2018 we set out to walk all the streets in our family tree.
A few we didn’t manage to cover as the only instances of that street were geographically difficult.
So, this weekend, while we were up Newcastle way for something else, we walked Bender Parade, Kotara.
Keith and Pat Bender, Robyn’s parents. Great people.
The Danube

Ahh the Danube. Some famous cities straddle Europe’s second longest river, including Linz and Vienna in Austria.
A little warmer this time; we’ve never visited in Summer before so the change in the landscape is striking.
The next morning, we were on our way. The river was just beautiful!
We docked beside a beautiful, huge old fig, which had some of the local area’s dry stone walls running to it. We found a stone that didn’t belong *
Finished the night with, of course, schnitzel. Perhaps not as good as previous, but still, it completed the holiday, back in Vienna.
And an ice cream 🙂
All in all, a lovely weekend away (in Kiama).

Previous visits included Christmas Day where we had lunch at a hotel, and with the kids a couple of years ago.

Went back to Italy for the weekend.
Love Florence.
Florence St, Hornsby 
Locally named 🙂 
Florence. Beautiful fountains 
Edgeworth David bushland reserve. 
Did NOT know Edgeworth David was a famous Australian (via Wales) geologist who went to the Antarctic with Mawson and Shackleton.
Reims

2021 has begun in the same fashion that 2020 ended… Sydney has entered a new lockdown for some, masks have become compulsory indoors, and travel is, for the time being, off.
Can’t see overseas travel returning this year at all.
So, with that in mind, we’re doing an internal NSW travel experience.
We’ll walk a street that has a connection to a past overseas holiday each week.
This week we revisited Reims. There’s been a few changes since we last visited 😉
There’s a creek in the bottom of every valley, and a lot of them have a path along them… it’s just a matter of finding that path 🙂
We walked along the track from Gannon Park
(sort of following Pidding Road) and then to Ryde Park along Buffalo Creek.
Hunters Hill

Hunters Hill in spring and the Jacarandas are out. Just beautiful.
Great waterfront path along the stretch of Hen and Chicken Bay.
And a swim in the off leash dog park at Battersea Park.
Clontarf

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.
Cafe 7-5 7 days a week! 
So, this weekend, we...
