Blue Mountains - Mountain Heritage Hotel

Just spent the weekend away on a relaxing pamper trip with Peter to the Blue Mountains. We stayed at the Mountain Heritage Hotel on a "Divine" package deal. It included: 1hr Massage session, Spa/View room accommodation, buffet breakkie, champagne/strawberries/choccies on arrival, spa bath bliss package and a cocktail each. It was so great!! I feel so relaxed now - exactly what I needed!!

We also went to the Blue Mountains "Scenic World" - where we got to ride the railway (which is the steepest incline railway in the world!!) and see the view from a cable car. Very touristy ;)



We drove up for another 30min to visit a "Carnivorous Plants" display on at the Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens and were bitterly disappointed as we missed the information session and the plants weren't even that great. Ok, so to be honest, I expected large moving sized plants munching away at meat - but I guess not.... haha!
P.S. The lack of original photos from my camera was due to my battery pack failing out on me 1 hour into the trip *sighs*.

Chris, Zena, Peter and I also tried out a new Jap restaurant on Sat night that was recommended by a friend from work. "Sakana-Ya"! We had: Sake, Chicken skewers, deep fried chicken, nimono-style swordfish belly, smoked salmon/salmon roe/challots on a bed of rice, Barasushi (fresh sushimi, fish roe.... on a bed of rice), green tea pudding/green tea icecream/japanese dumpling filled with sweet red bean. Our dinner in pictures...


Hope everyone is making an effort to take time out for yourselves and enjoy life!

*Hugs*
