We switched around our plans a bit and headed to Sydney to meet up with Robin. He is originally from Bondi and invited us to come over and stay at his place for the night after a tour of the suburb. There truly is no other tour guide better than someone who has known the area since their youth. Driving in was absolutely incredible. The sun was shining and the rushing, stunning mass of Sydney popped over the hill to display the incredible Harbor Bridge and opera house.
CLIFF TOP WALK
This walk extends 6 km from Bondi to Coogee in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. It hugs the sandstone cliffs through 3 different bays that are idyllic for swimming and surfing. Everyone who walked by us seemed to be perfectly fit and smelling of strawberry fairy floss. Needless to say the picture taking was endless!
With Shoalhaven Heads our next (and final) stop, it felt amazing to have the trip end on this note. The sandstone cliffs were bubbled from years of exposure to water and sun which truly brought the trip full circle. We took a short backpacking trip to Galiano Island before we flew out to test the gear. The incredible art that nature is completing over there looked strikingly similar to Bondi.
FOOD
We spoiled ourselves more than I should mention while we were staying with Robin. Refreshing sparkle drinks, coffees, middle eastern feasting plates, exotic fruit and massive breakfasts made their way into my food porn memory. This corner cafe called Thelma and Louise took the cake though. Somehow we made it through this breakfast and the rest of the day, albeit slowly.
