The past couple of day have been SO amazing. My friends and I have done all kinds of touristy things. So far we've been to the Opera House, Darling Harbour, Bondi Beach and the Toranga Zoo in addition to walking around the whole city and getting much more acquainted with it. The public transportation is super easy and convenient here. There is a train station just up the street from us which we took to Bondi. There are buses that run all over the city and we took a ferry to the zoo which was very cool. The weather has been beautiful (80s and sunny) and I'm having the best time. I got a pretty decent sunburn at the beach. Turns out there is a hole in the ozone layer directly above Australia and even though I put 30 sunscreen on probably 15 times while at the beach I still look like a lobster. Oh well though, soon enough it will become a tan and then you can all be jealous...even more so than you already are :).Unfortunately my camera has not been working lately. Every time I take a picture it looks like I'm taking it through window blinds which is a. creepy and b. annoying. My friends have been putting their pictures up on facebook and I'm pretty sure you can all see their albums as long as I'm in some of their pictures, but I've uploaded their memory cards onto my computer so I'm going to try to set up a shutterfly account or something like that so I can upload them onto the internet. I'll post a link as soon as I get it set up.
Today's been pretty low key. Its cloudy and a little rainy today so we went shopping and are going to see a movie later today. I'm so exhausted from walking around everywhere, but it has definitely been worth it. I also can't seem to sleep past 9 o'clock and the past two nights have gone to bed after 4 in the morning (bars are open all night here!) so it feels nice to relax a little bit. Monday the five of us in that picture (Me, Kate, Lauren, Emily and Becca) are going up to Cairns to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef. I'm super excited, even though the weather is not looking so good. We're staying in a hostel on the beach until Friday and going on the reef cruise Wednesday. I probably won't have internet/phone access up there, but I'll be sure to update this when I return.
Hope everyone's well and I miss you all!

I spent a semester in Austria with a camera that didn't work. My advice to you is get a new camera! Glad you're having fun. (: xoxo Momma
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am pretty jealous, though I am 50% sure I would have died of a heart attack on the plane ride over there : ) That sucks about your camera, but the pictures other people are taking seem really cool. What's with that one where you are all standing next to some guy playing the digeree doo? I have no idea how to spell that by the way. That's awesome that you're going snorkeling...when I went in Kenya it was unreal, I felt like I was in finding nemo. I saw the whole cast. When does school start?
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome time in the Barrier Reef! That is so epic. And cool. You ladies look hot in the bikinis and right now I am looking at snow and the flatness of Iowa. So totally jealous. Also- if bars stayed open all night here I would SO royally screwed.
