Sunday was a warm and gorgeous day – perfect for a morning cycle, a leisurely coffee and brunch in the park with the cycling group, and then a trip out to Wylie’s Baths for swimming in the afternoon.

Amazingly calm seas – this rock outcropping is called “Wedding Cake Island”

A busy afternoon at Wylie’s

Coogee beach with almost no surf

Sunday night we actually ran into a friend of ours at dinner at the local pub. Des is a retired Qantas executive, who cycles with the club. He is the curator of the Qantas museum at the airport, and last year he gave us an individual tour of the museum before our flight home. We didn’t realize that Des lived so close by, and it was really nice to spend some time with him that evening. Although we really do like each other, after 5 weeks together, we do appreciate company and some lively conversation!!
