Kristen’s HERE

I was lucky enough to have another good friend come visit me in Sydney! Somehow, Kristen and I managed to coordinate our schedules so we were flying back to the states together (with a few minor stops along the way – in Melbourne and Auckland, New Zealand).

Bondi to Coogee Walk

Posted on by robandlinds
Probably one of the prettiest walks, we’ve ever done on a winter day…

Okay, okay — besides the time we hiked up Mount Massive with all our friends (see picture below); with the snow blowing in our faces and the below 20 degree tempatures; the time when Rob wore shorts until we reached the top and it was Kevin Bachman’s first fourteen-er (and the first real activity he’d done since his ski accident); the time when there was about 10 false summits and the wind wouldn’t stop.

Besides that walk, this was by far the best walk we’ve ever done on a winter day.

It was surprising to see an ice-skating rink on the beach, while the surfers in the background were riding the waves all day. We were in shorts and a long sleeve on our walk and people were bundled up in scarfs and ear muffs!! Come on! It’s not that cold — then I realized that Colorado is different.  Boulder is known for walking around in flip flops when there’s snow on the ground.
