well hello everyone! so, i made it back from my adventure in australia... and i'm ready to share some stories and photos... there are lots so i may break it up (thanks justin for the tip)
So, I arrived in Melbourne on Thursday... and met lots of really cool people, but forgot my camera, so i don't have any pictures of them- but they were really nice and had super cool aussie accents. before i could even catch my breath justin and i were on a train to Sydney. we stayed in a inexpensive and slightly sketchy hotel... and headed out to meet some of justin's friends who happened to be in Sydney at the the same time.
Doesn't this look like a fun place to hang out?...
well we had a really great time!!
These are probably the best people i met in Melbourne... it is really nice to know that are people just like me in the world. Rory and Jess live just upstairs from Justin in Melbourne and Rory was in Sydney for work... well- Justin, Jess and I had some great adventures while he was in the office.
So, the next day we acted like tourists... wait, i am a tourist! okay, they acted like tourists and we took in the sites. First we had brunch by the Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. apparently these places are a really big deal. i am a really bad tourist. they were beautiful!
The second day we took a ferry to a city called Manly and it was beautiful!! It was a surf town so of course i loved it... and i had to get in the ocean- so did justin... WHY DIDN'T WE PACK OUR SUITS!!
...and that was the trip to sydney... beautiful day, beautiful city... hmmmmmm i love being on vacation. Put on the sunnies, don't forget to use cream for the sunburn, stop by mac-ers for something chronic... eat some chips have a $10 beer, tell someone they are brilliant and say cheers instead of thank you!!! i love australia.
the only downfall is the unfortunate habit i have of picking up accents (all that theater)... and some words are coming out aussie. wouldn't be a problem except that i'm not in australia anymore and it sounds a bit weird...
so for now i will say... "have a brilliant day"... and here is a "cheers" from me and Justin. oh yeah... that is rory behind us :)
more to come... keep checking in... next is
Tasmania.... oooooooooooh yeah.....
xo
