• Leaving Sydney

    December 27, 2025 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    What an exciting day! While we did check out of the hotel and prepared to leave Sydney behind, we went back to my beloved matcha place from three days ago. I went in, ready to order my coconut milk matcha frappe, excitedly looking up at the server — who promptly said:
    “Sorry, our mixer is broken.”

    Ow. Ow. Oh, the pain. I was not happy. 😅

    As a consolation prize, I got more Thai mochi and a green, pudding-like Thai dessert with Pandan (green stuff that tastes like cake - it‘s a plant). 😄😄

    We took the train back to our car — Timo had found a free parking spot when we first arrived in Sydney, and we were so thrilled about it that we’d left the car there and carried our heavy necessities to the second hotel on foot. What a shame to leave Sydney behind like that.

    Our next stop was Collaroy, where Timo had spent some time in his younger years, back when Australia was still a colony.
    Enjoying a pie, we strolled along the beach and later grabbed some surprisingly good fish and chips for the road.

    Surely something else must have happened today as well. I think. I just can’t remember.
    All I know is that we eventually ended up at McNamara Park, where we spent a night in the tent — with surprisingly decent temperatures.

    P.S.: The last pic shows you some yummy stuff we could have eaten at yet another Thai restaurant in Sydney. We didn't. I don't think we were very hungry... 😄
