Day 3: Bondi Beach

It was a lovely sunny day so we thought we would like to visit the coast.  What is the probably the most famous beach in the world? Yes you are right...Bondi Beach.  Where is Bondi beach? Only 6 km from the centre of Sydney.

So, early this morning Mrs Booth & I walked to Central Quay, which is very close to Opera house, and bought tickets to travel to Bondi on the bus.  Travelling on a bus is something that I don't do very often so I was quite looking forward to the journey.  All the buses in the New South Wales have started to use an electronic ticketing system which means that you can't just walk onto the bus amd buy a ticket.  You have to pre- buy your tickets from a newsagent or an official  ticket kiosk.  We found an official ticket kiosk quite close to where we needed to catch the bus.

The journey took about 30 minutes taking us through some of the different suburbs of Sydney.  A lot of them are named after places in London such as Paddington and we passed a lovely park called Hyde Park just like the one in Central London.

Bondi Brach is famous for the amount of surfers who go there to enjoy the waves.  When we arrived at Bondi there were not too many waves so we decided to follow the coastal path to Tomaloola.  

Tomaloola is a very pretty beach just around the headland from Bondi

After lunch we walked back around the headland to Bondi and we pleased to see that that there were lots of people on the beach and in the sea.

Sadly I had forgotten to pack my wet suit so I had to settle for a walk along the beach! :-)
