Week 1

Travelling along Darling St from Victoria Rd, the first cafe on the southern side is C’est Bon. It’s the start of us having a coffee in every cafe on the peninsular.
A nice day to sit outside.

We got chatting to a local who was able to steer Robyn to a possible local book club and both of us to a local community centre.

First coffee of this exercise, so, so far, best coffee in Balmain!

Delighted to support a small roster in Concord.

This cafe in Parramatta, just south of the train station, roasts its own coffee and does a delicious breakfast.

Beautiful part of France, up near WWI fields.

My last day of work in the city.

We celebrated with morning tea in Vienna.

At Clontarf, opposite The Spit, a great dog friendly beach, before fish and chips at Manly.

Great off leash fenced dog areas, a dip in the Lane Cove River, a walk along the foreshore, a lovely walk through the industrial and residential streets.

An early morning ride along the Alexandria Canal from Tempe to Alexandria.

Enjoyed breakfast at The Grounds cafe. 

Not really what could be described as a scenic ride… it is along a canal and beside an airport after all, but still, a bit of blue on the map to fill in, and breaking at an institution such as The Grounds… well, any excuse will do!
