maybe the wrong one, St. Peter’s station – shit best we get an Uber at 23 lord st/live and learn) made our plane by the last call back to Melbourne.
That was Easter 2017 pretty good one!
