A few weeks ago a couple of my friends were in Sydney for a few days before heading to New Zealand for a bike trip. Not wanting to miss their smiling faces, Mike and I jumped on the train and headed down to meet them. We spent a few hours chatting on Bondi Beach and it felt so good! I guess I was lucky while living in Abu Dhabi because with Molly there, I always had a connection to home.
Being at Bondi Beach reminded me that I never shared photos from when Mike and I visited back in October. I used my point and shoot so the files were in a different folder.
So…
…way back in October between leaving Newcastle and heading to Hillston, Mike and I spent an afternoon at Bondi Beach. Getting there was a little bit of a pain. We had to take a couple of trains and a bus. Unfortunately, we got off at the wrong bus stop, so there was a pretty long walk involved too. Fortunately, we ended up at Sculpture by the Sea so the walk wasn’t so bad after all.
Sculpture by the Sea is an annual event that turns the coastal walk from Tamarama Beach to Bondi into an outdoor sculpture park. While the sculptures made the walk much more interesting (it’s really beautiful on its own), they also slowed us down. It was a popular place to be!
After finally arriving at Bondi, we relaxed on the busy beach.
With so many gorgeous beaches in Australia, I can’t say Bondi was my favorite… but it’s something you’ve got to see.
xo, jill
*I always sing this Ben Lee song to myself when I think of Bondi…and I just realized I’ve been singing it really wrong. Oops!
I love the sculptures…cool!
ugh. so jealous. what FUN!
It was really good timing for us and made getting off at the wrong bus stop much less of a tragedy!
