This morning I got picked up by Morgan (Neurosurgeon from Milan, Italy) and his girlfriend (Radiologist from Milan). We all were invited to have Brunch with Charlie (Australien Neurosurgeon) and his family. Morgan was perfectly on time considering that he is Italian.... ;) It was really nice to get to know everybody outside the hospital and the food was really good!!!!!
In the early afternoon I left and walked with Aneela to Bondi Junction to take the bus to circular quai. She was late for an appointment and after having done the Manly scenic walk yesterday I could barely keep up with her. That was quite embarrasing..... I had never taken the Bus from Bondi Junction before, so I got to see some new neighbourhoods... Really pretty! Sydney got some really really nice streets - small, neat houses, little yards in front of them, lot of trees, little cafés and shops..... Then I took the ferry to Watson bay. And guess what - it was sunny all afternoon, a little hazy, but sunny!!!!!
I woke up to a blue sky in the morning, but that changed sometime between 8.30 and 10... and I did expect some rain in the afternoon again, but fortunately I was wrong about that. Once I got to Watson Bay I did another one of the tours from my book.
I walked to the light house on South Head. South Head is the southern border of the entrance to the Sydney Harbor. It's like a little peninsula and it has been used to protect the harbour from invasions, which is still very visible all along the coastal line there..... I also tried to see the Navy Chapel which was marked as one of the things to be seen in my tour guide, but there were guards that wouldn't let me go through..... I thought that was kind of strange since the tour guide didn't make it look like some really well protected piece of land, but appearantly they aren't right all the time! Walking along the coast was once again pretty spectacular. I can't get
enough the turquoise color of the water, the cliffs, the breath.... and the Sydney skyline almost always visible. The plants are also really incredible.
Today I realized why some of the pine trees kept looking sort of weird to me and I could not quite figure out why... It looks as if their needles are pointing the wrong way.... After I had finished the walk I layed down in the grass in a park with a book and enjoyed an hour of evening sun, before I took the ferry back - into the sunset..... Circular Quai is really lively and since I wasn't quite ready to go back to my small room, I walked around there for a while and enjoyed being surounded by people. It makes me calm just sitting there, enjoying the warmth and watching people..... They all seem to be so very relaxed and that somehow transfers..... It is a really cool city with a great way of life!
