Today’s last minute itinarary took me to Watson’s Bay. Woke up late, nuah-ed in the bed for quite some time, glued my eyes to the internet… etc. By the time I got out of the house, it was already past 1pm. Figured no point going to Fish market, so I decided on Watson’s Bay.

 

The last time I went there, I didn’t even know the cliff was right behind me, thinking there’s nothing, I took a bus back. This time round, abit smarter, I did some research and found photos, so I know what to expect. But then, as usual, the topo king in me struck again. Instead of alighting at Watson’s Bay by ferry, I got off at Double Bay instead. Realised I made a mistake only when the ferry left. Damn, spent another hour sitting by the beach area, admiring the expensive houses that lined the beach area. I remembered mentally pointing to one of the houses… “I want my office THERE!”:P

 

Finally I got to Watson’s Bay, thinking I can have late lunch at Doyles, but lunch is only till 3pm. So I went on with my walk round The Gap national park. Luckily I put on some weight over the past few weeks, else the wind would’ve blown me out to the Pacific ocean. Walking along the trail reminds me of the Great Ocean Road (sama sama… all rocks and cliff:P). Started raining when I thought the light was the nicest. Screw the nice light, I went for some of the best grilled fish I’ve had at Doyles. It’s expensive, but it’s worth it. Check the portion before ordering… although I finished everything, but I think it’s for 2 pax. They even have their own beer! Which, imho, is pretty good.

 

Generally, photo opportunity not that great at the Gap’s trail because of all the protective barriers, and being vertically challenged (as what Mr. Brown would put it), I found it really difficult to get some decent angles. Anyway, here are some of my takes today.

 

View from The Gap. Like our NDP floating platform?

 

Beachfront view, taken just outside Doyles. With this kind of view, how not to be expensive (the houses)?
