Wednesday Jan 7, 2026 - Sydney Day Two - Coastal Walk

We ended up with an extra day in Sydney because the had to move things because of a storm somewhere, so this is the day we were supposed to be here and yesterday was the extra day. Today the plan was to do a 6km hike around all the beaches near Sydney, known as the Bondi to Coogee Beach Walk. We took the shuttle into town (15 Lime St) and from there called an Uber which for $25 (AUD) got us way across town to Bondi Beach where everyone was out doing the beach thing. It is full on summer here so the beaches are packed. The weather is a little overcast but the temperature is going up to 80 today. The walk goes from Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach but we kept going on to Clovelly Beach and finally ended at Coogee Beach. It was hot but a spectacular coastal walk. 

At Coogee we called an Uber to take us to Rose Bay where we got on the ferry and went to Circular Quay. From there we walked back to where the shuttle picked us up. Our ship sails at 6pm so we had better be on it!  We arrived  back with enough time to order a room service sandwich, followed by a dip in the pool and hot tub. Then dressed and up on deck to see Sydney slip out into the ocean for our two day trip to New Zealand. We went to the entertainment tonight which was the four band members and the six dancers. Great show, high energy.
