Sydney etc

Today i met up with Ian, my family friend and contact in Australia (the story is far too complicated to explain), around noon who showed me around his beautiful home (not far from where we live). They have the most amazing view from their top balcony.
Ian was extremely hospitable and took me for a drive towards Watson's Bay to show me where he first came to fall in love with Australia. I quickly understood why... The small stretches of beach mixed with the buzz of an old fishing village was the perfect location in Sydney and explains why some of Sydney's most expensive houses are located here.

When we got back to Bondi Beach we had lunch at Speedo's Cafe. It has the best view over the beach and the food wasn't bad either. Seeing as Ian knows the owners and has been a regular for a great number of years the experience with the staff was very pleasant. One of the owners already knows my name!.. thanks Ian. I'll definately make a return visit, no doubt.

It was a great lunch with some interesting things to think about. I got some good advice and Ideas of what to do during our stay in Australia. It has been a great day so far.
