In a fit of health-fueled delusion, Cliff and I decided to tackle the long-ish hike -- with spectacular views -- from Bondi Beach, around several headlands, to Watson's Bay.
First, we cheated -- we took a bus from Bondi Beach up the steep climb to the top of the next headland. See Cliff doing some vigorous cheating on the left. The views over the cliffs, with the sea crashing on the rocks below, were gorgeous, as were the multi-million dollar homes perched up on the headlands.The walk took about an hour at a leisurely pace, including pausing to stare at a bold kookaburra. As New Yorkers, our normal idea of wildlife is a drunk warbling down a street at 3 in the morning (there's plenty of that in Sydney too, but that's for another post...)
When we got to Watson's Bay, it was time for a lovely cool drink at the cafe/pub. Watson's Bay is a couple of coves over from the city center. You can see downtown's skyline from the neighborhood -- looks far but it's only a 20 minute drive or ferry ride.
So to cap off the day's exertions, we hopped on the ferry and posed all the way back home :-)
