It was Sunday and we'd arranged to meet Natalie and Kathy, who we originally met on Turtle Island in Malaysia back in February. Natalie picked us up from our hotel and we headed out to Bondi. We had a walk around the thriving market; lots of jewellry and arts and crafts. We had lunch in a pizza place and afterwards Liam dared to go for a swim (it wasn't the warmest of days) although he got told off by a lifeguard for not swimming between the flags and we had to move along the beach. We saw a few Portugese Men of War jellyfish - Natalie called them bluebottles. Not to be stepped on.
Natalie kindly allowed a sandy and wet Liam back in her car for a drive up to The Gap, a favourite haunt for suicides, but with fantasic views over the sea and the city. There was a channel 9 helicopter there when we arrived and we watched a little boat down below being pursued by both a police and a coastguard boat. There was much excitement and Natalie made a report for the evening news.
We got back to Natalie and Kathy's place in time for the channel 9 news; turns out they weren't reporting on the sea chase at all, they were filming a piece on a recent death. So Natalie did film the exclusive after all.
We had a lovely, fun evening with Natalie and Kathy - we were too busy laughing to take any photos though, which is a shame.
