On the 27 of September my friend (Jake) and I decided to go to Bondi. I knew we were going for a walk but not the walk that he was thinking which I thought. After finishing the whole walk , I can now say that it was a perfect walk. From our apartment we took a 380 bus to Bondi Beach. Not many people were at the beach despite it was a perfect getaway for a beach day. I push myself not to satisfy with this view after doing some meditation, listening to the sound of wave, enjoying the cool wind. After enjoying the view of the foot beach, we decided to walk along the Eastern Coastal Walk. (Walking either through the man made pathway or walking through the cliff passing through the Eastern suburb like Bondi, Bronte, Tamarama, Coogee and etc). I got bored walking on the pathway and I decided to walk towards the cliff. Nothing beats walking on the cliff whereby you are able to look down towards the ocean. I dare to do it because I am not afraid of heights. We have chemistry. Jake took many breathtaking pictures and video of waves. As I was sitting at one of the cliff, mother nature took control of me leaving me the feel that I was on auto – pilot. I am always on auto – pilot when it comes to enjoying a scenery view. While I was sitting, Jake went down to the lower cliff to check out things and etc. I decided not to go down but I was thinking what do I miss if I go down and try. Maybe the most is I will hurt myself and then I will have a scar to mark that I was at the Eastern Coastal Walk. What a feeling to go down. Pardon me for I am trying to express all that I can express but are some that are just unexplainable, for you have to feel and try it yourself. There was one part where I was at the lower cliff and needed to go up. Jake was going through the narrow passages but I was thinking to go through the even rocks to get up. He dare me to walk along the narrow cliff to be up. At first I did not give a thought but never the less , I did it. It was not that tough though it looks tough. I guess this theory of thinking is hard but in reality is not is a mentality that all Human should erased. Oh what a feeling when I managed to pass through the narrow pathway. Now we had to walked on the pathway which I dislike after walking along the cliff. At this very moment, I guess we are now in between Bondi and Tamarama. Between these 2 beaches, I guess Tamarama is a better beach for surfing for the waves are bigger in comparison to Bondi. I would like to think that Bondi is becoming a commercialized beach for whosoever comes to Sydney, Bondi Beach will be on their iteniary. From far I could see the cliff and I walked towards it. While walking, we felt that we were out from the world where there was no civilization.When we though there was no civilization, we were wrong. The best was, we saw an old man sitting down doing his thing in his tent. It is not a tent for a day but a home for him. He might be crazy but look, he does not need to pay rent, gas and etc but I guess he will be using a lot of batteries. It was like the perfect house for him with a terrace. Seeing where people live are amazing. Again, we continue our walk along the cliff. We came to the peak of the cliff where we could see the rushing seas with deep waves. We were suppose to make a wish but we forgotten. I was carried away with the view. I felt that I was in National Geography, Discovery travel and adventure and etc. Our next beach on the next suburb is Tamarama Beach. I could see the beach from a far but never expected to be that far. Many people were at Tamarama Beach surfing and playing volley ball. I guess that is the main things a beach addict would do. The waves were so much bigger then Bondi. I guess most Australian are able to surf regardless male or female for Australia is famous for that especially in Surfers Paradise – Gold Coast. The sand at Tamarama Beach was deep that some if it went into my shoes and Jake walk on barefoot as he was wearing sandals. I was not going to let go despite I was longing to quench my thirst. I pressed on and walked towards to Bronte. The sun was slowly setting and we did not let it to stop our walk. Our walk from Tamarama to Bronte Beach was on the cliff. While walking, I saw people exercising on the pathway. What a nice place to jog an etc. Residents staying on the East coast have a good lifestyle and health. The distance between Tamarama Beach and Bronte Beach is maybe about 7 minutes (500 meters). It was an interesting walk for as we walk along the rock, sand..going high and low. The waves of Bronte Beach is almost equivalent to Tamarama Beach. I am trying really hard to remember what I saw in Tamarama but my mind is not giving me any signal. How bad ! When we started walking on the coastal walk, I only wanted to see Bondi, Tamarama and Bronte. When I though, I was done, I went to take a look at the Eastern Coastal Walk Information Board and there is Coogee,South Maroubra, Maroubra, Little Bay, and La Perouse. One part of me clings for home and another looks for adventure. We continued to Coogee. The walk from Bronte to Coogee was really long that took us more or less 2 hours. The 2 hours walk was on rocks and cliffs. On the way from Bronte to Coogee , I walked passed a steep hill that had me panting, had a glance of the Waverley Cemetery, Clovelly Beach, Gordon’s bay (I saw kids playing football and bowling center), saw a round moon. We had nothing to quench our thirst but I had only half of my banana bread which I ate earlier in the city, I shared that half with Jake. I really needed water. As I scroll down the pathway , we were climbing wood staircase and looking at nicely arranged fishing boats. As we were walking, I was not too sure whether are we in the right direction towards Coogee beach, I approached a lady to ask and she said we were in the direction as Jake saw a parking space while walking. I am excited that we are getting towards Coogee Beach. After walking for a while, finally I saw Coogee Beach and civilization. There was a pub, Mc Donalds, Cars, Busses, Convenience store and etc. The time was slightly after seven and we decided to go home (City). I had the craving to eat Asian food. We went to Superbowl. It was a good meal and we ended the day by watching The Guardian. Next we watched Die Hard and I slept half way watching while leaving Jake the rest.
