Within an hour of Sydney by train one can explore an amazing variety of landscapes. Royal National Park is south of the city along the coast. I actually went there twice this week. The first trip was with my Spanish friend Javi. We hiked to some wind swept and very dangerous beaches. We did not venture into the water as we could see the rip tides and currents moving fast and furious only a few meters from shore. A few days later Jenn and I took our bikes on the train to visit another part of the park. One thing I have learned from biking is that you better really enjoy the down hills, as there is a killer uphill waiting to balance out the equation. After a wonderfully long downhill ride to the start of the trail, and a peaceful ride through the forest, we had a 45min uphill leg burner that tested us to the limit.
