I so love the Squirrel. Its so cosy and inviting. It's great for a romantic dinner or catching up with mates for vino after a long day and some tasty tapas. They have a great selection of wine and beers and lots of yummy tapas options to go with, whether your hungry like a hippo or just need a little snack there is something for everyone.

Friends have raved about the Pizza from Blue's Point and said they were a MUST try and I must say we were not disappointed. We ordered the Blues Point Special and a Garlic Bread to take away. The pizza was ready for collection in 10 mins, which was great news as I was starving. The pizza smelt fabulous and was a taste sensation in the mouth, the only trouble was resisting the urge to eat the whole thing.

This public garden by Brett Whiteley's old house is one of Sydney's hidden treasures. I've always wandered past without venturing in and it was only recently I ventured in and was amazed at how big and stunning it was. The garden is beautifully cared for and has a very magical feel as you wander along the various paths. There are a number of tables scattered throughout the garden, making it a great location to bring a packed lunch and enjoy a picnic with friends.

The staff down at Bondi Ink are incredibly friendly and down to earth. I thought the place may have a bit of attitude being on Campbell parade and the name and all but they are just the sweetest and lovely people. They really want to work with you to ensue that you get the results you want. The guy I saw was called 'Nico' he's french with great tats and an easy going attitude. I only had a touch up done but I have to say I am wowed with the results.
