Mood: Physically tired
Music: Lots (Kings of Convenience - Riot on an empty street)
Today started early... (how many of these posts have started with those words?) After watching the sun go down while in a surfing lesson on Bondi beach last night, I got up to go have a surfing lesson while the sun came up. I got a nice early morning photo at about 6:20am from the beach.
The lesson itself was pretty good again. I was on a massive plank of a board but that did mean that I could stand up pretty easily and managed to ride a couple of waves from just after they'd broken all the way into the beach. I finished the session very tired after not sleeping too well and then trudging out through the waves and the swell for almost two hours.
After that I went back to the backpacker place for a warm shower and to change. Once I had cleaned up I went back to the beach with my camera to take photos of the decent surfers and also of, Lauren, a girl from Birmingham I'd met on my lesson the previous morning.
At the end of her lesson I hopped on a bus to go back to the city and find a hotel for the night. After lunch we met up and went on the ferry over to Manly to have a look at the beach and sit down to have something to eat. The ferry on the way back gives some pretty impressive views of the harbour bridge but for us this was most obscured by a cruise lined turning around in the way. Lauren and I said goodbye when the ferry landed as she was meeting her sister for dinner. I spent the rest of the evening taking photos of the bridge and of the opera house before and after sunset.
On return to the hotel I pretty much fell straight asleep.
That would be the end of that day then!
