Bondi Resort Blog

Come on into our Blog for a look at the wonderful world we've got to share! With over 240 hectares (600 acres) of wilderness woodlands surrounding the resort, just ten minutes from Algonquin Park, we feature over 400 metres (1200’) of waterfront and beach; boat rentals; summer hiking trails winding through fields and woods; 20 km. of groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing in winter; access to nearby snowmobile trails for sledders, and a toboggan hill for the young at heart.

Mist. Not to be Missed. Really

You can't call it a warm wind, as it slides in over the ice on Bondi Bay. It actually is warm -- but the ice plays havoc with that.

And when warm air meets cold ice, and there is enough moisture in the air from the thunderstorm that has just passed through, the end result is mist.  At times it was so heavy the horizon vanished, the world closed in with a soft embrace.  It was beautiful to watch, and you can see it for yourself right here.

Taffy says she isn't so sure about the little cat feet... but agrees that it comes in softly, silently, and moves on with its own grace.  Achmed and Napster stated that they preferred to keep their own little cat feet inside where it was warm and dry... but they are not poets.
