15 graus a chegada nao era o que estava a espera, especialmente para o fim da primavera. Mas afinal as alteracoes climaticas tambem chegaram a australia e os tres meses que por aqui passamos nao trouxeram as ondas de calor de que estava a espera.
2 dias em Bondi, com precos a condizer com a fama e la encontramos um pequeno apartamento em Randwick, perto de Bondi e Coogee, 2 das praias mais famosas em Sydney. Um mes sem mexer malas. Relaxe ao bom estilo australiano.
Another 8 hours in a plain and we where in the land of Oz. 15 degrees celsius was not in the expectations, especially with spring coming to an end. During the 3 months the scorching australian days barely made an apperance. Climate changes after all are global.
After 2 days in Bondi with matching prices with the fame, we found a small flat in Randwick, between Coogee and Bondi. A full month without packing bags. Just relax and a few in between.
Ola a todos! Estou do outro lado do mundo. Como vai o trabalho e o Inverno por Portugal？:))))))Hi everyone! This is the other side of the world. How is the work back there? :))))))
As atracoes do costume foram preenchendo as horas de ocio que foram uma constante da estadia em Sydney. O porto com a Ponte e Casa da Opera. Um espetaculo de cabaret com uma cantora irlandesa na Casa da Opera. O zoo com todos os animais exoticos, incluindo o canguru e koala. Os jardins botanicos. A torre de Sydney. As diversas praias, etc, etc.
The usual attractions and touristy things were fillings the the spaces of boredom and relax. Sydney Harbour with the Bridge and Opera House. The Taronga Zoo with all the animals including the Koala and Kangoroo. The Botanic Gardens. The Tower of Sydney. The different beaches, etc, etc.
Nao podia no entanto deixar Sydney sem experimentar o surf...Praia de Maroubra, reserva de surf nacional, 8:00 da manha. Com resmas de surfistas de todas as idades estao a acabar o dia na praia e a prepararem-se para mais um dia de trabalho, a coisa(surf) nem correu mal. Nas 2 horas da aula consegui apanhar um punhado de ondas e por varias vezes por-me de pe na prancha. Nada mal, nao? Voltei a fazer mais 3 aulas na Sunshine Coast mas a evolucao de principiante para expert nao aconteceu...valeu a pena e quem sabe se com mais umas tentavivas e mudo de profissao.
I couldn't leave Sydney without trying to surf... Maroubra beach, national surf reserve, 8am. With the beach full of all ages surfers leaving their waves to go to work, the class went very well. After two hours of being bashed around by waves the result was positive and I had managed to catch a few waves and stand on the board almost every one of them. I tried again a few more classes in the Sunshine Coast but the evolution from begginer to professional didn't happen... maybe after a few more times and i will be ready to career change.
