pictures from Bondi

Growing up on the Jersey Shore, David Speck moved to Sydney a little over 2 years ago and is working as a chef in classy places all over the continent. He doubles as the welcoming committee for all the people visiting and studying in Australia.
We met up on a Sunday at Circular Quay, where all the ferries come into Sydney. He then he drove me down to Bondi beach near where he lives. We walked around there then did the cliff walk that goes around to Tamarama and Bronte beaches. Incredible. Picture miles and miles of shores of cliffs with beaches scoop cut into them. Gorgeous. Got some lunch from a cafe he knows the owners of, then walked back as a huge squal line was coming in. It went from sunny to seeing a wall of rain, then dark. We took quick refuge under an overhang in the cliffs and watched the storm fly straight over us. IT was breathtaking. After grabbing a pint at a bar on the North end of Bondi and spotting an ice cream man David drove back to the ferry!
