More of doing nothing in Sydney; now back in BKK

After a week of doing very little on the farm at my home, I got the chance to do the very same thing at a family friends house in Sydney for 2 weeks. Their house is in an amazing location, 2 minutes walk from Whale beach in the northern Sydney suburbs.

Whale Beach has one hotel, two small restaurants opened during the day, limited parking and off the main row. These things (and probably others) all mean that it keeps a very local vibe, and doesn’t ever seem to get too crowded. If want to spend a morning / day at a beach in Sydney and have your own set of wheels, I really recommend you head here (or the neighboring beach Palm Beach, which has a little more public facilities, but also bigger crowds).

Whale Beach, Sydney.

Most of my days consisted of waking up, (doing my best to) exercise, spending time at the beach, reading, hanging with my hosts / family, getting to bed. Not always in that exact order, but mainly so. (I was a bit restricted, without my own car, and staying in an outer suburb.) Apart from a bluebottle sting across my shin and learning to play Mahjong (though the scoring in this game is beyond me), not much that I did is worth writing.. so I’ll leave it at that. It doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy my time there though.

After Sydney, I had a whirlwind trip to Melbourne to catch a few friends which just wasn’t long enough, and now I’m now back in BKK. Time to begin thinking about getting back into the working life again (oh man, you mean back into some form of a routine again!?!). But.. I’ve also got European holiday planning to do.. and to learn how to score in Mahjong (though this make take several years).
