October 30 - Try a little Surf

Seth, Lilly and I worked through Sydney's public transportation to find Bondi Beach. The transportation in this city was not nearly as easy as in Melbourne. Don't get me wrong, you can get everywhere you need to go. We just had problems with finding which bus to take and how to pay (you can't just buy a ticket on the bus). In the course of the day, we did ride the monorail, a bus and a ferry.



Bondi Beach is a famous surf beach and everybody goes there. It was a little chilly and I didn't expect to get a suit on, but within minutes of playing around it was evident that Lilly was going to get more than her feet wet. The longer we played around, the bigger the waves got. There were life guards and instructions to swim between the red flags, but it is easy to see how people can get into trouble in these waters.

[Note: we are not in any of the beach pics and we were careful to not include any speedo clad men or topless women so don't bother looking]




We met Alan and Pennie later in the afternoon and walked to the Opera House. We took some pictures and then left Lilly with Alan and Pennie and had a date! We took the ferry back to the casino and got a few good pictures along the way. More of these to come!
