As life is starting to feel more normal (even though winter is approaching and it is June tomorrow) we have tried to be better at exploring Sydney. Living in a great neighborhood filled with plenty to discover (great cafés, small bars, boutique shopping, etc), it's easy getting stuck spending the weekend too close to home. So this past weekend we decided to take a little adventure, about 30 minutes north to Dee Why to explore one of Sydney’s northern beaches and more importantly have some lunch.
It's only about 18 Kilometers (11 miles) from where we live but somehow it feels like you have stepped into an alternate universe. The air was crisp (a bit nippy), we strolled along the promenade, grabbed some fish and chips (apparently award winning) and settled by the waterfront. Besides being swarmed by a flock of at least 30 seagulls (who were seriously stressing me out) staring at us with anger, squealing, wanting us to surrender our chips (french fries), I can't really think of a better way of spending a lazy two hours.
Surviving lunch, we walked along the beach and cliffs. Even with the chill in the air people were in the water and the public ocean pool, built into the sandstone bedrock (it's really breathtaking).
Despite being a cold and windy day, it was a perfect outing at the beach, an ideal two hour excursion. Definitely an "I like Sydney" moment...
You were in my old stomping grounds!
