last Sunday...

The last Sunday in Sydney (at least for this time) is over.... We started out having breakfast at Coogee-Beach! With some people from the hospital and the other Germans we went to a restaurant overlooking the water. I had blueberry pancakes. The view was stunning and the pancakes were ok, not like Deb's Sonday Morning pancakes - but it at least made me think of them. After breakfast I went to La Perouse which is at the nothern End of Botany Bay. There isn't much to see and I just walked around Henry Head and enjoyed some more of the typical countryside. I saw tons of little lizzards. There were three different kinds that I could actually see and two that I also got a picture of. They were so quick... and most of the time I could hear them, but not see them. The same was true for most of the birds. I really enjoyed walking a tour that wasn't crowded, because that way I got to see some animals! Mammoth had tried to get close to the lizzards, but that never really worked.... ;)
Later in the afternoon some clouds came up and I decided I head back towards the city and not stay on the beach. I only went back to Maroubra, got off and did some shopping at a German supermarket, to be able to bake a cake on my last day... Now I just have to find an oven! Appearently ovens don't necessarily belong to an Australian kitchen! We got a stove, but no oven and I asked Morgan and he's only got a stove as well... So I need to find someone living close by with an oven.... I never thought that would be a problem! ;)
Then I walked down to Maroubra beach and back along the coast to Coogee. As you may recall on the first Friday I was here I did go down to Maroubra as well (without a camera back then) and sort of lost the costal walk at some point. This time I found it! And I am glad that I went back there again. It didn't look that much different from the other costal walks that I have done - cliffs, touquois water, amazing waves... But it is always so nice to look at and walk along! And the sea was really rough in the later afternoon today. So the waves were really really great!
Now the last weekend is over, my legs are tired from walking around so much and they might actually enjoy a weekend of just sitting around... ;) So I have prepared them well for next weekends journy (or at least I have tried to do so...) Now I have to start thinking about packing and getting things organized, because so far I have been putting that off... I wanted to enjoy the last weekend and then start thinking about organizing everything.... I will do that with very mixed feelings. I am looking forward to many things, but I am also a little bit sad, that I will leave quite a few nice things behind and mostly of all that the adventure that I have been planning for so long and that I have been hoping for to happen even longer will be over soon...
Tonight when we were out for a glas of wine someone asked me what I get out of this: It is really hard to say while you're still enjoying the experience....
