A Day At The Beach

Today we had a free day and a few of us took an hour bus ride to a beach called Coogee. It’s on the coast a little bit south of downtown Sydney. The weather was not great and it sprinkled for most of the day but that meant that we got almost the whole beach to ourselves. We climbed over some rocks to some tide pools and found an awesome swimming hole along the side of the beach. It was un-real, huge waves were crashing over the rocks. The water here is so clear and fresh, nothing like Puget Sound.

Another interesting thing that I have noticed about Australia is that, of course, the cars drive on the wrong side of the road. However, this means that while walking on the sidewalk people also walk on the wrong side of the path because that’s how cars do it. Am I making sense? I have been trying to train myself to walk to the left so as not to walk into the nice Aussie’s on the street…
