  2. I enjoyed taking a trip on one of these buses in Sydney. The funny thing was that the driver was originally from the UK and his Mum lives a few streets away from me. He gave me a very good deal on the fare!

    1. Me too. I love sitting upstairs in the open air, watching the views en route to the next stop.

  6. The idea of hop on/hop off tourist transportation is excellent. The red bus is pretty easy to spot.

  9. This bus looks very much like our new Mornington Peninsula explorer/tourist bus. Very scenic.

  11. I love double-decker tour buses. I can't imagine sitting anywhere but on top. Great image for a Ruby Tuesday Too post. Have a blessed day.

  12. Sounds nice :-)
    A curiosity: A tiny place close to where I live in Norway also is called Bondi. A tiny lake called Bondi Lake, is in fact a a popular bathing (and fishing) spot! Sort of "Mini Bondi Beach". Bondi is a very old farm name, from before 1377, and means "a good place to live".

    1. Villrose, that's very interesting. Bondi (pronounced (BOND-eye) is an Aboriginal word meaning water breaking over rocks.
