Tuesday, March 19th<\/p>\n

Ted and Nina woke up really early\u2014the shore birds like to herald the dawn at about 5:15. Ted went for a long walk through the neighborhoods around here.<\/p>\n

After eating breakfast, Taylor joined us and we drove to the Currumbin Rock Pools<\/a>. \u00a0At least as interesting as the pools was the drive to them, which took us away from the heavily developed coast and up a rural valley. After viewing the pools we continued up the valley to Mount Cougal National Park where we took a short hike. Nina used the time while we were driving to fix a client\u2019s website via her iphone.<\/p>\n

After the hike, we drove around Currumbin until Taylor found us a nice sidewalk caf\u00e9 to eat lunch in. After lunch we returned to our place, and the three women tried out the rooftop spa.<\/p>\n

Many of the restaurants around here are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but Taylor found that the Little Truffle<\/a> was open.\u00a0 She had met the chef-owner early in her stay in Burleigh Heads and had seen him a few times since, as he is a friend of Aaron, the chef at the Fish House. It is a more formal restaurant than hers, and we enjoyed glamorous-looking food, which we\u00a0wouldn’t\u00a0let Nina take pictures of, saying \u00a0she could find pictures on the web site.\u00a0 Well here are the only three: http:\/\/www.littletruffle.com.au\/menu\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
