Bondi excursion...

Everyone got up early this morning for the excursion to explore the famous Bondi Beach. Took the train at Central Station and then a bus to the beautiful beach.  The view from the top of the Notts Ave. took all of our breath away (even the boys!). We walked down to check out the Bondi Icebergs Swim Club and its saltwater pools.  Water temperature was actually quite nice, and the views from the pool deck made everyone speechless.  As far as I can remember, this is the first place out of all the places we have visited so far in Sydney where the boys actually didn't want to leave (but I wonder if it was because of the beautiful views or because of the good-looking biniki-wearing Aussie girls there).  Heehee... We took many pictures and the kids really enjoyed looking at the waves.

We made it back to the hotel right on time for check-out, and was able to get a minivan this time for the airport ride.  The one we took at arrival few days ago was so small that we literally had to pile all luggages onto Albert (who thought he could get the whole row of seat but ended up with luggages over him).  Checked in half hour ago at the airport and now we are just waiting to go through the security check point for our flights.  Zack will be on a different flight from the rest of us but we both take off and land pretty much at the same time.  Got some free wifi at the airport so everyone is on either computer or iPod Touch or whatever we have.  The boys are editing their dancing video taken this morning and I will be able to load it up for you guys later as soon as they finish and upload to my computer.  They are very good but man, these crazy boys, they just won't stop dancing for one second. 

Well, have to stop here and more to come later after we land in Brisbane.  The kids will meet their host families today and then start their Aussie home experience, and I am truly truly truly ready to give them away.  My vacation will start as of tonight.  Yeah!!! Tomorrow morning is our first morning practice and I can't wait to see everyone's faces at 4:45 am... Have a great day and chat to you all later.

It is absolutely beautiful

The boys didn't want to get on the beach
because they don't want to
be seen as tourists. Dah...
