For our last day in Sydney the skies opened for a gorgeous day at the world-famous Bondi Beach along with a shopping adventure!
Bondi Beach was home to the Sydney Olympic beach volleyball games and a local gathering spot to enjoy the great surfing and eateries along the shoreline. Of a morning, whales frequent the harbor providing a spectacular natural wonder to the ocean. But they are not the only creatures of Bondi, sharks while not an immediate danger have also been spotted along the coast. Yikes! Be brave, I have to learn to surf! This hasn’t deterred anyone from surfing or swimming, but the great feature to the beach is the 50-meter pool that breaks the waves right on the ocean! The pool is a rarity with outdoor winter swimming, this has earned them the title of Bondi Icebergs. The pool is gorgeous set along the ocean. If only I could have swam in it! The winter festival was going on at Bondi with a temporary ice-skating rink set on the beach! It was so strange to see surfers in the background of families skating around in short-sleeved shirts.
If I had to equate Wollongong to any area of Sydney, I would have to gage it upon Bondi. Or at least I’m hoping. The beach life is so relaxed and anything goes really. We shall see tomorrow!
We strolled through the Paddington markets today as well as many stores surrounding Darling Harbor. I bought some essentials for an interchangeable wardrobe and found some stores I love! When I have enough money of my own, I want the entire collection of Forever New. I have never been to a store when I wanted everything, but I found it today. Gorgeous clothing.
I also entered the new world of prepaid SIM cards, uhh how I will miss unlimited texting and never worrying about how long I talk during a call. I have a new feature though, I have a data package! Now I just need to learn how to use the internet on my phone haha. Go Telstra!
