Australia, Part 1: Sydney

So after Tonga, Fiji, Wellington, and Samo, I spent the last week of the mid-semester break in Australia! I spent the first part of my Aussie week with Libat, Jonathan, and Yali in Sydney, one of the coolest cities I've ever been to.

DAY 1.

View of Sydney from the airplane.

Rose Bay where Libat and Jonathan live.

I took the ferry into the city and the view was just amazing.

Gourmet foodmart on The Rocks where I got to sample tons of delicious cheese and dipping oils.

Aboriginal art gallery.

View from the Sydney Tower.

Anzac memorial in Hyde Park.

View from the evening ferry back to Rose Bay.Dinner with Libat, Jonathan, and Yahli!

DAY 2

After a bit of Dora...

...and some Skype with the family...

...we took a day trip to Watson's Bay.

In the afternoon we went over to beautiful Bondi Beach.

DAY 3

Another lovely day excursion, this time to Manly Beach.

DAY 4

I spent my last day exploring Darling Harbour.

At the aquarium.

The Chinese Garden of Friendship.

And I ended my trip to Sydney with a cupcake in honor of Miss Darwell and her love for Australian decorated cupcakes.
