Monday after WYD

Today was a liberating day, when I didn’t have any set plans. We had to be out of our rooms by 9am, but where we were to go we didn’t know, so I went with the flow. Our group decided to first go to the Sydney tower, which is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere, one sign said it is as tall as 60 giraffes! It gave us spectacular 360 degree views of the city. The day was wonderful for this. There was no clouds in the sky, even though we had heavy rain during the night. We spend good hour up there, waiting to go to OzTreck, which is some 3D show. It was taking too long, so when we realize we can use the same ticket to do it tomorrow, we decided to leave. The group went to McDonalds, and I went to an Aboriginal store to get a dijeridoo, and I met them after the lunch. We then all went to Bondi beach, a very famous beautiful beach. It was cold and windy, but sunny. Some people dipped their feet in water, but there was some brave ones who were swimming in their regular swimming suits. Crazy if you ask me. We hang out at the beach for a while, laid on a lawn and watched a plane write “grazia” in the sky twice. Then we head back to the city, took another bus to our neighborhood, and ate dinner at a Portuguese restaurant. Wonderful food after a week of pilgrim food.
Tomorrow we go to the Blue Mountains.
