The Great Outdoors

We were blessed with lovely blue skies and cool weather more than half the time, though it was technically winter. Two things uncannily reminded me of Berkeley/California - being in the midst of so many Asians in angmoh country and the blue skies coupled with lovely/comfy weather. While doing the coastal walk at Bondi beach, we saw so many ppl doing afternoon jogs... at like 130pm in afternoon! That would be so nightmarish in hot humid Sg.

An inspiring bend at Manly beach.



The lovely waters at Bondi

We saw several types of cute flowers on the various walks/ trails we took... sleepy red and white flowers..
As well as butterfly-like orange ones!

Every cloud has a silver lining

We also went on a very beautiful walk when at the Blue Mountains.. The descent was pretty treacherous, but luckily for us, the walk was a circuit and the steps we had to climb towards the end weren't too bad lah.

Warm evening glow at the famous Three Sisters at the Blue Mountain (Do you see 3 somewhat distinct rocks towards the end of the cliff?) We were really lucky cos the light on the rocks lasted for like... 30 seconds.
