New Years Day and beach

New Year's Day 1st January and start of 2013 woke up at 7 but luckily went back to sleep and got up at 9am instead. Was only me and Sarah up at this time the others didn't all surface til 11, Debbie was the first up at 10.30. Wasn't sure what the plans were for today had mentioned about going to Bondi beach last night but others not keen. Debbie at work, Sarah off to meet her friend later on, Bianca and Gabs decided to just go to the beach but Nat had texted so off to meet her and Lou at Bondi. Caught the train with Sarah to the city and then got the bus from Hyde park straight to Bondi and got there at 13.30. Got to Bondi before Nat and Lou and first stop once we met was food went to Nikos had lamb wrap Lou had chicken Caesar salad with poached egg on which looked very nice. It was then time to hit the beach got to the beach at 15hrs and was very busy but got a good spot at top of beach not far from lifeguards hut. Nat and Lou went for a dip in sea and whilst there the alarm and had no idea what it was for but then realised as the shark alarm. So everyone had to get out of the sea whilst boats and helicopters lifeguard one and news 19 luckily there never found a shark so people could go back in after about 30 minutes. But it put me off going into the sea so I just stayed on the beach and finished my book, which was my aim for the day. We left the beach at 7 and went for a coffee when we left the buses were very busy so got the same bus as Nat and Lou to Bondi junction. Then I had to wait about 20 minutes for my next bus and eventually got home at 10 and couldn't wait to wash off the sand. Kat had texted and asked if saw Edel and said 'No' and realised that Edel had sent me the wrong no wonder I never got a reply.
