Coffee, Darling Harbour, Barangaroo Reserve, Jazz pub, Botanical Gardens home then out for Dinner on Bondi! Turned out to be busier day than expected! After the usual coffee and fantastic Foccacia BLT at Hollys (Ying had “Winter rice porridge” in the heat) we headed into town for more coffee (original destination closed) but picked up …
John decided to go on a “hot run” down to Bondi beach, too hot for me! Then off to Bronte Beach for a beach barbie, hoping no one else had had the same idea on Easter Sunday… Despite there already being six fatalities due to storm surges across NSW beaches for the weekend the weather …
Today started with coffee at Lulus local coffee shops again on way to Coles supermarket then again (take-home) coffee on the way back heehee We the set off north to Kuringai National Park about an hour away and what seemed like a modest 5k walk down to the coast and back but with a not …
Another run (yawn) this time with Lulu, Em and Cheng, down to and around Centennial Park, no flying foxes this time but a longer loop… and we rewarded ourselves with various top notch flat whites, iced lattes and watermelon juices, Rob!!! Then off to Sydney Easter Show, which was MASSIVE. makes Newbury show feel like …
A quiet day today… Shashuka and coffee at Savta cafe (Israeli/Middle Eastern). Shashuka good and spicy, coffee ok

Off to Coogee. We took the bus down to Bondi Beach and found a very nice coffee at AKT cafe. Had bacon and egg bagel, good, and an egg and chorizo bagel (but the chorizo was more like a frankfurter…) disappointing Bondi Beach itself was quieter but more “surfy” and swimming was not allowed though …
Today John and Lulu working, (Johns first day in ITU) so we started with trip into Bondi Junction for coffee and half an egg bacon and cheese roll (lesson learnt!) 2nd coffee at “Nook” not so good… Then walked to Bondi Beach which tbh sounds more exotic than it was. Sydney has good pedestrian paving …
Off to the Royal National Park in the “Johnmobile” The park is an hour away past Botany Bay and the airport/Johns work. We walked to the Balconies and then onto Wedding Cake Rock along very picturesque paths with exotic and unnamed flora and fauna Em, Kev and Cheng met us at Wedding Cake Rock, and …
Rising at 7.30 to beat some of the heat (about 23c at that time) John Lulu and I headed out for an early morning run into Bondi Junction then on to Centennial Park. Although one or two steepish hills it was mostly a flat circuit beside a horse track encircling a cluster of lakes in …
