There is nothing better for the soul than a girls weekend away at a beach side retreat.. Okay, retreat might be pushing it, glamping is more like it (it has electricity and hot water, while I am not too much of a princess, no hair dryer or hot shower might be taking it a bit too far for me, especially in the middle of winter).
Arriving later than expected, due to traffic (who knew half of Sydney packed up and headed south on weekends!), as soon as I arrived it was like the weight of the world left my shoulders and I began to relax. The sound of the ocean, the wind whipping through my bones as I walked across the sand, almost at the waters edge, daring it to hit my feet..
Being there with my someone who is like a sister to me, who knows all my secrets and loves me for who I am, was the icing on the cake.. We toasted our weekend with champagne and we laughed out loud, a lot, as we sat around the fire.. It was, quite simply put, heaven..
Saturday saw us explore Berry and even though it was not supposed to be a shopping mecca, in usual form I couldn't resist buying a dress, we ate ice cream and enjoyed the sunshine while people watching. Not sure if we could back up with more champagne, at 6pm we cracked a bottle of bubbly and after a few tentative sips, sat back to enjoy the sound of nothing but the ocean and the overwhelming feeling of peace that surrounds you when you have no where to be and no one to answer to but yourselves.
I think all women need to do it once and a while. I know I will be trying to make it a bi yearly event. I think next time I'll try and extend it to 3 days..
