Beach Crowds then Booze Crowds (Sydney – Day 2)

We spent the afternoon checking out Sydney's famous Bondi Beach: terrific scenery, terrific waves, and terrific CROWDS!

That evening was the world famous NYE in Sydney. We were booked into a restaurant just south of the Harbour Bridge which gave us a break from the huddled masses on the streets outside and a great view of the impressive bridge fireworks.

Finding our way back to our bus in downtown Syndey in the first wee hours of 2008 was like something out of “28 Days Later” with car-less empty streets, garbage strewn everywhere, and random packs of drunks darting in and out of sight.
