Cliff Walk

Today we took the ferry from Circular Quay (pronounced key) to Watson's Bay and did the 6 to 7 kilometer cliff walk through the 7 beaches.  At Watson's Bay, we went through a park that abutted the Don Richie Grove from yesterday and then caught a bus to Bondi Beach where we treated ourselves to Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy Gelato.  We began our trek at Bondi Beach and then continued until Coogee Beach.  It was hot today in the mid 80s and bright sun.  The wind helped to keep us more comfortable on our walk.  We were gone from 11:30 to 5:30 and it was very relaxing.  The stairs and uphill climbs at times were challenging but overall the walk was worth the trip.

Bondi Beach, apparently topless is the way to sunbath like in Europe




They plant beautiful yellow flowers on each of the graves overlooking the sea and it was such a peaceful place. The cliff walk goes right by this old cemetery 

Coogee Beach where we walked along the water's edge and put our feet in the water which was refreshingly cold on a hot day.

We met back up with Elmer and Hettie Lee for dinner at an Italian place others had recommended the night before under the cliffs in the Rocks section of town.  They had been given a bottle of champagne by the hotel and they gave it to us, which we will enjoy on our last evening here tonight.
