Another day, another adventure.
We started the day with a poached eggs on toast breakfast with Emily at a local eatery about 50m up the road from the hotel (Called : 22 Grams).
We walked with her to the university so she could head off on a science demo troupe road trip through southern NSW.
We then drove to and parked at Clovelly Beach so we could enjoy the Coastal Walk along the headlands and inlets to Bondi Beach.
Along the way we saw a huge queue of people (photo left) and John commented that the last time he'd seen a queue like that they were giving out free pies! Unfortunately this wasn't the case here but we did get to see many of the Sculptures by the Sea which were dotted along the coast from Tamarama to Bondi. (If you have seen the Dulux Paint ad you'll recognise the Surf Club on the left). It was great to see the nippers in competition at Bronte Beach.
There were more than a hundred sculptures created by some very creative artists. In the interests of you not spending several hours looking at photos, we've just included a sample of what we saw. John thought the thong was particularly humorous and thought it must have been a big person to loose a thong that big.

For anyone is planning on buying real estate here in Sydney, our advise is to start saving now. Emily told us that the other half of the duplex in which she lives sold at auction recently for $1.8m. Yep. 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 0 car space, 1/2 duplex. Insanity!!!
Seen today: A pawnbrokers called Happy Hockers; amazing stained glass in a church near our hotel; fabulous weather in the morning.
