Book hotel 11.30 after breakfast on last minute on 11th November. Tiago booked a secret hotel 4.5 star so only find out after we had booked we where staying. We got the Novotel north beach at Wollongong which looked nice had gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi and on the beach front. Rest off day I had my eyebrows done and buy alcohol whilst Tiago did some more work on his exam. Left ours at 2 and took us an hour & half to go get hotel which was right beach, lovely just a shame about the clouds. Once checked in we then realised not eaten since breakfast so sat on balcony have some wine whilst looking for restaurants to eat at. Luckily our room gave an amazing view off the beach which was still beautiful even if there was no sun. Ended up deciding to go to Outback Steakhouse now as get free blooming onions free but we got there and realised it didn't open til 5 and we were there 4.15. So decided didn't really fancy McDonald's, Subway or Hungry Jacks which was also on this complex. Ended up going to Coles which we had passed on the way to get some food for later just got crackers, cheese and dip. Then still back at outback 4.50 but at least didn't have to wait to long and by end was very full since had starter and main course. Back at hotel after 6 have a glass off dessert wine which was ok but not as good as the one we got from Centennial winery. It was then to the jacuzzi which was lovely and warm and at least lasted longer than one at bowral hotel. Also at another good thing was that the button to restart was in reach so didn't have to get out to restart. The outdoor pool was supposedly heated but when tested was ice cold so didn't bother going. Only ended up going in jacuzzi as there was a sauna but in individual Male or female changing area. So was no point going in as would want to go in together not separately and was a little gym but bought no gym stuff. Got back to room 7.30 shower and then go downstairs for cocktail we both had capriskco which wasn't the best was overpriced for what it was. I still need to get Tiago to make me one at some point since its a brazilian drink with cachaca which we have at home. Only ended up having one drink then went back to room to finish red wine with cheese and crackers. In the morning after checking out drove along Wollongong beachfront in the hope of finding a cafe there. But unfortuantely was none, so ended up going to Wollongong centre to find a cafe for breakfast found one. Which we didn't end up going to as was put off with people outside smoking so went abit further to the big shopping centre. We're we just went to a little cafe for banana bread and coffee as did breakfast but nothing we fancied. Was a few shops was tempted to look round then but I resisted as didn't think Tiago would want to. When we got back to the car and started driving realised that there was a little cafe the other direction we walked not far from where we were parked typical. Got back to Sydney after 2pm and then Tiago had to finish his exam and submit it.
