Breakfast At The Bay

While sitting on the terrace overlooking the bay it was a pleasant opportunity to reflect on the area's popularity. A wide variety of places to dine, water views, colourful shops and brisk commercial activity. An air of calm despite the obvious tourist numbers attracted to the warmth and sunshine. It was difficult not to become a temporary tourist as the casual wait staff take and return orders to tables quickly and efficiently. An alfresco breakfast of Eggs Benedict under the canopy of the huge black umbrella. This was followed by a brief shopping experience in the many shops that dot the streets at Nelson's Bay. Still no 70 ml coffee cups so the search continues. I anticipate more breakfasts before we finally locate the elusive espresso cups that we seek. Whilst I would like to find the cups it is also good to be able to sample the local cuisine as the search continues. I know that the cups are available online but somehow, an online breakfast is not the same as that taken overlooking Nelson's Bay. Where will our search take us next weekend?
