My mum is visiting from the Sunshine Coast this weekend to celebrate her birthday tomorrow (Happy Birthday mum!) and the best thing about having an inter-state visitor, is the opportunity to be a tourist too. Our plans for the weekend include going to the ballet tonight - mum is very excited about seeing a show in the Opera House - then some shopping tomorrow followed by pedicures for both of us, and a delicious dinner at Pazzo on Crown St, Surry Hills. But all mum really wants out of this weekend is to go for a drive, see something new. And there's so many great destinations to choose from! We could travel down the south coast, take the scenic ocean road to Wollongong and over to the blow hole at Kiama. Or perhaps head north and visit Palm Beach. Then, there's always the choice of a day trip to the Blue Moutains or the Hunter Valley too. When you come from a small town, seeing anywhere different is exciting!
The great thing about doing touristy things in your own town is that you get to see it through an outsiders' eyes. Why not try a new restaurant, do a scenic walk you've always thought about doing but never done, visit local attractions (like the aquarium), discover new markets or join a tour bus or boat (they always provide great information)? You'll see a new side to the city!
Have a great weekend : )
