G'Day Sydney

4/1

I wanted to get up really early so I could walk around the city. However, my alarm went off and I did not have the energy to get out of bed. Tracy suggested that it might have been because we all actually slept in nice beds and were warm through the night.

Anyway, at 9am Tracy and I headed down to Circular Quay so I could return the shirt I bought for myself at the Opera House and she went to see The Rocks. Then we met Tracy, Angie and Craig for breakfast. We sat on a bench and looked out at the harbor…strategically situating ourselves so we could see the bridge, Opera House and the kids dance studio that was performing. Sitting there with a doughnut and iced coffee, life couldn’t get much sweeter.

We walked back towards the hostel, stopping at a few opal shops along the way. Australia is famous for opal—and that becomes very obvious in Sydney. We took a shuttle to the airport and I tried to rest away the sickness waiting on our plane.

The plane ride was short and we all took a shuttle from Ballina to camp. (There were a total of 18 of us that had been in Sydney that weekend) I loved Sydney. Even if I did feel crappy the entire time it was an amazing weekend!!!!!

There are two weeks left, and lots of work to be done before we leave Lennox Head. How has it gone by so quickly?!

I'm sorry you only have two weeks left! I am loving all the stories and pictures. Especially since this is as close as I will ever be to AUS
