1st December - My 42nd Birthday
Woke up late, in Crown Towers. The room was dark, and then we opened the curtains and there was LIGHT.
Dressed, then a way too large breakfast at the Crystal Club.
Then we changed and went down to the pool, and sat there and read for a couple of hours.
This was followed by High Tea at The Waiting Room, the cocktails commenced. Then back to the room where I slept for a couple of hours.
Then down to the Crystal Club while waiting for our date to arrive. Enjoyed oysters, cocktails and cheese.
I am sitting there now and I have to say I have eaten more in the last three days than I normally do in a week. Still I am eating less than I used to a year ago, but I am on holidays so "diet be damned".
The whole experience at Crown Towers has been wonderful. This is a weekend away we could get used to; though even with the new job it would maybe be a twice a year thing.
Other things we have done.
Went to dinner with Andrew and Emily on Thursday, to celebrate the three birthdays in the group this weekend. Good food, the Mana Bar was a disappointment.
Yesterday I did a couple of walks through the city, and went out for an amazing dinner.
Rockpool is amazingly good. The food is expensive, but stunning. The $115 200g Wagyu beef steak Fraerie ordered was the best slab o' dead animal I can remember eating. The side dishes were very good, and the service was exemplary. Highly recommended to people who are dining with a high budget.
I have been to the Casino twice. The first time I won $50 on the poker machines. The second time Fraerie lost $100 on Blackjack and then we lost $150 on the Pokies. Fun was had.
There has been lots of lounging, lots of time in the Crystal Club enjoying cocktails and snacks, lots of sleeping and a fair amount of sex.
And this evening hasn't started yet.
