sydney! (sunday)

sunday we headed out early to get to the beach.  and of course with our luck, it was the only day over the weekend we didn't have beautiful, warm weather.
it was rainy and cold. :(
but we still were able to go on walking tour around bondi beach, the famous beach of australia.
it's where all the surfers go.  there is a show on television here about bondi beach, that records the life of the lifeguards there while they are on the job.  it's a really dangerous ocean, the waves are huge.  they literally save multiple peoples lives there everyday.  it seemed pretty calm when we were there though, and there weren't many people out because of the weather.
at the end of our beach walk, we had a late lunch.  one of the managers of the tour company we were with owns a house on bondi beach, and we went there for hotdogs.  
some of us sat out on the beach and watched one hardcore volleyball game..they were so good!  
but, then, it started to rain again, bummer.  so we all crammed into the house until the rain let up.
we drove over to another beach and pretty much just wandered around the city for a few hours (there was lots of free time because was to lay out on the sunny beach..oh well..).  
then, we got some dinner, and headed back to melbourne at 8pm.
needless to say, i knocked out the whole 13 hour bus ride back!
what an AMAZING weekend though!  i'm glad i was able to stay energetic and awake the whole weekend and enjoy the experience!
i would LOVE to back to sydney again before i leave!  :)
