Christmas Aussie Style

So I got to Sydney and had a couple of days before Christmas so I went surfing one day down Bondi beach which was fun but tiring. I actually have a couple more lessons booked, so may be ok by the time I get to the East Coast later in 2007.

On Christamas Eve I headed over to a friend of my friend Uli's who has a flat near Coogee Beach in Sydney. The germans seem to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, so we pulled crackers, ate and drank a lot that evening which was fun. The next day we got up and it was a bit overcast, but at lunchtime it brightened up and we headed to the beach which had lifeguards who were wearing xmas hats as well, so that was fun. In the afternoon I headed to Bondi Beach and met up with some girls from my dorm, as I couldn't not be on Bondi at xmas. Much more beer was drunk and we ended up in a bar filled with people (many Brits I think) in dodgy santa hats much like the one I was wearing. I may just add the only reason I kept it on in the evening was because by that point I had serious hat hair!

The next day I did manage to have a BBQ on the beach at Coogee which was fun, if a little cool in the evening!
