Our new friends from the church by the bridge suggested that we spend our last day in Sydney doing the coastal walk from Coogee to Bondi. It was a great suggestion.
The walk took us first across Coogee beach where we saw a couple taking wedding photos. From there we walked along a rocky and beautiful coastline, looking down at the powerful waves and colourful rocks. The path occasionally had fitness stops with simple suggested workouts such as chin-ups or inclined sit-ups. Lots of people ran along the path - it would be a fantastic place to run.
When the path didn't wind along the top of the cliffs, it took us down to the multiple sandy beaches on the coast. There we had fun watching the crazy surfers and the rolling waves. One section of the walk took us up through an old cemetery that covered a wide section of the hillside by the coast. It is quite likely the best view I have ever seen from a cemetery.
We arrived at Bondi beach with a very hungry Jeremy (we only had a small snack before starting the 6km winding walk in hopes that we would come across lunch en route). A delicious Chinese restaurant hit the spot, and Jeremy was saved. We watched more daring surfers on Bondi, did a bit of shopping (I bought a warm and huggable hoodie), and we watched a spectacular sunset. The sun lit up tiny cotton ball clouds across the entire sky with a golden pink. A perfect way to end a wonderful trip.
