Let's Go Fly A Kite

This past Sunday was the Festival of the Winds at Bondi Beach, which is a kite festival. The description online said: The skies will come alive with hundreds of kites of all shapes and sizes from local and international kite makers and flyers. This I could not miss. And so I rang Sara and Aubrey to come with me to the festival, which online said ran from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm. We arrived to Bondi Beach a quarter to four, just in the nick of time to see the last of the kites flying high in the sky before they all slowly drifted back down to the beach below. I imagine we didn't see the skys "alive" with kites, but it was still cool to see the ones we did. 


Proof we were indeed at the Festival of the Winds at Bondi Beach
Yay we made it!
Kites galore

Flying kites on the beach is something I really enjoy. Some of those kites are very impressive.

"Let's Go Fly a Kite". One of my favorite songs from "Mary Poppins"! I agree with your Mom, the turtles were too cute!!!
I'd like to try those timtam or whatever cookies!
The Aussies do have some interesting customs.
Keep up the exciting and very interesting blog. One month in already! WOW!
