Debut on Australian sands

So, two months after moving to the land of Kangaroos we finally decided a beach visit was overdue.  We set out one Friday afternoon for a 6-km coastal walk from the world famous Bondi beach to the not-so-famous Coogee. We were dead sure we wouldn’t cover the entire stretch so we carried along a change of clothes and towels for when we venture into the clean blue waters instead of marching ahead.

Most things around the world are over hyped. You hear so much about them but when you go to visit they surely disappoint you. But, the Bondi-Coogee coastal walk more than lived up to our expectations. While the beaches by themselves are so scenic, the walk along the ocean is even more pleasant and gets you to some of the most picturesque locations in Sydney. There is a cemetery on the way and it is apparently one of the most beautiful in the world. And, rightly so!

In hindsight, we should have left earlier for that would have given us some time to get into the waters. Sun sets early in this country and at least during this time of the year it starts getting dark by 5 pm. We should have been mindful of that. So a good idea would have been to start early, hit one of the many cafes lined along Bondi beach for a sumptuous breakfast, end the walk at Coogee around lunch. Thank god for next time!
