Andy completed his daily workout routine this morning with a 10km run around Hunter Valley, taking in a few wineries for the last time.

We then departed and drove 2hrs south making our way to Palm Beach on the Northern Beaches.

With the sunshine welcoming us back to Northern Sydney, we returned to The Joey on the Barrenjoey Track for a coffee and cake.

With a couple of hours to spare before booking into our hotel in Narrabean, we relaxed on Palm Beach and managed a dip in the ocean for the first time in a week.

After checking into our latest nights stay at the Narrabeen Sands Hotel, we made our way to the beach. It’s one of Australia’s iconic surfing and swimming beaches. Narrabeen is best known for the world famous North Narrabeen break.

Late afternoon we went for a long walk along the beach to The Collaroy for a beer and a bite to eat. It’s a laidback eatery serving freshly shucked oysters, wood-fired pizza with a beachside backdrop and sweeping northerly views across the peninsula.

We found a great spot on the first floor in The Collaroy, where we tucked into hot chips and embraced the beach vibe.

Tomorrow we plan to return to Palm Beach area for brunch at Barrenjoey House where Andy celebrated his 50th birthday. We then move to Church Point for our final nights stay before we move back down to Manly.
