Bondi and Coogee

On Saturday we went to the famous Bondi beach (pronounced bond-eye). We had breakfast at a beachside cafe, then spent the morning lying on the beach and swimming. It's a popular beach for surfers, and the waves are huge. So rather than just jumping over them, sometimes they come crashing down on your head, sweep you off your feet and you come up a while later somewhere else. There are lots of lifeguards, and apparently there are shark nets to keep the sharks out. After Bondi we did a 2 hour walk along the coast to Coogee. We went by lots of beautiful beaches and amazing houses perched on cliffs overlooking the ocean. The weather is perfect almost everyday (25C and sunny), the scenery is fantastic and the water is clear with only the occasional great white shark :-)
