Happy Bondi

Bondi is a city  beach with a lovely ocean pool positioned right on the point.  It has a real strong European feel, almost like a beach of Olympians.  All dressed in boardies/bikinis and santa hats.  No thoughts of peeling sprouts or stuffing the bird here. oh no.  The mood was definitely one of 'lets relish a hotter christmas'.

We dropped off the rollerboot/hire car and got the train back into the city which gave us great views over Circular Quays and 'the bridge'.  It's said that when in downtown Sydney the bridge seems to be peering between the buildings almost keeping a watchful eye on all below.

On-route home we popped into a couple of downtown shops, you know for those last minute bits an bobs, and you couldn't help but feel that even Sydney, on this sun drenched afternoon, was starting to panic given that the big day was almost upon us.
Back in chilled Balmain we stopped off for a well enjoyed drink.  Actually out, you know a drink in a bar!!  Oh that first sip tasted good.  As the sun dipped over the queenlander terrace we toasted the last 5 months as 'the bridge' peered through the Balmain skyline.
