Bondi – The next day we took the 333 bus to Bondi
beach. The beach is huge and really
busy; sort of reminded me of Southend seafront on a grander scale.
We took a walk south to some of the smaller
beaches of Tamarama and Bronte along the coastal path and had Baramundi and
chips on the beach like true British toursists before heading back to Sydney
Central. That night there was a moment
of fear as Matt somehow managed to change the combination on his padlock while
attached to his loker with all his stuff locked inside. After about 10 minutes of frantic attempts
then managed to crack his new combination; I laughed the entire time, no doubt
more Matt moments to come on this trip!
Met the coolest named dutch guy ever...Rocky Rodriguez
Boat tour day. Headed
to the harbour to catch a Captain Cook boat tour with Rocky, good views etc.
North Sydney looks nice – bit greener. Ignored
the stop offs at the zoo, islands and
headed straight for the one with the recommended pub. Enjoyed a nice few beers and a bit of sun
burn.
Headed back to Sydney and saw a
street performance by a woman contortionist.
Sat and watched the cricket, tried to explain the rules to dutch Rocky
but gave up after a fair bit of confusion.
Cricket!! Day three of the final Ashes test and we got
tickets! Lots of barmy army around;
almost like a home game i should think. We managed to get the only seats
surrounded by aussies it would appear; good laugh though.
Watched Cook and Bell both get their
centruries in the sun so definately worth going. Nice to see the aussies get a
pasting!
