Saturday!
Today I was supposed to go hang gliding. Unfortunately the winds changed direction and it was unsafe to fly. So I was pretty bummed. But I did head out and go to the Tarango Zoo and touch some Koalas and we saw the new baby elephant. So cute.
We met the nicest Aussie couple and their kids in the que (Aussie for line) to get on the skyrail and the girl tried to do an American accent. It was really precious
Tonight was the State of Origin Rugby game where the New Zealand All Blacks played the Qantas Wallabees. The NZ team does this really amazing war dance before they play and so we watched that and then headed to Cheers bar to watch the game. Pretty awesome game with lots of hits and 80 minutes of intensity. Sorry to OZ but the NZ Blacks were victorious...
Sunday
I cannot believe it is my last Sunday here. I am so sad to be going. I cannot begin to express it. I have loved living in this city and taking in the Aussie culture. People here are so very nice and kind.
Becs and I headed out to the Rocks Aroma festival. First we walked along George street and admired the architecture and all things beautiful about Sydney. It was such a nice day!
The festival was full of booths offering coffees, tea and all sorts of foods. Everything smelled and tasted wonderful. I ate a lamb kebab and there was a Mona Lisa picture made out of coffee in cups. Crazy!! We had a great time walking around the area known as the Rocks in Sydney. Its right by the Opera House and the harbour. So it was a fun festival with music and stuff set to an amazing background.
Today was really sunny and nice day as well.
Tonight I met my friends Johan and Rosie from whale watching for dinner and drinks. We had some real Aussie food- Crockodile Pizza and beer. All of us hung out for a long while just having pleasant culture conversation and enjoying each other's company. We then walked to Circular Quay and had the best sticky date pudding (pudding here is like a cake so more like sticky date cake) it was amazing!
I enjoyed my night with Johan and Rosie, I will meet them one more time before I leave.
Tommorow back to 33 to start my final week. What an amazing ride.
Until then G'day!!
All in all it was a great relaxing and fun weekend! Sad it was my last but I still have one week of Aussie fun ahead of me!
Until then, G'day!
