We got the Friday and Monday off work but unfortunately the weather was not up to scratch with the rest of March. But on Easter Sunday we decided to get out of the flat no matter what the weather was like. It actually turned out a pretty nice day in the end despite the weatherman forecasting rain. We went back to the Royal National Park because we were eager to have a swim. We got the train to Heathcote and dandered down the Karloo Trail which was mostly down hill. The cooler conditions made it easier to walk from last week. When we got to Karloo Pool Dave got straight in while Chris waited it out with Dougal as Dave said the water was BALTIC! But eventually she went in as she knew she would regret it if she didn’t. Despite the cold it was actually nice to swim in fresh, clean water. Being chlorine and salt free you could open your eyes under the water and not get smashed about in the waves. Also there was no fear of sharks but Chris has recently been informed that you can get sharks in rivers. Is this true?
We tried to walk a different way back but once again the map tricked us so we ended up backtracking up the hill which took twice as long. When we got home we cooked a proper chicken with stuffing. It was delicious!
The next day we saw Chris’ childhood friend Doireann McKenna and Stephen at Bondi. They are just settling in to Sydney so I hope they like it here. Once again the weatherman tricked us. Sydney was supposed to be a “mostly overcast day with showers”….. Yeah right! It was gorgeous with not a cloud in the sky!
