Extra Long Weekend


Unfortunately the whirlwind Bondi trip has concluded, but it was jam packed with fun activities - in retrospect, mostly food related. Typical. We ate at Bodhi Bar (SYD CBD), Spoons Vegetarian Butcher (Newtown) and Mad Hatter Cupcakery (Broadway) - all of which I've been before but are definitely worthy of revisits. There was an impromptu dragon dance at Bodhi bar given it's the Lunar New Year celebrations this weekend, I've developed a respect and appreciation for the craft - notably the dancer at the back, hunched over at at 90 degree angle for the duration of the performance....
Went to Bondi beach for the first time ever today (I just had been feeling so very UNAUSTRALIAN) - it's impressive and was certainly packed out. We opted for swimming in the sea-pools at Icebergs instead, which I'm told is a bit of an institution too so I felt less of a wuss. Top weekend with my beloved Burn Streeters.

On the road to Dapplewood.

The Iceberg at Bondi - where the beach fearing crowd congregate...


I stayed in the house of a stranger. It was nice, though.





I so wish I'd bought more of these so I could hand out bottles of delicious icy Karma Cola at the most hilarious and opportune moments.
