Beach!

Finally made it to a beach!!! woke up around 11, and it was off to Bondi Beach... wow, 30 minutes outside of the city and absolutely stunning. This city reminds me so much of Canada... some areas are like Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary... it's uncanny... and then there are things that are just Sydney... like having numerous beaches close to the city, excellent harbour views... wow... walked across Bondi, did a bit of a trek up some rocks.. then headed back and over to Suicide Cliff, apparently where a lot of suicides take place... they have a sign there with crisis line numbers... but guess what? no bloody phone... I'm thinkin, if I was gonna kill myself... what if I didn't bring my mobile? what if I didn't have any credit left... and I WANTED to call for help... hell that would be the last straw... prob would push me to jump... go figure eh?
So me being the idiot that I am... what do I do? I jump over the protective fence that they have and decide to walk to the edge of the rocks... it's a looooong way down... pretty awesome feeling though... jumped another fence a ways down and dangled my legs off the rock... got some cool pics, it was at least 100 feet if not more to the water and crushing waves below :)
headed over to Watsons Bay, ate some seafood by the pier, checked out a few seagulls with red feet and beaks... saw some cute kids playing... awww ...
took off from there and saw some of the suburbs, saw an amazing sunset over Sydney. Salima was kind enough to make Dinner... yummy lamb chops and shrimps and rice... damn good food... watched Hum Tum and Desperate Housewives... and it was back to the hostel ... tiem for bed.. hopefully I'm able to get a full day out tomorrow.
