We’re still playing catch-up with the Blog, having left Sydney in a very successful rush to grab our weather window and being either out of contact or busy since. There are a few blogs to come of our time in Sydney before I can get up to date.
While in Sydney the crew of VS just had to visit the world famous Bondi Beach, a suburb of the city. Here it is, busy as ever but uncharacteristically quiet with a flattish sea:

And here is the southern end of it with a nice outdoor pool:

Nice beach but not really special, and the town behind it is a dump. It really doesn’t deserve its iconic status.
And here, only in Australia, is the bendi-bus back to Sydney with soaking wet surfer in wet suit and complete with enormous surf board. His friend, also in wetsuit with board, is obscured behind him as are a couple of girls in swimsuits:
