This is Bondi

Some of you might be wondering where exactly we moved to in Sydney. Well, as you can see in the map below, we are in Bondi, in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney,… I love the location because it is 15 min walk to the beach and 15 min walk to a huge modern shopping center.



For those unfamiliar, Bondi is a famous surf beach. It is quite large (so we can all fit on the top of each other), with a large green area perfect for picnics and BBQs. It is a bit different from other beaches I have known. No palm trees (We are going to burn!), no “chiringuitos” (bars/terraces) along the beach (You have to burn your feet to get to the other side of the road), no 30 degrees water temperature (this is not the Caribbean) and no topless is allowed (sorry but what did you think? we are in a very civilized country). Alcohol is also not allowed (obviously legislators do not enjoy a pinacolada perverting at the girls/boys). It does have some excellent features: lots of muscled surfers (excellent to keep healthy eyes… and to realize how unfit we are), lots of cafeterias, terraces and restaurants, a couple of natural pools (with sea water). It is clean and organized. It has a lovely coastal walk to other beaches with gorgeous views. The best: we live near!!



We are still in winter, so we have not been able to taste it. We cannot complain, as temperatures have been around 15-18 degrees, depending if the sun was in or out. Quite often we enjoy sunny days with an intense blue sky that reminds me of Spain. At the moment, we are discovering the city… enjoying being together. :-)
