A Weekend at Lake Macquarie

It took ages to finally get out of Sydney and onto the freeway. The traffic was pretty heavy. I guess it's like that most, if not all, weekday evenings during the rush hour so we shouldn't be surprised.

Once on the freeway, the traffic flowed more freely and we arrived at the Caves Beachside Hotel at a bit before 8.30pm. We booked in and then had something to eat and drink before going to our cabin. The food turned up really fast - before each of us had even had time to get a drink from the bar. I had fish and chips and Alicea had a Thai beef salad.

After we had finished eating, went to our cabin, which was really lovely.

There are no internal doors, the toilet and bathroom just have a sort of wall partition to divide them from the bedroom, which is a bit weird. But it is really nice and there are complimentary snacks, breakfast goodies and even a bottle of sparkling wine!
