Wow what a whirl-wind week or two we have had! Josh and I were extremely lucky to have had 5 stunning days in Sydney with only 6 days to plan the trip! Ahhhh the excitement levels never ceased and nor did the sunshine.
We did the touristy things around Circular Quay of course but the coast was what we explored the most and explored is what we did for 5 days morning til night and there is so much more we desperately want to go back and see!
Our highlights were the Coogee Beach toBondi Beach coastal walk, we loved Coogee so much we want anyone heading to Sydney to know about it...AMAZEBALLS! CoogeeBeach, smaller and more quaint than Bondi, this is my kinda place -if I win lotto tomorrow I will be blogging from Coogee for life!
The most beautiful natural rock swimming pool 'Giles Baths' is hidden here, the water so crisp and clear and ohhhhh so idyllic! A bit of Aussie history too, I always love delving into the past when I'm touring a new destination.
The coastal walkway itself is a great way to burn off those delicious meals Sydney puts on, it ducks into nooks and crannys of beaches, each complete with surf club....oh Aussies love of surf life saving as a sport...i just dont get it! It feels like every corner you turn has another group of friends huddled together just waiting for you so they can yell surprise....surprise a graveyard with possibly one of the best views in Sydney, not what I expected to come across...
Moving on...we also investigated Manly beach and Palm beach, better known as Summer Bay, both of which are again beautiful, Balmain is full of character English buildings Surry Hills I cannot wait to go back to (with a shopping budget worthy), its amazing little shops are full of everything I love! And The Rocks so full of history and beautiful old sandstone buildings and wonderful eateries.
Sydney we loved you, we will be back....you can count on us being those annoying NZ relies that come back year on year!
