The Bondi Beach

I didn't really want to go very far this weekend but didn't want to not go anywhere either. I hadn't been to the Bondi Beach ever but didn't think I'd like it much anyway thinking it's always very crowded. I was in for a huge surprise.

When I got to the Bondi Beach on the 380 bus, I looked at the beach, saw all the people in it and just walked into the San Churro's overlooking the beach. I asked for a dark hot chocolate and she asked me if I'd like marshmellows with it.. I didn;t really wanted to.. but said I'd try it anyway.. The dark choc arrived with a huge dollop of whipped cream on top with marshmellows.. damn.. that was just way more sweetnezz than I could handle!

Just off the beach there's this heart shaped pool and skating area which is kinda cool.


I walked to the end of the beach near the rockpool. I couldn't really get to the rock pool from the place on the beach I was at but it was an amzing view of the big waves crashing in on the shore from there. Besides I stood on the rocks at the end and there was no wind so I could comfortably stand for a long time there.

I loved the beach. I was there till way after dark. It wasn't crowded where I was at all. It was like being surrounded by a lot of people and yet in absolute solitude with nothing but the sound of the waves all around me. Right in the heart of the crowded urbanland but still so close to the raw power of nature. I don't have any words to describe the serene beauty of the experience. Its definitely scratched the barrier in my head of being able to enjoy being at a beach closer to the city.
