We have a visitor from the UK staying with us for a week. Gillian is very familiar with Sydney having lived here on a teacher exchange many years ago, but it had been a while since she had visited the northern beaches....so that is exactly where we went on my day off this week!
Sadly no that is NOT my car, pretty cool huh! It seems there were other people 'crusing the beaches' too!
First stop my favourite coffee shop to visit in Mona Vale... Armchair Collective, with its amazing coffee, tea, milkshakes, treats etc (the list goes on - very yummy place to visit for breakky!)...
Gotta love a bathtub filled with wonderful flowers and plants to purchase..
Lots of yummy treats for sale...ahhh and the homewares are to die for! If you are ever in Mona Vale make sure you stop by for a visit!
We then drove up to Palm Beach driving past lots of wonderful beaches on the way (Newport, Whale Beach and Bungan just to name a few) I had never really noticed befor how the sand changes colour from beach to beach, by the time we had reached Palm Beach the sand is quite an orange colour..
We had a good look around, ooohed and ahhhed at some of the amazing houses then headed on over to The Boathouse for lunch.
Thoroughly enjoyed my roast vegie panini..
Definitely glad I ordered the Chai tea...
Although it was cloudy and overcast the view was still very pleasant...
The flowers on display and ready for sale inside were amazing...
and the putside view pretty good too..
Enroute home we called in to Freshwater (or "Freshie" as we affectionately call it - best beach in the world!!)
Hope you have enjoyed "cruising" with me, I loved showing Gillian our special part of the world xx
Oooooh - I wish I could have been there with you!!
