We chilled out at the aquarium, it was amazing. We like sharks and jellyfish.
We checked out the opera house...all of this was unexpected because when we left the hostel that day we only planned on going to the mall and a movie but then we just kept walking (Mandy wanted to check out a bridge) and when we got to the bridge we realized we hit the tourist gold mine. So we hopped on a ferry and went past the opera house, luna park and landed at Darling Harbor which was so cool.
We also rode the subway! Which was sweet because it was mandy's first time. But now tomorrow morning we have a 9 hour train ride so we have a feeling we'll both be plenty sick of it by the time we get to coff's harbor which is our next stop.
Today we woke up early and checked out of the hostel, had some delicious breakfast with fresh fruit and pancakes and french toast. AND the most delicious smoothie ever and freshly squeezed orange juice. It was soooooo good. Then we got on the train and headed back to the Thorncraft's. When they got to the train station to pick us up we had a minor struggle trying to get our backpacks on and mandy took a very smooth stumble (because we all know how graceful mandy is) backwards. We spent the day with them driving around checking stuff out doing some shopping. Just normal australian lifestyle. We went to this beautiful house on the water for a bit at Kangaroo Point which is like sort of equivalent to tuxedo in winnipeg. It was absolutely gorgeous. The first photo is the view from their dock and the second one is from the dock looking up at the house. It was so amazing. I can't imagine really living like that. they had a freaken massage chair!!!
So tomorrow we leave Sydney and are heading up the east coast to coff's harbor where we have a couple nights booked at a hostel before we head to byron bay where we hope to spend some time and work there.
We really really miss everyone at home and love you all.
XOXO

Funny Things said this week:
- Do you really want to pay 30$ to go to the aquarium. Well I'd rather see a shark in the aquarium than in the ocean. (While waiting in line at the aquarium debating on paying)
- Oh we got 10$!! From who? Two rich white ladies! (at Venice Beach after watching the hip hop group and giving them some money.)
- You know what I am really excited to do tonight?...sleep without a bra. (when staying at the Thorncraft's)
- ....ahh just so you know, I just farted. (all the time...as a warning for the other person)
