As gift to our tired feet, today we did the hop on/hop off bus that took us all around Sydney and out to Bondi Beach.  The weather was gorgeous so sitting on the top of the double decker bus was a treat!  We saw many beautiful sights along the way, and decided to get off here and there. Our most notable stop was the

famous Bondi Beach, where we saw insanely tall waves and, owing to the high winds, ate some sand and got a Bondi Beach-style microdermabrasion treatment! We grabbed a bite to eat and a glass of wine at The Bucket List, which cracked us up.  THAT’s checked off our list!

We topped off the day with a dinner with Susie Howey and her daughter, Krysten. Susie and I worked together for many years. Imagine  our surprise when we learned we’d be in Sydney at exactly the same time! Japanese food, and plenty of wine and laughs, topped off by a nitrogen cooled “dragon’s egg” for dessert – fun!
