Bondi Bucket List [On The Road: Sydney]

A must in Sydney is taking a stroll in the coastal walk, in my case I did it from Bronte to Bondi beach, nice exercise, lovely sunny day, and pretty relax Sunday. As soon as we got to Bondi a beer was necessary, you know for hydration purposes, so we ended having beers in The Bucket List, a bar eatery just a few metres from the beach, open every day, with a nice terrace and enticing menu. 

Bondi Beach
Got to the place, sat outside, in some sort of communal table, the friendly and curious Australians immediately engaged in conversation. After a couple beers, food was in order. My choice a bucket of fresh Queensland tiger prawns, with Iggy’s sourdough and mayo. 

The Terrace
Queensland Tiger Prawns
They were absolutely fantastic, fresh, bug, actually huge, great flavour, the only thing they needed was a touch of lime, the mayo was nicely executed, a spicy touch to complete the dish. 

Prawn Time
Great place to chill out, relax, eat, and obviously have a drink. 

Prawns and shrimps remind me the Seinfeld episode “The Comeback” 

George: Sometimes in life, the gods smile upon you, my friends 
Jerry: Did you get someone to take that Canadian quarter? 
George: I got another meeting with Reilly. A whole new audience and I bet I can get him to try that line again 
Elaine: Who's Reilly? 
Jerry: George was scarfing shrimp at this meeting, and this guy says hey, George, the ocean called. They're running out of shrimp 
George: Listen to the comeback. Oh yeah? Well the jerk store called, they're running out of you... What? You got to be kidding me? 
Elaine: How about this one? How about, your cranium called. It's got some space to rent 
George: What does that mean? 
Jerry: Hey, here you go. Hey, Reilly. The zoo called, you're due back by six 
George: No. No, no, no. You're not helping me 
Kramer: Look, just tell him you had sex with his wife. That'll kill him 
George: I'm not looking for another line. I got the line 
Kramer: Look, George, just think about it. You know, you're married, how would you feel if somebody says to you that they just had sex 
George: Alright, alright. You see? This is why I hate writing with a large group. Everybody has their own little opinions, and it all gets homogenised, and you lose the whole edge of it. I'm going with jerk store! Jerk store is the line! Jerk store! Yes!

A Visit to my Sydneysider Friends [On The Road]

No I'm not misspelling apparently that’s how you formally call Sydney inhabitants, the most populous city in Australia, established in 1788 as a penal colony. A place with mild winters and warm summers, with amazing beaches, and a cosmopolitan vibe. 

Sydney Opera House
Things not to miss are, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, have a stroll at the great coastal walk, enjoying sunbathing in any of the amazing beaches or take a surf lesson in the iconic Bondi Beach, have breakfast in any of the cafes around town, go for drinks in Surry Hills, go take a panoramic picture at the AMP tower also known as Sydney Tower, spend a lazy day walking around Hyde Park and the Royal Botanic Garden, eating and drinking in The Rocks to enjoy 19th century warehouse converted into posh restaurants.

I had a great time there, and my friend Gian was a superb host and tour guide. 

Yesterday was Father's day I couldn't but remember the Seinfeld episode “The English Patient” 

Izzy: What are you doing here? 
Jerry: Mr Mandelbaum, I just wanted to come by and tell you how sorry I was that you hurt yourself 
Izzy: What the hell is that? 
Jerry: What? 
Izzy: That shirt. You think that you are the number one dad? 
Morty: This was a gift from my son 
Izzy: Oh, I see how it works now. He knocks me out to commission, so you can strut around in your fancy number one shirt. Well, I'll show you who's number one 
Jerry: Mr Mandelbaum, please 
Izzy: It's go time... Ahh, My back. I can't move 
Morty: Call an ambulance 
Jerry: I think I saw one a couple doors down
