Sidney’den Central Coast’a Kactik!/Central Coast Get Away!
Gecen yil baslayan ve bitmek tukenmek bilmeyen Covid muhabbetiyle, belirsizliklerle, karantinalarla bogustugumuz, yerimizden kipirdayamadigimiz icin, karantina kurallari biraz gevseyince Sidney’in kuzeyinde yer alan yaklasik 45 dk- 1 saat mesafedeki Central Coast’a ekim ayinin ortalarinda gidip az da olsa soluklanalim istedik.
Airbnb’den at ciftliklerinin hemen yamacinda, cebimize de uygun bir yer bulur bulmaz yola koyulduk. Sabahlari o yemyesil manzaraya horoz ve at sesleriyle uyanmak, cimlere yayilip muzigimizi dinlemek, merkezde birkac guzel yeme icme mekani bulup, gonlumuzce hareket etmek, evde yorulmus bunyemize bir iyi geldi ki!

Last year was all about Covid-19, quarantines, new rules and uncertainties. So as soon as we found a suitable place and time for us we decided to leave Sydney over the weekend in mid October. Central Coast was offering a farm house stay and sunny days that weekend. So we jumped in the opportunity without thinking twice!
The view from where we stayed. Good Morning The World!
Bizi evin tatli kopegi “Sofie” karsiladi kapidan girer girmez. Inanilmaz zeki, sessiz ama is oyuna gelince hakkini iyi veren bir balli lokma. Bayila bayila oyunlar oynadik, tepistik cimlerde bol bol!

Guess who welcomed us? The cutest homeowner “Sofie”! We played with her for hours every day. She was an incredible remedy for all tiredness.
I made her tired from playing too much!
Kahvalti...Burada iki yer keşfettik ilki benim yol uzerine gorup denemek istediğim “Modern Organic” burasi ayni zamanda bir yoga stüdyosu. Bu sebeple her kafede bulunan kahvaltiliklarin disinda hatri sayilir derecede saglikli, yaratici ve sahane gozuken yemekleri var. Smoothie bowllari, Charcoal ya da Red Velvet gibi ilginc tatlarda latteleri seçim yapma konusunda epey bir zorluyor.
Diger bir mekan “ The Green Tangerine”di. Yine egg rolllari ve kahveleri lezzetli bir artizan firin olan bu mekani da kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.
Bunun haricinde bu iki mekanin bulundugu kesisme noktasinda birkac kucuk antikaci dukkani, butikler dikkat cekiyor. Buralara da seviliyorsa goz gezdirmenin faydasi var, ben cocukluk oyuncaklarimdan birinin aynisini buldum mesela!

Breakfast… We discovered two really nice eateries here for brekky. First of them was “ Modern Organic”. This place has delicious, filling and creative smoothie bowls, interesting and tempting latte types and more. They also offer yoga classes in their studio. Can we even ask for more? Clean food, peaceful mood!
The second place was “ The Green Tangerine” , an artisan bakery where bacon & egg rolls and coffees are made really good! I definitely recommend it here too.
I also realised there are few beautiful places to shop antiques or coastal/bohem style clothing. Worth to check!
Oradayken daha cok kaldigimizin evin guzel yesil alaninda vakit gecirmek istedigimiz ve sadece iki günümüz oldugu icin Long Jetti ve Avoca Beach yuruyusleri yaptik.

Because we only had two nights there we wanted to enjoy the view of the house we stayed in. We went for a walk to Long Jetty and Avoca Beach. I especially found Long Jetty peaceful.
Evin o guzel bahcesinden peynir tabaksiz, sarapsiz ve Sofie’yle kaliteli vakit harcamadan asla ayrilamazdik.

We wouldn’t leave without having enough time with Sofie, and having wine & cheese platter in that magical garden!
Giderken ev sahibinden bahcedeki tavuklarinin yumurtalarindan ve bazi taze otlardan almak istedigimi soyledim, buyuk bir nezaketle ne kadar istersem alabilecegimi soyledi. Central Coast’a bir nebze ferahlamis iki yorgun zihinle, biraz taze yumurta biraz da mis kokulu otla veda ettik.

As we were leaving I asked the owner if I can get some of the fresh herbs and eggs from their own chickens. He was kind enough to say I can have as much as I want.
We left there having clearer minds, with some fresh eggs and beautifully smelled fresh herbs for the whole trip.
