Today we decided to re-visit Bondi... But this time it wasn't to spend the day on the beach. Instead we were headed to Bondi to play lawn bowls.. Yep I know what you're all thinking.. "that's an old mans sport Joe!" Well apparently it's really big in Aus and we were told through out our travels that you HAVE to play lawn bowls whilst in Aus. So we walked all over Bondi looking for this 'legendary bowls green' and we walked past some guy who I recognised.. Lewis, Tom and myself all looked at eachother, then it clicked... PSYCHO SAM! he wasn't dressed as a robot so maybe thats why we struggled to recognise him. We finally found the bowls green and I gave a look like 'Is this seriously one of the must do's of Australia?!' I think the guy who owned the place was pretty shocked 3 young English backpackers had turned up to play lawn bowls but hey..
We started playing and had a little match between the three of us and I won! (of course) but It was a good laugh and we did enjoy it.. Don't think we're quite at a professional standard yet though.. We went back to the bowls 'clubhouse' and got a few beers in and watched the super 15 rugby highlights.
We then got the bus back to Hyde park. It rained while we were on the bus but stopped as we got off and we were treated to a great sunset over the city! We got back to the hostel and Tom and Lew went off to prepair dinner for us while I sorted some photos out on my camera in our dorm. Two new girls arrived and I had the general backpacker chat with them and they seemed like a good laugh So we arranged to all go out for drinks the following night.
