I could really get used to being woken up by the sun shining through the windows in the morning and it being nice most of the time. I think I am starting to finally fall in love with Australia. As it's another nice day, I think I will head over to Bondi Beach to see how it compares to yesterdays beaches at Manly.To get to Bondi Beach today I had to catch the train to Central Station then change on to the train to Bondi Junction. Then from the junction to t...
