Warriewood to North Narrabeen Rock Pool

We had a change of pace this week and walked at night by the light of the 'super moon'. It was spectacular! I don’t usually walk at night but thoroughly enjoyed it and made a note to myself that I should do it more often…..something else to add to the list! The cold air was invigorating and the moon and the stars were just beautiful, in particular the one special star near the Southern Cross named in memory of Christopher.

We started our walk on Garden Street Warriewood, walking through the dog park, across the creek to Namona Street, onto Pittwater Road, through Lake Park then across Ocean Street to Narrabeen Lagoon then down the track to the rock pool. It was amazing  - the tide was huge with the water surging right over the top of the pool and totally filling the mouth of the lagoon. 

As we didn’t  stop anywhere for a coffee on Sunday night  I wasn’t going to do a café review…..but then I remembered our stop for lunch on Saturday on our way to the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival. The Sugar & Spice deli on Edinburgh Road Castlecrag was a great find. Their food is great and coffee even better.  They have fresh daily salads, wraps, pastries, cakes, hot food and all sorts of goodies. Their shelves are full of interesting things including beautifully packaged gift baskets (that sounds like an ad!). If you are looking for a brekkie or lunch stop on your way to the city I would highly recommend this deli.

And by the way, the Mind body Spirit festival was fascinating. There were lots of stands that you would expect such as crystals, cards, physics, healers, lotions, potions and several weight loss stands. Then there were the really bizarre stands that we could not reconcile with the notion of mind, body spirit such as the Max Marxson stand (publicity agent tart)  where you could have a photo taken with him (yes people were actually doing this!) and  the Hurstone Park RSL…..go figure!
