SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

Today we went on an afternoon excursion with Des, a really nice kiwi guy who works at our hostel. We took a bus to the suburb of Watson's Bay, near the entrance to Sydney Harbour, then walked to the beach at a secluded spot down the road called Lady Bay, with a nice view of the city across the water. Turns out it's a nude beach(!)--call me a prude, but I'll be damned if I was going to take off my swimmers. We then walked up the road to an overlook where we could see the tall cliffs at the harbor entrance, had some gelato, and caught the bus back to King's Cross.
