Todays plans were initially going to Manly for brunch and then go up a couple of beaches up to test what is like swimming in the Pacific Ocean....
We changed the plan slightly due to severe traffic. Apparently over the last few weeks, weather during the week has been ok, but on weekends has been pretty bad. However today it was a fantastic weather (27-28 C) so lost of people in Sydney took the cars and planned a day in the beach. So we didn't do the brunching in Manly but we went one bach North and had a Fish & Chips, in the lawn, Before going to to the sea. The temperature in this beach was a bit cold, and of course full of waves. It surprised me that the water was saltier than I though, I would say that it was almost as salty as in the Mediterranean.
Later in the afternoon, we changed plans, we decided to change to another beach, this time in the north side of Sydney Harbour, instead on the Open ocean. We moved to meet Chris Rice and his family. We had a good time in there, in a lawn are behind the trees, and had a couple of swims etc. The water was quite clean (not as much as the ocean one) and the water calmer and warmer. I had a good relaxing time.
Once back to hotel, I felt a bit of the effects of the Jet Lag combineed with the tireness that beach days always brings , so plans for the evening became laundry and getting this ready for the and a bit of reading, and writing in the blog, and now bed time.
Tomorrow it would be the last day in Sydney, the only plan for the day is that in the afternoon, I'll be meeting Sean and Chris in the afternoon.
Hola chavalote soy Manuel Phantom :-)
ResponderEliminarPor fin puedo publicar un comentario, lo he intentado varias veces sin éxito.
Leyendo tu blog-diario dan ganas de irse a Australia ahora mismo.
Se echa de menos algún comentario gastronómico más detallado: ¿has probado ya la carne de canguro? sobre la carne de cangura ya te lo preguntaré en la ofic :-) ¿Qué tal la cerveza y el vino de las antípodas? o es que te has vuelto abstemio.
Y a ver si escribes algo en la lengua de Cervantes joder que no se que pinta un Murciano escribiendo un blog en la lengua de Seespir :-)
Me alegro de que todo vaya bien. No te olvides de ir actulizando el blog.
Un abrazo,
Manuel
Filo, soy Pedro A. Para alguien que ha veraneado cerca de la Manga es normal que el agua del pacífico esté un poco fría :-))) Lo que no he entendido es lo de más salada. Leche, ¿que has hecho una cata o qué?
ResponderEliminarPor lo demás tu viaje da bastante envidia, sobre todo porque aquí estamos a 10-12ºC y no apetece bañarse en la playa mucho...
Por cierto, ¿has probado ya el koala frito? ¿Vas a hacer algún cursillo de lanzamiento de boomerang? ¿Las montañas azules son azules de verdad? Cuéntanos más cosas que nos tienes sobre ascuas ;-))
Un abrazo
