last nite down unda

spent an awesome day at the beaches. went from Bondi to tamarara to bronte to cogee to gordons bay. quite a walk. We didn't stay at bondi but stopped at tamarara and laid out on the rocks. I went into the water and got beat up. The waves are for surfing for sure. There were three rescue guys yelling at the people to only go in up to their waists and to stay between the flags which were only about 20 feet apart ( I kid you not). After that we walked to bronte and swam in the rock pool. It is basically a pool carved out of rock that is filled with sea water and the waves crash over the wall and splash into the pool. Met a local who swore that getting smashed in the face was the greatest thing about the pool. Tried it and disagreed. Walked to cogee and had a few beers and moved on to Gordons beach. My initial intention was to go snorkeling but it just wasn't in the cards. Bought gear at a store in Bondi Junction but it was a kids size and the flippers were too small for my big giant size 10 feet and the mouthpiece was missing as well. Tried not to flip out too much about that, got a little dose of Zen going on... all in all a beautiful last day here. Hopefully we will be on a plane tomorrow coming home, have to fly standby so we will see. Had THE best thai food again tonight waiting on the floor beneath me and the computer. gotta git. thanks for staying with me.
