Sydney, Australia

What, you went to Australia?!!! I know I can't believe it either. We basically planned going on Monday and left the following Sunday. Apparently YGG is the # 1 kids show down under(1 of the many reasons why it rules) and they decided to do the very first Ygg live show. So we realized we couldn't miss out on seeing in it. Actually are friends convinced us we were crazy for not going. So there you have it. The next few post will all be detailing the trip down to the food I ate. Cuz who knew that Australia had such AMAZING food?!!!

This was right when we got into Sidney. I should have been jet lagged but I was ready to go, yo.
This is a view of Sidney Harbor, Opera house, the bridge. Probably the only 2 sights I had actually heard of before going to Sidney.
We actually went to the Sidney zoo. It was really cool. It over looked the harbor. They had all the cute Koala bears n' stuff. But is this the coolest zoo entrance ever?


Two things you need to know about Scott and i when we are traveling....


1. Scott loves any type of boat cruises or boat tours. So I have been on many a boat, in many a country. He also does not like to chince on meals. He will not skip a meal or eat fast food. I defiantly benefit from this.
2. I love double decker red bus tours. We have done these a lot. It gives me a feel for the city. I know where I want to go or where i need to spend more time at. I also have to be given time to shop guilt free. Sorry, it's just the way I roll. It's just as important as going to a museum.
This was Bondi Beach. Even though it was winter there, people were still hanging out. It was really pretty. It reminded me of Laguna Beach, but with way better surfing.
The first night we were in Sydney the were having a festival call Vivid. Basically the re lighting of the Opera house. But the were projecting art form Brian Eno(music producer of coldplay, u2, talking heads) This was cool, we actually met up with Julia and Lance here.

I agree with Scott - food is part of the experience - no fast food, but small local places are on the top of the list and street-cart fair passes a long as it feature local food. Red bus tours are also the best way to start off a trip in a new city.

PS - The quote of the at the beach on Memorial day came from Ollie "Beth, take my picture so my mom can put it on her blog"
