This has been our last full day in Sydney (we think as our flight has not yet been confirmed!). We had spent the week preparing so ‘tanned and toned’ (no pictures) we made our way to Bondi Beach. Regrettably it was raining so the beach was virtually deserted!! We nevertheless strolled along the front and marvelled at the few hardy surfers trying to manage waves no more than a couple of feet high (there was also virtually no wind). There was also some striking ‘Pop Art’ on the sea wall with a couple commemorating locals lost in the Bali bombings. Bondi Beach is actually quite small but it is pristine; smoking is not permitted on the beach and we saw no litter. There were a few people out ‘training’ including the obligatory fit and leggy blond beauty (to keep Ben happy)! We then returned to the City and spent the afternoon in the Museum of Sydney. This was very interesting and had a lot of material about the early days – we had not realised that as well as being chucked off the Bounty, Captain Bligh was also removed from his post as Governor by another mutiny!! There was also a section on the Great Depression which was also very informative. We are going to go to China Town again tonight as it is a great place to visit with lots of options for eating out. Hopefully we will see you all after our return on the 1st April.
