Whales and Dolphins....tick!!!

It feels like summer is coming. After many disappointing cold and wet weekends, finally it was lovely!
For the first time in Sydney I saw dolphins at Bondi Beach. There was a pod of them swimming and playing around in the sea not too far away from the sand. They were jumping out of the water only a few meters away from the surfers. It was absolutely fantastic to watch them. 
Believe it or not, I also saw a whale's spout from my balcony...very lucky!! It would shoot up a few metres into the air and then get taken away in the wind. It was so amazing and will be in my memory for a very long time! 

Dolphins at Bondi Beach

On Saturday the sun was out called for us to get out of bed early.  Some friends and I made our way to the Fish Markets in Pyrmont.
The walk from Darling Harbour to the market is very nice, especially when the weather is as beautiful as it was on Saturday. We became a little bit lost on the way and stopped to ask directions from an old lady. Her response was "follow the smell". So we did and found ourselves at the heart of the fishy smell. The market is very impressive. There are huge (and for me exotic) fish and they are much cheaper than in the supermarket. 
We had a delicious seafood mix and found a space in between the crowds of people who were sitting on the waterfront enjoying their meal. 
For the first time in my life I tried an oyster... It was alright but I still prefer other seafood.

The rest of the afternoon we enjoyed the sun at Darling Harbour watching the people, chatting and having ice cream. It was a wonderful Sydney Saturday!

In the evening we had some drinks at a friends place and after that we all went to Kings Cross to party. We had a fun night at the Kings Cross Hotel until the early hours of the morning. 


Sunday was again a beautiful day and as soon as I got up I went down to Bondi Beach along with the rest of Sydney. After a little walk over the Bondi Market which is really lovely, some friends and I had a nice relaxing afternoon at the beach. The warm sand under our feet felt so good and to hear the massive waves while we relaxed on our towels made us feel like we were in paradise. As soon as the sun goes down, which is fortunately not that early any more, it becomes a bit chilly and too cold to sit on the beach. 


This Wednesday (19th) we have our next intern meeting at the Fringe Bar on Oxford St from 7pm.
I'm looking forward to seeing many of you there. 


Until then...
