Humid Hiking

Today we went to Palm Beach where we did the 'strenuous 3 hour round trip hike" in about 45 minutes, which involved a fair amount of non-hiking time.  But the views were nice and there was indeed a lighthouse.
  After that epic adventure we cooled off in the ocean, which is interesting only because there was a 'blue bottle' jelly fish warning and plenty dead ones on the beach.  They aren't fatal, but they are painful.
I didn't get stung.
  we followed it up with australian burgers- which have a fried egg on top and pickled beet root- better than you would think.
  Finally a late dinner with friends in Padington.

Ok, lookit my pictures now.

This is the 6000 year old spit of land that makes Barrenjoey no longer an Island

First view of the lighthouse, it is the 3rd lighthouse constructed in 1880ish 

 But who cares about the lighthouse in this pic eh?

 What those of you in the snow are missing
