Sydney

Let us start off by saying this...we didnt like Sydney...WE LOVE IT!!!! This city was amazing. So much heart and character wrapped into one city, its kind of hard where to start...we arrived to Sydney early Thrusday morning(when I say early I mean like 10 am, but for dramatic affect it was earlier) Anyways the hostel we stayed in was intersting to say the least, but it was in the middle of everything so nothing to complain. First thing we went was the Sydney Opera House. It was a bit surreal seeing something we have only seen in books in person, but it didnt disapoint. We went on a tour of the opera house and decided to go see an orchestra concert, Brahms to be exact(Mr. Nichols would be shocked to hear his two favorite pupils did such a thing...haha) We then went the botanical gardens and the Sydney tower at sunset which made the city more amazing espically the harbor. The next day we toured the city seeing old town, more of the harbor, harbor bridge, kings cross and then later that night went to the orchestra where we sat right behind them(it sounds a tad expensive, but in reality it was only 18 American dollars) The next day we went to BONDI beach which was a bit crowded, but beautiful. We of course swam, tan and walked around the sites. We really wanted to stay longer, but we had to leave later that night to Melbourne, however we will be back!
