We woke up at 8am, but took it easy for the morning, leaving around midday for Gosford and the reptile park. Sue had given us an entertainment book voucher, and so we got two-for-one tickets, which was most welcome. We parked in the sun, got our gear together, and went inside.
Just inside the entrance, we were met with a woman who was holding a dwarf bearded dragon, which I patted, and Christian held for a time. He was awesome. We went to see the aligator feeding, then the Tasmanian devil show, and then went around the exhibits, getting some lunch through the day. Christian made good use of the GoPro, both photographically and videographically. Turns out it's a good way to get animal videos - holding it on the end of a pole. It was a good day, though Christian got hungry and hot and was a bit uncomfortable for a while. I was disappointed that it was too hot for the kangaroos to be out and about, so Christian still believed them to be a 'marketing ploy'.
We left there at about 3.30, after a slushie, and headed back to Coal Point, which meant we got some time to relax and have a shower before going back out again.
We headed out again at 6pm to meet Clint and Jess in Warners Bay at 6.30. We took our seats in Brown Sugar, which was pleasantly swish, and had an impressive menu. I was feeling a bit uncomfortable, because my left ear still hadn't cleared from diving the day before, and I had trouble hearing. It was also slightly difficult to see, as the sun was pelting through the window at us, and the blind wasn't really doing a very good job of filtering it. We had three very good courses - mine were octopus salad, kangaroo loin (yes it was revenge for not seeing any that day), and a chocolate pudding. I didn't drink as I'd offered to drive, and strangely, I felt like it took away from the meal. It was a lovely evening, though, and great to catch up with Clint and Jess. The bill came to $90 a head, and I was a bit uneasy about that, even though it had been extremely good.
On the way downstairs from the restaurant, I managed to break my third pair of old Coal Point shoes. I think I've probably learned my lesson now. We headed home and to bed.
