A few weeks ago in mid-October, I celebrated my three year anniversary with my best friend and lover, Otis.
Not being able to travel on a holiday together this year, we decided to take a break from Sydney and make a weekend of it.
We left on a Thursday evening after work, heading out toward the Blue Mountains. It was super hot, and as we drove into the setting sun of the west, we ate Thai and laughed.
The first night we just settled into our room and set in for a good sleep before our adventures began the next day!
On Friday morning, we made pancakes with chocolate and strawberries, which was amazing.
Then we packed our bags and headed off to Jenolan Caves.
Along the path down to the cave entrances, I caught a beautiful Wisteria in the midday sun.
We decided to do the two hour River Cave tour. It provided some of the most sensational and beautiful shapes and images with its narrow paths, beautiful deep cave river which is 22 metres deep and all of the stalacmites and stalactites.
By the time we reached the end of the tour, the sun has dropped, and was catching the afternoon light beautifully. Nature is something truly magical.
To rest our feet after our days adventures, we treated ourselves to a spa and some afternoon snacks! We had the most amazing and tranquil view from our room which accommodated kangaroo and wombat friends as dusk rolled in.
Saturday involved bacon and eggs to get our day started, followed by horse riding and quad biking.
Otis, who is a huge dog lover, quite enjoyed the properties canine residents! We also saw tiny lambs just days old learning to walk, some goats, pigs and cows too!
Dinner was served to our room that evening, as this was our anniversary day. We had Barramundi and ribs followed by Mississippi Mudcake and ice-cream. Needless to say we were full by the end!
As we farewelled our weekend home, we drove past paddocks of horses grazing. We drove back toward Sydney to stop in at the Three Sisters and Wentworth falls on our way home.
I had the best, most relaxed and enjoyable weekend away with the best friend I could ever ask for. We had some great memories and the photos to match!
Enjoy x
