Blondynka w Australii: Tydzien 10/ Week 10

Swieta... Troche smutne, bo z dala od rodziny i przyjaciol, ale z innymi bliskimi osobami, ktore dbaly i dbaja o to, by bylo mi tu dobrze... Wigilia byla bardzo tradycyjna i polska (spedzona z Ela, jej siostra, malym Dominic'iem, Rogerem i jego rodzina), natomiast na lunch - pierwszego dnia Swiat - zostalam zaproszona do Carrie, gdzie wraz z jej mezem, rodzicami i przyjaciolmi "doswiadczylam" Swiat w prawie tradycyjnym australijskim stylu. "Prawie", bo planowalismy piknik, ale pogoda nieco nam w tym przeszkodzila :-( W Wigilie bylo 30 stopni, jednak pierwszy dzien Swiat okazal sie chlodniejszy i deszczowy :-/

Wykorzystujac czas wolny wybralam sie tez do Watsons Bay: przepiekne miejsce z urocza latarnia i miejscami na dlugie spacery. Choc znalazlam tez "minus" tamtejszych okolic - najladniejsza i nieco odosobniona plaza, ktora wydawal sie idealna, by sie nieco poopalac, okazala sie plaza dla naturystow :-/ I to w dodatku gejow (tak przynajmniej wyczytalam juz potem na internecie). Tylko dlaczego lezy przy Lady Bay? ;-) (Lady - pani)

Christmas... A bit sad, as far away from my family and friends, but with some other people who have looked after me and have done their best to make me feel good here... Christmas Eve dinner was very traditional and very Polish (spent with Ela, her sis, little Dominic, Roger and his family), whereas Xmas lunch on Christams Day was "almost" the Aussie style. "Almost" as I was invited to spend Xmas day with Carrie, her husband, her parents and friends and we were planning to have a picnic. However, the weather prevented us from that type of celebration. Xmas Eve was quite hot - 30 degrees centigrade, but Xmas day was colder and rainy :-/

I went on a trip to Watsons Bay: a beautiful spot with a charming lighthouse and routes as if especially designed for long walks. However, I found one disadvantage of the area - the most beautiful, and slightly secluded beach which I found the most attractive spot to go sunbathing, appeared to be a nudist beach :-/ According to the information I found later on on the internet, it is a "gay men beach"... So why is it situated by "Lady Bay"?
