Day 7

Bondi Beach



When I lived in Sydney before, I stayed by the world famous Bondi Beach. Though the beach front is crawling with tourists and backpackers, Bondi’s back streets are filled with wonderful cafes and bars only known to the locals. Like a miniature village within Sydney, Bondi has markets, cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs, the beach front, shops and supermarkets – all within walking distance. Strolling around in the beaming sun reminded me how much I enjoyed living there. There seem to be numerous positive developments in the last year too. I met a friend for lunch at Moo. Moo burgers really are delicious!

In the evening I went to see The Iron Lady. It is a very interesting film and certainly encourages you to sympathise with Margaret Thatcher in her old age, perhaps even feel sorry for her. Conversely, the film stirred a feeling in me that I had not expected – admiration. I felt quite inspired by Margaret Thatcher‘s determination. Portraying Thatcher with a masterful delicacy is Meryl Streep. She really is a phenomenal actress.
