SYDNEY!

Where have you been all my life?

Beautiful city. Straight up.

After hiking adventures, we awoke early to explore the city. First stop : Pancakes on the Rocks, per suggestion of my dear friend Alaine. Delicioso. I had pancakes with grilled pineapple, ice cream and a strawberry daquiri- what a breakfast! After that, it was a stroll around the Rocks. Very cool neighborhood. There was an Aroma Festival happening. Chocolate, tea and coffee as far as the eye could see. What a dream. Then...to the Opera!

Yup, this building is just as unbelievable as everyone says it is. Breathtaking. I contemplated using my student id to get in to see a show- but, ran out of time.

Then, an expedition to the Taronga Zoo! My co-worker had made a new friend, that we all quickly became friends with too. He's a zookeeper. We got into the zoo, for free (booyah), and then fed giraffes.

Wow. They are tall.
Then.... I SAW A PLATYPUS!!!! VICTORY!

My list of to do in Australia is just about complete. But more adventures await....
