Syd!

Hey y'all!

Just a quick update on how Sydney's been....

We spent Saturday doing some borderline embarrassing tourist things including the aquarium, wildlife park, wax museum, and Sydney's tallest building. I got the privilege of pressing my face up against the glass which divided Australia's deadliest snake and myself. Darling Harbour was beautiful however. We also accidentally ended up in the middle of a Muslim protest which was pretty scary, there were hundreds of people and hundreds of police using pepper spray and a few even got beat up. Luckily we stayed out of it and it mainly ended peacefully.

The wine in Australia is verrrry cheap, so every night we get together with 3 girls from England and one from Denmark and they've introduced us to a ton of other people at the hostel. Everyone seems to be here for atleast a year, so we're sorta baby travelers.

By no surprise we enjoyed Oxford Street which is a trendy gay community in downtown Sydney. We learned about a drag show going on at the opera house right now, so we'll be checking that out tonight.

Trying to stay awake isnt exactly easy...nor is sleeping in. Hopefully it wears off soon!

Thanks for all the comments. Tah Tah for now!

  2. Great pics! I am jealous of course. I am off to Ottawa today for a few days and Ruthie has Adam to contend with. She misses you! Keep having an amazing time and enjoy that cheap wine. Also try to avoid those protests - don't want to spend any of your time behind bars. lol. Take care. Donna ( and Ruthie)

  4. Like the photos. Must have missed the one of Australia's largest snake. I figure that Koala bear is stoned out of it's mind.

    Have fun. Don't eat eucalyptus leaves.
