Third day hiking in the national park

So, today was a beautiful day. Perfect for hiking. Blue sky with clouds and a gentle breeze. I walked almost 18 kilometers, but it was much more challenging than yesterday. Up and down in the altitude all the time. Of course, the advantage was that there were beautiful views. So today, my route (unfortunately no recording)

It didn't work again with my phone. I hiked to the Hornby Lighthouse, starting from my location on the east coast heading north, which is the outermost tip of our peninsula. The whole area is located in the national park of Sydney. Then I hiked the trail along the west coast, passing Watson Bay, Point Seymor, and Nielsen Park, until I reached Rose Bay Beach. Along the way, I discovered beautiful enchanting bays for swimming. It took me almost 5 hours for the 18 kilometers. I will definitely do this trail more often. Next time, I will bring swimwear and, above all, more drinks and food. Today, I only had a small water bottle and an apple, which is effectively not enough.

Yes, and when I was in Rose Bay, I passed by a salon for pedicure and manicure. My feet were hurting, and I was completely exhausted. So I asked if they had any available appointments, and they had one for me. Now I have a beautiful red shellac manicure and pedicure. I didn't even know what a shellac manicure was. I couldn't understand the Asian lady at all with her poor English, and she also wore a face mask. A local Australian woman sitting next to me explained it to me. It's supposed to last for four weeks. In any case, the whole treatment was very relaxing. I've been here for two days already and still haven't seen the sunset. I just don't feel like going out anymore when I'm at home. It was totally different last year in Tel Aviv.

In Tel Aviv, the sunset was always at 6 PM, practically on my way home.

I will definitely see my sunset here. By the way, the fish patties were very tasty, but with an Asian spice. Very, very spicy.

So, tomorrow I want to do the hike from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach, where there is a women-only bathing area on the southern section of the beach.

I will report again
