With Term 4 hitting hard, uni all a frenzy, who would blame me for starting think of how much leave to take at January, and how escaped I can get in that time?
At the start of this year, my mother took me away to The Golden Door health retreat in Pokolbin. A wonderful week, but always too short…

While I’d love to go back, I think some place closer, and a little less expensive would be just as nice. I wanted to get away to someplace without mobile reception, maybe a trip to Cedarvale in the Kangaroo Valley would go down well? Bushwalks, massages, vegetarian food, relaxation, and a week or two without internet, caffeine, alcohol, and mobile phones!
Sounds exactly what I need! ;)

Back in Canberra after five nights at The Golden Door health retreat in Pokolbin…

A week of eating delicious and healthy food, having spa treatments and waking at six for Tai Chi and a brisk 5.4km walk before breakfast :)

Loved it.

Yes, I bought the cookbook. I have also not had caffeine (including diet coke!) since the maccas stop on the drive up…

The rest of my pics are here at Flickr. Maybe if I cut out the diet cokes and coffees, I can afford to go back next year? :p
