Day 107 – End of the road

Not much to report today bar the scenic drive along the coast back to Sydney. We stopped off at one point to see a cliff road bridge but after a minor trek to find the viewing point we were left disappointed with the view. Botany Bay was a shock; from the monument marking Cook’s landing we gazed out upon the view of oil refineries and airport.

After making it through the traffic in time to drop the car off I headed back to Manly and Tom met up with some friends. The afternoon soon went as got some chores done and went for a run on the beach.

With it being tom’s last night we went out for food and beer. Unfortunately the Thai we wanted to go to was shut and the substitute we found gave poor service. Still the beer was cold and the view over the harbour sublime.

About this blog

Welcome to the personal blog of Robert A J Ford, a professional interaction designer and developer based in the UK.

I started this blog in 2007 to record my cycle training leading up to the Etape. I've never been one for diaries but this format works well with my job and lifestyle so I expanded it to record details of other training and events.

As the blog grew it became a space where friends and family followed my activities. Their feedback has inspired me to keep writing. I hope you find something of interest and please feel free to leave comments.
