Explore your backyard - Sydney

Day 2 and a such beautiful day! We headed into the CBD for some retail therapy (mostly window shopping) and high tea. My favourite place to shop is always the Queen Victoria Building, so beautiful! Further down the road we found the cutest little cafe, The Tea Salon. They served the most amazing variety of scones and tea - I went with lavender scones and eucalyptus black tea. Yum! After a big day of window shopping and catching up, it was the perfect pitstop to recharge our batteries before the bus ride home. 

...And then the sun was setting on my weekend in Sydney and I was back to the airport and back to Brisbane before I knew it! 

There are some very beautiful/cool/crazy things to see, wherever you are, if you just look for them!

Bondi Beach

We arrived at Bondi at midday and lunched at Lush on Bondi. It's the best place for people watching (and Lifeguard watching, if you're a fan of Bondi Rescue) and is right across from the main beach, at the end of the Pavillion. We shopped the stores and markets along the main street and then headed up to walk the cliffs. (There is also an amazing trail along the cliffs from Bondi to Bronte that I would recommend if you like a longer walk/hike. The most beautiful scenery and a great angle to see the beaches, homes and natural beauty of the area.) Bondi esplanade is much smaller than you would expect and has a nice, small town feel and a relaxing vibe.

Bondi Beach on a Friday afternoon. (Can you see the Bondi lifesavers down there?! We caught a bit of them filming for the next season of Bondi Rescue)

The top of the hill is a great place to soak up the sunshine

The pools at Bondi Icebergs Club at the Southern end of the beach (there's also one at the Northern   end of the beach)
