Port Macquarie – East Coast

by principessa April 11, 2019

Typically Australia, this city also has a lot of good places to see and food to eat. Some of them are listed here. Feel free to stop by and get your own opinion.

FOOD

Go to Social Grounds. This would be your first choice. It’s a place from friends of friends and also got recommended to us. Pictures do speak for themselves…..
Check my Instagram for more impressions.

Bandwagon Cafe would also be a nice option. Although it’s a little more expensive, the design of the cafe is very unique and worth getting some inspiration for your own apartment or garden back home. You know, to take the vacay feeling with you….

if this pictures doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will…

The Milkbar next to Town Beach Park

TRAINING

CrossFit HIJACKED
Nathan is the owner of CF HIJACKED. Get a shirt, the design is awesome. Own your brekkie, get training done first thing in the morning.

QUALITY TIME

Coastal Walk
You’ll pass stunning coastal scenery, lots of beaches and some rainforest parts along the coastal walk. Do a full day walk for a few more hours or break it up into several short walks for 1-2 hours. The whole walk is 9.1 km long, depending on the amount of pictures you take, it can take more time than initially expected! At least this happened to me, which is why we broke it in two days. It is totally worth walking every step…

How to start your day at it’s finest.

by principessa April 11, 2019

This is pretty much a guide for travel and fitness loving people….

So here is our story:
Rent a camper van (or just buy a car, chuck a mattress in there), take a towel, some body wash and water. You’re ready to hit the road. If you are planning to travel up or down the coast between Brisbane and Sydney, make sure to stop at Port Marcquarie. Not only does this town has an amazing Coastal Walk with beautifully changing landscape, it also has plenty of beaches you can surf at. Surf Schools will help you catching the very first wave. Visit the Koala Hospital! Nice little fluffy creatures who were fortunate to be rescued from bush fire or dog bites. If you are a local reading this, please put your dog on a leash.

Requirements for a good start in the day.

Wake up early. See the sunrise and experience the feeling of a city just waking up. This can be very magical.

Do an early workout. You know, something quick but intense. We decided to check out Crossfit HIJACKED and we did not regret any second! Such lovely people! Tho owner, Nathan, and his family were unbelievably friendly. Yes, even his mum did the same workout. This is very passionate. We had such a great time. The WOD sounded like nothing but it actually rocketed the lactate to a nice high peak.

Get food. Good food. Proteins are best to eat right after an exhausting training, check this page to understand why. Ask Nathan and his beautiful girl for recommendation! <3
