Jenice's Bday and the Eastern Coastel Walk

So our first weekend in Sydney, and its my old school mate Toby Bellingham's finance's Birthday. So we hot foot it over to the Sydney sailing club in Abbotsford. A beautiful place overlooking about 6 bays which are all around us, through a wall of glass which is on one side of the building. Luckily for us, is a sunny 21C with clear blue sky's, so it just cant be any better! There to meet us with Toby and Jenice, was little Isla, who popped out into this world only 10 weeks before. After a lovely day making new friends and sampling Sydney's wine and food, we felt we needed to actually do some exercise.

Since landing back in April in the UK, I have had one 'dry' day, that's about a month and a half of drinking, and lets not talk about the food in France! So as the weather was again blistering, Jude, Hannah, and I started off from Coogee and walked north along the eastern coastal walk. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but it was a nice reminder that we were in Australia. After making it to Bondi we had to sample the local fish and chips, which Jude would describe as YUM! Then as we watched the sun go down, a bottle of vino was shared..... perfect!

Isla looking to get served as she wants a piece of the action!

Probably the nicest bowling green in the world at Clovelly. Bowling is very popular with everybody over here, as its seen as more a social game to play with friend whilst having a few drinks or two!

Jude and Hannah at the open sea baths in Bronte (where the super rich live)

A great surfing beach at Tamarama

Our first glimpse of Bondi. Even though Jude and I have been to Sydney before, we never made it here, which is crazy when you see how amazing it is.

Even more surprising about Bondi is how wide and deep the beach is, which is quite unusual for Australia!
