Another day out
with Cerys, this time we were going to meet Bridget and Nigel for lunch in
Double Bay, so our route began the same as yesterday except that when we got to
Circular Quay we were to get a second ferry to Double Bay. Unfortunately, in my haste, I got us on the
wrong ferry and we ended up in Rose Bay.
There was no ferry service available between Rose Bay and Double Bay, so
we got a taxi instead.

At Double bay we had a walk along the small beach before heading up to their hotel, The Inter-Continental.
After a little walk we found the Hotel. We were earlier than anticipated but we went inside anyway.
I sat Cerys down and got us some drinks in the Stillery bar of the hotel. I then rang Nigel and he came down to meet us.
He took us up to
the roof top bar where Bridget was sun bathing alongside the swimming pool. We
had a few more drinks here sat around the open-air bar and Cerys sat dangling
her feet in the water. It was such a pity, if I had known about this I would
have brought Cerys’s swimmers, she so wanted to swim in the pool. Maybe next
time.
I have to say
the view of the harbour from up here was amazing.
Bridget and
Nigel then went to get ready and Cerys and I waited in the hotel lobby for
them. When they came down we got a taxi
back to Rose Bay, so we could dine at Catalina, my favourite restaurant in
Sydney.
The meal was amazing,
and Cerys behaved impeccably while demolishing a bowl of pasta in a delicious
tomato sauce. It was[i] served
with a bowl of grated parmesan by the side and when the waiter collected her
plate he noticed her eating the Parmesan with a spoon, so he told her he would
leave it with her, so she could have some more.
She then proceeded to eat the lot and sent back an empty bowl!!
I had persuaded
Nigel to try their oyster in a lime and chili dressing with flying fish
caviar. He agreed that they were the
best he had ever tasted.
After the meal,
we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, they on foot around the
headland and we on a ferry back to Circular Quay.
A great day out. Now home to pack, tomorrow I am off to the Gold Coast.
