A very Sydney weekend!

G'day,


another fun weekend has flown by. On Friday we went to Bondi Beach and just relaxed in the sun for a while. Some of my German friends from home moved to Sydney last week so I played the tour guide and showed them some of my favourite places. I love the coastal walk from Bondi to Bronte on a sunny day and we also went to watch the free Darling Harbour fireworks. 
Friday night we had a BBQ with our flatmates and some of their friends which was so much fun.

On Saturday we went to Paddington Markets. It's a great place to shop for clothes, jewellery, photography, art and other nice things. It is on Oxford Street in Paddington. 


Paddington Markets

Don't mix these markets up with Paddy's Markets....completely different! Paddy's are in China Town, Haymarket. You can shop for really cheap souvenirs, clothes, fruit and vegetables. It is very crowded and dark but you can grab a few good bargains.


Paddy's Market

There are a lot of good markets in Sydney to discover. For more information about the various local markets that Sydney has to offer click here.


Sunday we went to Bondi Beach once more and swam in the ocean for the first time. The water is cold once you step in but when you're in it is fantastic. 


Sunday afternoon we went to see the Royal Botanical Garden. Unfortunately it closes at 6.30pm so we couldn't spend a long time there. From the Botanical Garden there is a perfect view of the harbour, Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Very nice...


Gardens

Next weekend is the Surf Camp and I am really excited about it. I hope the weather will be good.... The weather forecast announced sun and I hope it will be right at least this one time.


Don't forget about the time shift this weekend. Sunday 3am Australia will change their clock one hour backwards.

Time change

Have a good week!

until then...
