First up, we caught the Bus from South Coogee to Randwick for our early morning coffee, ahead of watching the New Years edition of Sherlock in the Randwick Ritz.To our surprise (and Alice's absolute delight), we discovered the other day that the BBC Sherlock Victorian special was to be shown in our local cinema. So we had immediately bought tickets. The presentation was on the same screen as Star Wars yesterday (and better attended). And despite reading some...

A strong coffee flavour and slightly on the bitter side. Chilled tap water. The reviewers disagreed slightly; Foxy disliked the flavour and strength, while I enjoyed the strength but not so keen on the aftertaste.I would argue that this is a good coffee for a patisserie - paired with a creamy cake or macaron, this would be absolutely perfect.

Waking up at 6.50, we assembled our pre-prepared picnic from our bnb fridge and popped it into our cool bag. The buses immediately tricked us though, they were on holiday timetables. How very dare they?! Not panick...
