Bondi Here We Come 22nd November 2013

Took an early morning visit to the Fish Market. A little disappointing really. Lots of sea food on display but not many people / visitors. Tokyo market was a lot more interesting.
After breakfast we had a look around Darling Harbour. The maritime museum was most interesting with many outdoor exhibits including Vietnamese fishing vessels and a replica of the Endeavour as sailed by Captain Cook.

In the afternoon caught a bus to Coogee Beach and then walked up to Bondi Beach passing Clovelly, Bronte and Tamarama on the way. Bondi surf appeared quite tame in comparison with that at Tamarama. We needed to rush the walk however to get ahead of an approaching storm. The storm hit just after 17:00 - luckily we back in our appartment by then. Lightening when viewed from the 12th floor can be quite impressive

  1. The Endeavour looks very impressive, though still not sure I would have fancied taking on the world in her.
