about my life
The Stones in Berrima are known for their pie shop,,so after some exercise in the gym I had “brunsch” at the stones. They do not only do savoury pies. They have a large selection of desert. I could resist the temptation and had a traditional meat pie. It was a good pie, but maybe the…
After one week in Sydney it was time to leave. I had a great stay this time. I rode through the Royal national park with nice views and good road for bikers. Once I came out on the south side of the park I stopped at The Scarborough Hotel which I was told was a…
It is over ten years since Imlast sailed in Sydney Harbour. That time Elinor and I got a the sail race as a surprice gift. The weather was sunny and no wind at times. This time everything was different. Thanks John and Peter for the show. We left around 13:30 from RSYS (Royal Sydney Yacht…

The morning started with some jogging on Balmoral beach. One of my favourite spots in Sydney. After this I was determined to try to pick up the saddlebags I had ordered for the bike. Twice! First time the company could not send because I had missed a word in the address and they cancelled my…
Riding from New Castle to Sydney did not offer much interesting views on the route I chose. The Putty road could have been an alternative, but it is supposed to be very curvy. I made it to Sydney just in time for my business meeting. Just in time. I had to throw in the bags…
After a good nights sleep it was time for the koalas to get some attention. I visited the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie where they help sick animals and working to keep the koalas from extintion. The ride today offered beautiful scenery. Between Tuncurry and Bulahdelah I found this marvelous view and som shade. The…
