Sydney, third day

I am wet, :(

although the day began with such a great weather. I moved into my new flat today (which went rather fast, with only one suitcase...), afterwards I went off to Bondi Beach!

But later in the afternoon, clouds suddenly formed, and while I was still in the water, it began to rain so heavily, that one could hardly see anything! I was fun, though. Unbelievable, how quickly such an overcrowded beach can become empty!

Later the sun came out again only for a short period of time. I did not go swimming anymore though. Fortunately, since suddenly a heap of people ran to the lifeguards and children cried - They got stung by a jellyfish, the so called "bluebottle", which apparently burns rather strongly.

Just as I wanted to go home then, I met another few Australians, busy playing Capoeira Angola. Then next two hours or so I was allowed to accompany them on a Pandeiro (similar to a tambourine drum).

On the way home it started to rain again, so that I had to take shelter first. However, I could use the time meaningfully and attach lights to my bicycle, which I needed then urgently.

Now I am in the PC room of the university and am already nearly dry again... However, I have to go now, since I really have to eat something!
