Bondi Beach

Today we went back to Bondi for only the second time since we've been here - it's quite a trek from where we live and the journey can be quite congested, depending on the time of day, plus parking can also be a problem. So this time we decided to use public transport.

Laura had gone to the Easter Show with friends, so the rest of us drove in 2 cars to Cremorne where the caught the ferry across the Circular Quay and were then able to directly catch a bus to Bondi. These are very regular and before long we were working our way through the City and out to the East - the journey took about 50 minutes and we were deposited on the south side of the beach.

The weather was great - sunny but not too hot - and the sea was warm (warmer than the pool now), so we had a good few hours 'sunbaking' and playing in the surf. The waves and currents weren't too strong but still provided plenty of entertainment. We then caught the bus, ferry and cars back to the house in time for an evening meal.

Sue and I went off to our regular tennis session in the evening which was OK, although there was a low turnout due to the Easter holiday and also possibly because the nights are starting to get cooler - there was a chill in the air tonight and the balls were getting damp from condensation. However, we're still keen to play through the Autumn and Winter if we can, but we've yet to see what the weather will get like in the coming months.
