Not a bad view for a leisurely breakfast on a Sunday morning. We joined my Aunt and other family members (including the bride & groom when they surfaced) for breakfast in the hotels dining room. We were the first to arrive and the last to leave so must have really enjoyed ourselves.

I wasn’t that impressed with my first walk around the buffet. After almost 12 days of buffet breakfasts on the cruise I just wasn’t into it. However the sign by the front entrance had me a little more excited.

Eventually I decided to start with tea (can never go wrong with that) and bircher museli – which I have NEVER had before. I still don’t even know what was in in but I quite enjoyed it and ate about half.

Sometime later I decided on a chef made omelet. Mine had 2 eggs cheese and vegetables and was REALLY lovely.

Towards the end of our two hour breakfast I had another cup of tea and a raspberry muffin. This was sooooo yummy and unfortunately the last one left :-(.

After checking out we headed home, stopping to buy so water as I was in desperate need of something to hydrate me.

We decided to stop for lunch at the Nan Tien Temple for a delicious vegetarian lunch.

Though it was rather cold outside (we were sitting in the shade), lunch did not dissapoint. Amy and I shared a chai tea – but I really didn’t like it much. Kevin’s chai latte was much better :-).

I chose the veggie chow for my lunch. So yummy. I’ve never had anything here I haven’t loved.

And I also had one of Kevin’s dumplings.

Mid afternoon included more tea and a couple of oatmeal raisen cookies.

After a lazy day dinner was an easy one of cheese on toast. So simple, yet so yummy.

Up and at ’em today with a red carpet ready workout, followed by a green smoothie. The best way to start the day if you ask me :-).

Then it was time to pack and get organised for my cousin’s wedding. Amy made us both a sweet bean burrito (mine was wrapped in mountain bread instead of a tortilla) to have in the car, with my morning cup of tea.

We then drove to Manly. It took about 2 hours due to heavy traffic. I had a banana along the way and we arrived in time to join my parents (who had come up yesterday) for lunch. I had vegetarian quiche, salad and half a roll.

We chatted for a bit and then had a cup of tea. I also indugled in an anzac cookie and shortbread.

Then it was time to get ready for the wedding. You can read a full recap here.

There wasn’t much in the way of vegetarian nibblies but I did have one goats cheese tart.

The table was beautifully set.

The meal itself was very uninspired I thought. Being a lacto-ovo vegetarians there are lots of great meal options. Instead I got a salad for entree.

Pasta for the main

and fruit for desert.

It was all rather nice but nothing to rave over. I only ate about half of everything and complimented with a yummy roll.

and Kevin’s ice-cream…

Then there was the wedding cake.

I love the idea of cupcakes and how cakes are personalized these days. Too cute.

What do you think? Here’s the real bride and groom.

The cake was delicous. So fresh and light.

After some dancing I enjoyed a cup of tea and a chocolate.

Definitely had a good nights sleep so felt a lot better this morning. We were running rather behind this morning so I didn’t get my breakfast until after dropping the girls at school. On the menu today – banana on toast and a cup of tea.

I spent the morning getting the house all tidied and organised and in between worked on uploading photos to snapfish. Morning tea was tea and a couple of oatmeal and raisen cookies.

Lunch was a salad featuring egg.

Amy and I had to go into town this afternoon to buy dresses for my cousin’s wedding on Saturday – nothing like leaving it to the last minute. We were successful and stopped by Gloria Jeans on the way home where I got a Iced Chocolate.

When we got home my order from Doorstep Organics had arrived.

This will restock the fridge for sure.

Dinner tonight- pumpkin lasagne (dug out of the freezer) with corn, potato and cauliflower. Hmm.. it all looks very yellow :-).

Supper was a cup of tea and some ginger cream biscuits from the UK.
