Day six!

Day six:

On this day we took a tour of Sydney on a bus. Thank god! Everyone was so tired from walking everywhere the day before so we got a nice break. We visited so many cool places. We went on this trail that was sort of on cliffs and it was beautiful regardless of the rain and wind. We also went to this beach and took a ton of fun pictures. It was really cold but it was really fun.  I enjoyed getting to see more of Sydney everything was so pretty. At the end of our bus tour we went to the Sydney Opera House! The moment of the most of my excitement had finally arrived. It was more beautiful than I ever imagined. I was in love. I added “see a show inside the Sydney opera house” to my bucket list on the spot. We got to go inside and actually see it! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. After seeing the opera house we walked down the pier to the boats because we were going on a Sydney harbor cruise. The sights were spectacular and I took many pictures of the beautiful scenery. At the end of the harbor cruise we got to go to the wild life center. We saw the iconic kangaroos and koalas. And many more animals that we don’t get to see at home. Then we had dinner and I got fish and chips! It was entertaining.

Prompt: Traveling thus far!

Response: So far all of this travel has been completely insane. There is no other way to describe it. There have been amazing highlights and many irritants but I have loved every second this far. The entire time I was in New Zealand all I could think about was the fact that I wanted to live there someday. The culture that we were surrounded by, I don’t know, I was/am just so addicted to it. The Maori village was beautiful and the duck tour was amazing. Australia started a bit rocky but I’ve come to adore this place. The Sydney Opera House was the most beautiful building that I have ever seen. I have always wanted to see it. Not only because of the beauty but because I have a strong love for music. Seeing a musical icon was incredibly inspiring. I guess these countries really just made me realize how much I want to travel in the future. Part of this traveling experience that I dislike is the size of our group. Everyone sorta wants attention and with so many they have to fight for it, which, makes us an incredibly noisy group. That and kids are constantly talking and I feel like that takes away from my trip because there are things that I would like to hear Alec say about things we need to hear from the teachers. And when I can’t hear those instructions it makes my trip difficult. So I definitely like smaller groups. The world is beautiful and amazing, I want to be able to embrace as much as possible.
