sydney was so beautiful and warm, definitely a nice change from the cool and rainy melbourne life!
i LOVED it!
it was a long ride getting there. i went through rmit sports and rec union again a
nd so we drove on a coach bus there. i was a 13 hour drive! i sounds weird, but i never realized how big and spread out australia was.
we left a 8pm on thursday night (sep. 11) and arrived in melbourne around 9am friday
morning.
it was hard to get much sleep on the bus, so i was really tired when we got there, but i just made myself get over it so i could enjoy the time i had in sydney!
our trip leaders gave us about half an hour to set down our luggage, change clothes, and brush our teeth and then we headed out!
we went on a walking tour around sydney.
first was the war memorial..
we then walked through the city and passed st. mary's cathedral...
and then on to the botanical gardens...
there were bats EVERYWHERE in the botanical gardens! just hanging out on the middle of the day. it was so strange and creepy!
just on the other side of the botanical gardens we reached the sydney harbour and saw the opera house and sydney harbour bridge. what a dream come true, seriously! it was just so surreal to be there!!
then i climbed the tower at the end of the sydney harbour bridge!
it was SO beautiful! i could see the entire city!
after the bridge, we walked through darling harbour and got some lunch.
darling harbour is also where we loaded onto our boat later that night.
such a busy day, but so amazing! we had about two hours to explore the sydney market and go back to the hostel to nap and get ready for our night!
we went on an absolutely beautiful three hour cruise around the sydney harbour! the weather was wonderful and it was such an awesome experience to see the city at night from the water!
about 100 international students went, so it was such a great opportunity to meet new friends from other countries...
