What a last day in Sydney - a great day for walking the coastal path between Bronte and Bondi - blue skies, some surf and clear water. Bondi has been cleaned up considerably since we were there last - still the inappropriate use of budgie smugglers (speedos) and Mandy remains convinced I should not have any!
Everyone and his dog was on this stretch of the cliff path today and not surprising. Just like Hengisbury Head.
From Bondi we caught the bus up to Watson's Bay. The views from the road through Vaucluse were staggering - unfortunately could not get the bus to stop for photos.
Watson's Bay is home of Doyle's fish and chips - either a take away option or a restaurant. Take away f&c was followed by a brisk walk up to South Head - incredible views of the ocean, harbour and city- needless to say a few more photos were taken.
Watson Bay hotel has changed completely but still serve beer! Managed to squeeze in a quick one before catching the ferry back to the city.
We then had a trip down memory lane - caught the bus from Wynyard up to Neutral Bay where we used to live. The Orpheum Cinema is still there and expanded slightly so arcade we used to short cut through in now part of the cinema - didn't stop us using the short cut though to re trace steps.
We then went to South - a New Orleans style restaurant - to meet Gordon, Meredith, Finlay and Caitlin. All on good form and G&M have not changed. Fin was on good form - Caitlin Joe and George were all showing definite signs of fatigue.
Home to pack - Lisa has kindly offered to drive us to the airport tomorrow. Brisbane here we come!
