Sydney Australia 10'

Us Climbing the bridge in SydneyThe weather has been warming up lately which is all the reason for me to go on another trip, Australia is the place I wanted to go. Unfortunately there is no road from Orlando to Australia so we had to fly. The tickets to Australia were the most expensive plane tickets I’ve ever purchased, but they were worth every single penny I spent. We plan on staying in Australia for over a week so we can do everything we need to do in such a long period of time. We started our flight early in the morning and I slept through out the entire thing, long flights seem to always put me to sleep even though they are extended periods of time. I brought my new iPod which I forgot to charge on the way over to the airport so it probably had enough juice to last for a good song a half! So I didn’t even bother wasting my time with that. Even though I’m not a fan of long flights the best part of long flights is that you get a nice comfortable chair that you can basically live in. Long story short we got to Australia and rushed to the hotel the weather was absolutely beautiful of course its hard for it not to be when you’re on the other side of the world! I’m a huge fan of the nice warm weather on a sunny day with a slight breeze, if it were up to me everyday would be like that for the rest of my life. The weather was so nice I couldn’t even stay in the hotel for long, I just had to go out and at least walk around for a few minutes. And we did just that. I had a printout of things I had to do and could not wait to get started on it, the first thing that I wanted to do was the Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb, this was probably one of the best things that I’ve ever done in my entire life! It’s a great thing to be able to say that you’ve climbed one of the most famous bridges in the world. The guided tour was a breathtaking experience and it was pretty scary too but I wasn’t complaining! One thing I noticed when I was looking down (which I was A team member working the sail on the sail boattold not to do) was a collection of sail boats, our tour guide told us that that was also a tour and since we had a ton of time left in the day we decided that we would also do that! Never in my life would I have guessed that sailing required teamwork. It was amazing how quickly we made friends with the others on the boat knowing that we needed each other to make the adventure work, the three hour tour made us a ship full of new friends, it was a great experience beyond the sailing! After such a long day we hurried back to the hotel to catch up on some missed sleep and rest, I slept like a baby the whole night. We are planning a lot of things to do in our next few days here and it seems like time is flying!
