Ormeggio at the Spit, Mosman

In late June, Cheesecake Boy finally went on his sailing experience that he got last Christmas.  However, as I get all sorts of motion sickness I couldn't go along with him, but I was prepared to wait for him for a good three hours as I tried to figure out how to use Cheesecake Boy's new toy to take pictures around Middle Harbour.  Actually, the real reason why I was so willing to wait around was that I have been wanting to go to Ormeggio on the Spit for ages and thought a leisurely lunch after Cheesecake Boy's sailoring adventure would be a great way to ease into the weekend.  Here are some of my shots of Middle Harbour, after it took me an hour to read the manual...

Fourth Village Providore, Mosman

Last Sunday, we went to visit Dumpling Mummy and as per usual, food is involved.  Thankfully, my non-fussy little sibling whom we will now refer to as "Pumpkin Girl" was the only one who came along, so the sky was the limit on food choice for once.  Now, I have had breakfast a few times at Fourth Village Providore and have always enjoyed it, but never lunch.  It was a pretty late lunch, as we arrived at 2.30pm, but they were still accommodated us as there were still many diners there leisurely enjoying their lunches and the atmosphere.

Taronga Zoo, Mosman

This is more of a post on Taronga Zoo as oppose to food, so keep reading if you want a spill about the zoo. Cheesecake Boy and I became Zoo Friends last weekend, much to our excitement.  We got up very early on Sunday to make the trek to Taronga Zoo so that we could beat the crowds.

The main reason for our visit was because we wanted to see the latest baby elephant Tukta, (we are a few months late, but better now than never) her name means doll in Thai but I dubbed her as 'Little Snuffy' when I saw her.  I like to give things my own names, and Cheesecake Boy always indulges me with this, even if it comes across as gibberish at times.  If you think, I grew up with too much Sesame Street, well you aren't wrong.

We get our Zoo Friends membership, and we start our trek.  The zoo definitely has some of the best views in Sydney.  Cheesecake Boy decided that we should only see certain parts of the zoo each time we come so we don't get bored.  I agree with him this time as we need to meet my family for lunch in Neutral Bay a bit later, so an express tour was on the cards.
