Bat Fight Among The Palm Trees


We woke up on Wednesday, the 13th and traveled to Sydney's Chinatown down in the Haymarket.  (Mai: "Chinatown here is not as good as New York City Chinatown.  There are no hole-in-the-wall dumpling places.  It's less Asian.") We picked up some new sunglasses for a cheap $10 and made our way to Bondi Beach.


Bondi Beach was beautiful.  We walked along the water and then scaled the rocks that jutted off the coast.  The water was a little crisp, but it was clean and refreshing.  It was pretty cloudy most of the time there, with some spots of sun here and there.  It was quite windy, so we didn't get a chance to pass the volleyball around.  We DID try the two fast food places there: Oporto and Hungry Jack's.  Verdict is the fries at the former and the burger at the latter.


So we've been lagging on the posts due to limited internet time, but it seems we've finally caught up with the present.  It's one in the morning here on the 14th.  We braved the rainy weather not too long ago and walked from our hostel to the Sydney Opera House, only to decide that while it looks really cool at night, we need to come back in the day time.  Seeing as we are leaving early tomorrow morning for New Zealand, I guess that means we are coming back on our way home.  Until next time, Sydney.


Oh, you might be wondering about the meaning of this post's title.  On the walk home from the opera house, we literally saw two bats fighting while flying among the palm trees.  It was pretty cool.
