South Sydney - Bondi beaches and more


Jan & Dave with Sydney in the background
Our final full day in Sydney, it’s hard to know how Dave and Toni will top the last 2. Dave drives us through the city to Bondi Beach of course in the open top car so we can pose with the best of them. We have now crossed the Bridge both by train and car. Bondi is an amazing mix of people from beach bums to yummy mummies. After a walk to the headland to see the extent of Bondi and the rest of the coastline, the boys opt for some wave action, while Toni and I chat in a trendy coffee shop. The next stop on the tour is the headland at the entrance to Sydney Harbour, from here we can see all of the harbour, the fingers of water stretching into the city and on the other side the Pacific Ocean, totally amazing.

Lunch today is at Doyle’s On The Beach at Watson Bay, a great spot for lunch, chatting, people watching and ogling the view across the water. The seafood was just as awesome and after so much of it the only thing to do is drive home to enjoy the pool and a great evening of memories, old pictures and chat. As Toni said it was a day “right out of the box” – what a great description of not only this day but all of them. How can we ever thank our hosts, they’ve not only shown us the sights of Sydney, they’ve treated us to an insider’s view of life in this gorgeous water mad city and let us be part of their family.
