What a day we had. Catching a ferry from Circular Quay to Mosman Bay was the first leg and then the walk. I inadvertantly said left when it should hve been right and so it was our first detour but after that we had a great walk to Taronga Zoo wharf, passing that to Clifton Gardens and then on to Balmoral. We walked for 4 hours and covered just on 8km most of which was a good track but there were 2 steeeeeeeep climbs. Today the backs of my legs feel a little sore.
There were a lot of the Eastern Water Dragons sun baking on the paths and they would run as were got closer. John had a fall about half way but carried on only to find when he got home he needed to put ice on the foot to help with the pain. Today the bruise had appeared but he is walking OK.
We stopped at Bradley Head reserve to have our picnic lunch. We were interupted by a family of kookaburras who perched in the tree nearby. As I was holding the last bit of ham and tomato roll, one of the babies swooped down and whipped the food, which was near my mouth, and off it flew. An older French couple came over to take a photo of the birds (they had seen what had happened). Unfortunately their English was very limitied and after a couple of words we headed onwards.
It was a great day and our next walk is Circular Quay, across the bridge, Lavender Bay, McMahons Point to Waverton. All these years and I haven't walked across The Bridge.
