A quick escape...

It's my birthday soon and my hubby has just told me that we're going to stay on my favourite place on Sydney harbour over the easter long weekend to celebrate! It's a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the harbour with the most exquisite views! It's decked out like an executive bachelor pad with sexy leather lounges and a big flatscreen TV and wireless and foxtel and all that jazz (but we never notice because we're too busy watching the boats go by outside!). The last time we were there was for the New Years Eve fireworks, which if you don't know, run all the way down the harbour and the most spectacular ones are always shot off the harbour bridge. It was soooooo fantastic!

It's right on the water, directly opposite the Opera house and you could jump off the balcony and swim over there if you really wanted!

I can't wait to have a rest and just chill out in such a beautiful spot.

Here are some of the pics I took when we were there previously... I can't wait to go back... Only a few more weeks!

As usual you can click the pics for a larger version
The Sydney Opera House and the city are directly in front of the lounge and dining room windows (which you can see from the bed if you leave the dining room door open)
The Sydney Harbour Bridge
Here's part of the panorama taken on my cruddy cameraphone (scuse my not so great lining-up skills!)

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful future husband... I can't wait to laze around with him for a few days in the lap of luxury!

Are you doing anything nice for the long weekend? What do you prefer to do when you have a few days off... relax or go adventuring?

I love heading to Sydney for a weekend away. We usually go there for an anniversary or birthday :-) Relaxing is my choice! We went for NYE one year and it was pretty amazing. Crazy at the vantage point though!
