Bondi & Sydney
October 6, 2006

Located on a quiet back street in Bondi, is Christine's apartment.

just a 10 minute walk from popular Bondi Beach
[Christine, me]

a very popular surf beach


The surf rescue guys wear easily distinguishable hats...

...and today they're practicing boat rescue.

It's only October - early spring down here. In a few months, this beach will be packed...!

Me, leaning into the unusually high winds on a Bondi back street.

market day on Oxford Street, Bondi

a sunny morning on the balcony

30 minutes bike ride away lies Hyde Park in downtown Sydney

The downtown marina where Christine's friends keep their boat

Paddy's Market, a huge craze of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

the quite famous Sydney Opera House...where I will be singing Handel's Messiah later this year!
