City Tour!

Helloooo everybody!

Today is my second official day in sydney and ready to see the city we decided to go on a city bus tour! It was great. Corey, Marie and I along with two Australian students/tour guides, two students from Finland, and one Germany girl all went on a downtown open bus top tour- real touristy I know! But it was great. We saw the Sydney harbor bridge, the Opera House, hit up the rocks, and even saw the Red Light District- also known as Kings Cross. It was marvelous. I still feel like I should have done it 18 more times to really get a good feel, but it was a good first day.

We stopped to have lunch at a little fun place. I tried some squid and had a chicken roll- some chicken wrapped in a weird pastry substance- for lunch. It was delicious.

The Australian students we were with were super nice and fun. They told us all the important things we should known and how to avoid what animals will kill us. They also filled us in on the fact that lollies means candy and fosters isn't really a main beer here. All in all, a great day!

Thats all for now. I am still a little jet lagged but I am having a great time already! Ill write more tomorrow when I am a little more awake. Love and miss you all and as they say in Sydney- Cheers!
