30 January 2011 A Day At Bondi Beach

Today, we took a bus to Bondi Beach. It's only 28 degrees Celsius but it feels a lot hotter than that. Since it was almost noon, we decided not to go to the beach. After looking at the clothes at the Bondi Beach flea market, we just sat for almost two hours at the shaded playground to let the boys release their enormous energy.

There were tons of useless and yet useful treasure there. The kids found a scoop, a toy shell (also used as a scoop), a pink beach ball (they can use it to kick around, who cares if it's pink) and a $0.20 coin. They are very observant children.
