Sydney Excursion!

Sydney was amazing! We all had such a good time. We left Wednesday morning and had a six hour bus ride to Sydney. It was year ten that went for a geography/history teaching thing. On Wednesday when we got to the hostel we changed clothes and went to the beach for like a mile walk on this walkway path. It was beautiful! The ocean and the beaches were just breath taking! We got alot of photos. Then after that we had about an hour to get dinner at Bondi Beach. Some friends and I had fish and chips then some Cold Rock ice cream. :) That was good. On the ride back to the hostel we stopped at some park to get photos of the Sydney Opera House and The Sydney Harbour Bridge all lit up, it was really cool.  Then it was time to go back to the hostel and around 10:30 we were supposed to be in our beds... But everyone was still awake and we hung out till like 4 in the morning. It was so fun! Lots of memories were made. :) Then we had to wake up at six, have brekky, and then we were off to Sydney Harbour for the geography part. We had some worksheets to fill out and we went on a ferry and this tour guide just talked to us for ages. It was really boring, but then around three in the afternoon we went back to where we were staying and were allowed a few hours to shop on our own. :) That was great. After shopping we went to Manly Beach for dinner and so we got to hang out there for a few hours. Then it was back to the hostel cause we had to wake up early again, but this time it wasnt that late of a night everyone was exhausted. Friday morning we went to a museum and got to look at some ship, which was part of the history bit, it was actually pretty cool. We got to grab lunch and do a little more shopping at Sydney Harbour. And a long seven hour bus ride back. So yeah the excursion was just a blast! But I have to admit it felt pretty good to be back in Gil. This weekend didnt do too much, had Jonah over and so we went swimming in our pool and watched movies, was a really good day. :) And today the family and I just hung out at home, went swimming, did a few chores, and now tomorrow we have school again.
So thats an update on my Aussie Adventures. Im still loving life, its so good that sometimes I just wake up and am in disbelief that Im in another continent having the time of my life. Almost been here for two and a half months. Has been the best two in a half months of my life! I love Australia! :)
Well thats all.
Love you all.
