A Walk to the Wharf
I've always had this theory that walks were romantic. It must be doing something for the adrenalin that makes you feel more in lurrve... Heheh... But what I love to see in taking walks is how you're spending exclusive moments being in synch with your partner.
I'm not much of a walker. Coming from a city where everyone has a car or commutes minimally, nor are there pedestrian friendly sights, Sydney is definitely a change. Not that I mind, for the reasons mentioned above. My legs are just going to need a bit of time getting used to. =P
Last night after dinner, Lee and I took a walk down to the Balmain East Wharf. It was a chilly 16.3°C and I nearly wussed out on the idea when he suggested it. But I didn't want to just sit out the evening in front of the TV. Besides, then I wouldn't have some pictures of the Sydney Harbour Bridge at night for you. ^_~
We are that close. Lee even pointed out that the fireworks pontoon set-up for the New Year's eve countdown was set-up directly in front of the wharf. So close, people were covered in soot after the fireworks went off.
View of Sydney's CBD beside the Harbour.
The walk up and down the hill to get to the wharf was pretty too. A lot of old townhouses from the 1800s nicely maintained and restored. A little romantic historic walk in the cold. *^_^*

Yup...Silly Wabbit got it right. First few weeks I was dying, but after that, I couldn't go anywhere without walking first. Great way to lose weight - seriously!
