Since it was probably my favourite part of Sydney, (despite what you might think when you see the dozens of pictures of the Opera House I’ve taken) we decided to wake up early and do the Coogee to Bondi walk once again.<\/p>\n
Not quite as hot as before, with a nice breeze, we caught a bus to Coogee and set out on the trail. Obviously having been feeding well, the spiders Louvelle and I had passed a couple of weeks ago were now about twice the size. Other than that, it was mostly the same walk – although with a lot more topless sunbathers.<\/p>\n
Summer is over, so the kids are back in school, and Bondi was definitely quieter than the last time we’d gone. We found a nice place by the beach and spent a long time in the water. I borrowed Louvelle’s bodyboard, and really enjoyed myself on it. Gregor wasn’t so keen. By the end of the time in the water we were both a little (more) sunburnt, and I was bruised and scraped from some body boarding injuries. Nothing too painful though.<\/p>\n
We intended to go to King’s Cross in the evening, to meet up with Enrico’s cousin. Getting in touch with the cousin proved difficult, and it started to pour rIN, so we decided we’d just eat near Louvelle’s. She took us to a tasty Malay\/Thai place about two blocks away. It has an excellent view of the Sydney CBD, and I’d be inclined to check it out again before I leave Australia for good. Louvelle’s roommate, Lee, has a nice view of the CBD too – so either way I should manage to get a good photo of it at night.<\/p>\n
It was still raining when we got back, and Louvelle had an injured foot, so Gregor and I walked down to her dance studio to pick up some crutches someone had left for her. Relaxed at Louvelle’s after that for a while, then tried to get to bed early, as Gregor has a bus to catch in the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
