So brunch was an early lunch in Kirrawe. It took ages to drive there, no wonder T is always late :).
Despite a last minute change of plans, as we were too late to make it to the original place before it closed, brunch was delicious.
I had a smoked salmon sandwich, and a bowl of chips - I had a craving :). It was delicious, a good combination of flavors and well balanced, and the salty chips were just what I wanted.
E had a grilled chicken burger, that came with it's own chips.
T had grilled fish with rice, it looked really tasty and he didn't share, so it must have tasted as good as it looked.
B had a BLAT, in keeping with his habit lately of ordering that or a BLT if it's on the menu.
Durning the brunch discussion the idea that we hang around it the far reaches of Sydney until T finished cementing his position of favorite uncle and have dinner as well.
We threw around a couple of ideas of what to do to kill time as we waited, there was visit cronulla beach, seeing how different Westfield's were out there and the winning idea - visiting Wollongong.
It was overcast and threatening rain, but that just made for beautiful lighting on our drive. On the way there we went part way on the Grand Drive, through the national park, and the rest of the way on the freeway.
When we got there we weren't quite sure where to go, B found a cafe on his phone, but when we drove down the street it was supposed to be on there was no sign of it.
So we drove down to the beach, passing a few open cafe's on the way and found the missing population of Wollongong by the lighthouse.
It was beautiful there, and we went for a bit of a wander,
but I was craving tea and scones. We walked back into town, passing a few parks on the way, and admiring the beach.
Sadly we didn't find a cafe serving tea and scones, but arguably something better - a waffle house.
During my Europe travels I picked up a taste for well made waffles, they have to be fresh of they're no good. These were fresh.
I had dragon waffles, with strawberry ice cream and fresh strawberries. And a cup of earl grey tea.
E and B shared the ultimate waffles, with choc and vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, strawberries and bananas with caramel and choc sauce, it was awesome and the caramel actually tasted like it had started out life as liquified burnt sugar.
B also had a flat white, which came out in a huge cup - it's hard to see in this pic, but it's about twice as big as a usual coffee cup.
After our snack, we still had a few hrs to kill, so we went the long way back to the car, visiting the beach again along the way.
We went down onto the sand this time, but none of us were wearing suitable shoes, so we took some pics, admired the view and moved back up onto the path.
On the way back to Sutherland for dinner with T went the whole way on the Grand Drive. It was absolutely beautiful. We stopped at one point and took some pics.
The view off the cliff into the water:
Some of the flowers were really bright and pretty:
And the view on the other side of the road, with bonus E:
We met up with T in Sutherland and had Thai for dinner:
Curry puffs and Satay Chicken for entree, the satay chicken was so good, we finished it before we got around to taking a photo:
And three other main dishes, I can't remember what they were, one was duck, ones was prawns and the other one was veg:
We finished them all off - they were all very tasty, although the prawn dish was very spicy:
All in all a very tasty day. With bonus gorgeous scenery from our impromptu day trip.
