Sunburned in Bondi Beach

---

Hey everyone...
So what they say about the sun in Australia is true... It was a half cloudy half sunny day...in the end it was just sunny. Put SPF 30 sunscreen 3 times in 3 hours and got burned....Well I've seen worst but I'm pretty red right now and obvisouly, none of it is actually equal...Anyways, i guess it's part of the deal!! I'm putting lots of after sun cream to recover fully. Phil's happy i'll finally have a tan. I'd been avoiding the sun for the first 2 weeks, too intense. But the beach was kind of the place to tan, no?

So,Went to Bondi beach today which was a half hour bus ride from our hostel....Really nice beach with lots and lots of people....The waves were pretty big, which is perfect for surfing. I swam a little bit...Stayed close to the shore where the little kids were :p But there are lots of lifeguards looking after swimmers...Still, big waves scare me...They we're not THAT big but they were pretty powerful!

Anyways, we had fun and headed back to our hostel where we did our laundry....So much fun doing laundry in a hostel...Soap leftovers on our clothes, had to wash half of them again in the sink and of course, now it's 10 pm and none of them are dry. Tried to fix my "corde a linge" in the bedroom, but since it's an elastic rope and the walls are too far apart, the rope hit me on one of my sunburn...ouch...but we laughed big time...So now our roomates are going to find tons of clothes hanging everywhere in the room (we kind of forget about the whole corde a linge idea)...Poor them :p

Last night we jsut drank beer with people from the hostel and talked until 1 am...Learning about different places in OZ to go or not to go, really fun!!

Supposed to be a rainy/thunderstorm day tomorrow....we'll see what we'll do with that!!


Ciao everyone and thanks for writing!!! Thanks for calling Nycole, it was great to hear from you!! 😊
