Image via WikipediaWe managed to get out of the city yesterday - put some fuel in the car (did you know UL 95 is now 13c more than plain unleaded! When we moved here in 2006 it was only 4cents more expensive.), and made our way up to the F3/M1)First stop - Ettalong Beach - home of 'the largest covered market on the Central Coast'. It didn't disapoint being even more tacky and lame than I could ever have imagined. Fair enough we are in the 2nd part of the GFC, and middle of winter, but please!
So out of Ettalong Beach (avoiding the Ettalong Beach Mantra Hotel - looking particularly out of place), and off to Pearl Beach, passing through Umina on way.
Pearl Beach is nice, quiet, end of the road. There is a restaurant, cafe and a kiddy park.
As it started to rain, we packed up and drove to Patonga - but didn't stop.
The plan was then to go back home via Umina for coffee/milkshakes, but having looked quite busy and vibrant on the way in, now in the rain and later afternoon, it looked a little dull and dead. So back to Pearl Beach and the cafe.
Filled up on coffee and milkshake, time to get back into the car for the journey home. Callum to advantage of this to have a little sleep. Amelia was just quiet.
Once home, a quick use of the hoover to remove the excess beach that had come back with us, and time to watch Nemo on the TV.
