Sydney Beach Day #1 - The Sun Shines

What's that?  Sydney authorities have identified the object?  They're calling it...the SUN! It's so nice to have long sunny days again with sunsets around 7:30pm!

Praise the Sun!

We decided to visit one of the smaller beaches today - Bronte Beach since it was a quick trip on the bus.

 

We slathered on the sunscreen and enjoyed a great, relaxing day at the beach!  The water was much colder than we had gotten used to up in Port Douglas.  Funny, the difference 1,500 miles makes!  Fortunately the water down here is too cold for the box jellyfish, so we were able to hop in the water and enjoy the big waves!

After a great afternoon at the beach, we hopped the bus back to our neighborhood.

We ended the day with a delicious dinner at Tandoori Palace.  At the end of dinner, they gave us some after-dinner alcohol and spices.  

We're not exactly sure what the spices are called, but they tasted fruity at first, followed by a very soapy aftertaste.  Not exactly the best flavor to end a delicious dinner with.  I think Brad's pursed lips below say it all...

Hurry up and down that alcohol, Brad!

Just a quick note to everyone reading to say, THANKS!  Yesterday we passed the total number of page views we had for our entire trip blog back in 2010, and today we're well over a hundred views past that. It's great to be able to share our trip with you all and we certainly appreciate you taking the time to journey with us!
