Copenhagen canals

We arrived at 6.00am and our apartment would not be ready until 5.00,not what you want to hear after 20hr flight! So after a bit of a hassle, our luggge was piled into the front of a bike and we peddled along to the office. So what next...delicious Danish coffee and pastries and then on to the canal tour. Couldn't believe how low those bridges were.

Talk about losing your head in Denmark!

Neighbour of the Queen!

Great apartment overlooking the gardens of Rosenberg Castle. Quirky with the strangest taps and gadgets. The washing machine is I think from the 60's fits in 2 pairs of socks, undies and possibly a T Shirt! (See bottom right hand picture). Quirky owner too... lover of books, music and art so the apartment is full of interesting things.

Copenhagen here we come

Great flights with Thai & SAS... stopover for 3 hrs in Bankok. Then into wonderful Copenhagen!

A few more steps

Day 2 – Avalon to Narrabeen Lakes

Another 13 km walk took us across near secret, secluded beaches that we really didn't know existed. Avalon, Bilgola, Mona Vale... often the only people on the beach!

ub we walked over Bilgola Head to small Bilgola Beach, amzing we seem to be the only people exploring. Newport Beach to Bungan Beach, which is sheltered by a steep hillside and only accessible by walking track. Finally Mona Vale Headland, another breathtaking vantage spot, and finally Mona Vale and Warriewood beaches.

Coastrek Palm Beach to Coogee

100km of spectacular scenery! Decided to walk from Palm Beach to Coogee in stages. Not sure if we will finish before we leave next Wednesday but will give it our best shot. So far have walked from Barrenjoey to Rose Bay.

Day 1 – Barrenjoey to Avalon

Starting from Barrenjoey Beach, this 13km walk winds past craggy headlands and sweeping, sheltered beaches. Starting with the breathtaking views over Pittwater from the lighthouse. We headed to Palm Beach, past ‘Summer Bay Surf Club’ made famous by the hit TV series ‘Home and Away’. Then we walked over our first headland, to McKay Reserve, to Whale Beach.and onto Bangalley Head, the highest point on Sydney’s northern coast and finally to Avalon Beach.

Whoo Hoo... travelling again.. Feel sad to be leaving everyone in Oz in a couple of weeks BUT so looking forward to our next adventure. So different to last year. VERY European. Copenhagen for a week and then on to a cottage in Derbyshire. We are doing the Hadrian's Wall walk with Chris and Sue.... booked lots of music and drama ... Carmina Burana at the Albert Hall, the Proms, Opera at Buxton .... so very excited.

Can't wait to catch up with friends and their news..... new babies galore!!!!!!

Then off to Brussels and our home exchange in Bavaria for a month. Wow!

So it is a goodbye and hello message......(and I am resolved to actually keep up with my blog!)

Love Julie
