Bondi Beach Trip!

The girls and I took a bus, then a train, then another bus to Bondi Beach today. Apparently, Bondi Beach is one of the most popular beaches around. The beach and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to have such a beautiful day - it was 20 degrees (about 70 degrees Fahrenheit) and the sun was shining! We didn't go in at all but we of course dipped our feet in! It definitely wasn't much colder than the Jersey Shore in mid-summer! We saw a lot of surfers in their wet suits just waiting for decent waves but it wasn't the best day for that! We also saw a lot of men in speedos; still something I will have to get used to!

Many of the beaches around Sydney they have pools in the ocean which are man made pools but filled by the ocean! The one we saw today didn't look like the waves would be high enough to fill it but I've heard some of the others are like that! I would be very interested in going and swimming in one of those!

We met up with Brianna and her friend from University of New South Wales and we just walked around Bondi. Bondi Road has some cute shops and at the other end is one of the best shopping centers I have ever seen! Obviously I need a million more dollars to shop there but it was awesome! I splurged and got a hot fudge sundae from Macdonals (aka Mackers or Mackys). Overall the trip was fun! We will definitely be going more often when the weather is warmer especially because now we've figured out our way there! Today was a make-up day for our past two be-lazy-and-do-nothing days and it was totally worth it!
