Pretty legit for an airport meal!
At Sydney Airport, heading to Melbourne shortly.
If you are thinking of changing your life, do it.
It will be hard. It will be scary. You will question yourself over and over.
But if you relentlessly pursue what it is you really want, you will one day find yourself in such a situation where life looks more beautiful than you ever could have possibly imagined.
Right place. Right time. And I never could have been here if I hadn’t listened to what my heart whispered to my mind, and if I hadn’t fully committed the day my mind whispered back, “OK. Let’s do this.”
Bondi to Bronte
New on Answering Oliver — Day 30: Bondi to Bronte
Well, technically Double Bay to Bondi to Bronte and back.
Why yes, I wore my Garmin for this nice long walk. Lots of stopping to take pictures in miles three, four and six. : )
Bondi Beach: A nice 2.5-mile walk from my friend’s flat in a Sydney suburb.
I was too lazy to run it… plus, I stopped for falafel on the way. Might as well just chill here for a bit to let that goodness settle in my tummy before walking/possibly running the Bondi to Bronte trail.
Australia does not suck, my friends.
Goodbye, New Zealand
Today was my last full day in New Zealand, and my last day on the Stray backpacker bus that’s taken me all through the country.
This was my view at 7:45 a.m. as I took my last bus ride to Christchurch. At one point I had a driver who played this song first thing every morning, so I’ll always associate it with driving through NZ and watching some of the most amazing scenery fly by.
I would be sad to leave NZ, but I’m trading “Kia Ora” for “G’day, mate”…
I’m flying to AUSTRALIA tomorrow!
Need I remind you of the time I saw Thunder from Down Under in Vegas? Not that I’m expecting every Aussie to look like that or anything… …. …. heh.
See y’all in Sydney!
I be all up in the mountains
Hellooooo from Mt. Cook National Park!
I did a quick 3-mile run upon arriving here just to check out the scenery. It’s beautiful, of course. I’ll let you know when I find an ugly place in New Zealand (never-ish).
I was a little huffy and puffy on this run, and I was like, WTF? I just ran seven yesterday!
Then I checked out the elevation stats on the Garmin Web site. Queenstown is about 1,050 feet above sea level, whereas my run today rocked out at 2,500 feet above sea level. Whee!
Or my huffing and puffing could be directly related to the amount of generic “hazelnut spread” (cheap backpacker’s Nutella) I’ve consumed today… directly from the jar… but let’s just go with the elevation thing, hmm?
P.S. The road I ran on was called Hooker Valley Road. That is all.
Brie and crackers with a view.
Honolulu, Hawaii.
Wellington, New Zealand.
Vancouver, B.C.
Add Queenstown, New Zealand, to the list of the most stunning places I’ve ever run.
Yesterday’s rainy run had nothing on the glory of this morning.
{7 miles — 1:05:36 — 9:22 pace}
Roasted pumpkin, roasted red pepper, tomato, red onion, cucumber, feta, sunflower seeds and greens tossed in a vinaigrette.
Amazing and filling!
