New Year’s Day 2007
What is the coolest thing you can do on New Year’s Day in Sydney when everything is closed?? Why, a trip to the world-famous Bondi beach of course!
Bondi wasn’t too far from where we were staying, probably about 20 minutes journey on a train and bus. New Year’s Day was a beautiful sunny day, just perfect for a relaxing day on the beach to let the alcohol from the day before seep out of our bodies! The beach was busy but not as packed as I thought it might have been. We went straight onto the sea, which was quite cool at first compared to the tropics where we are. The waves were fantastic and pretty powerful; if you didn’t see them coming then you got bashed on the head and knocked off your feet by them. It was brilliant fun but very exhausting, I can see why they need so many lifesavers there. We have a show on TV here called Bondi Rescue so it was great to see the lifeguard building and beach for real, I was just hoping that the dreaded shark alarm would not go off while we were in the water! We had a nice sunbathe and finished the day off having burgers and chips on the beach for tea.
I was faced with a moral dilemma today as I inadvertently walked away from an ice-cream shop with three post-cards in my hand that I hadn’t paid for. I couldn’t take the guilt and walked back to confess my error and pay for them. Maybe I will be rewarded for this kind act by finding $50 on the floor somewhere?!
Bondi was brilliant, it’s another place I’ve always wanted to go to and to be there on the first day of 2007 was just perfect, we’ll definitely be back there again. Whilst we were on the beach we heard some live music from one of the buildings at the side of the beach, I recognised the band as Sneaky Sound System, an Aussie band who supported Robbie in Brisbane. We found out in the papers afterwards that it was a New Year’s Day party and Paris Hilton was there too!
