Sydney

Immediately after returning from the Whitsunday's I caught a plane to Sydney for my last bit of traveling in Oz. It was quite a contrast coming from the gorgeous and warm environment of a tropical paradise into a rainy and dreary big city, but nonetheless, I ended up having a great time in Australia's largest city.

I met up with my friend Nicole, whom I met 7 years ago when we both served on the same missions trip in Mexico. She was visiting her brother who lives in Sydney. I had not seen her since that week so long ago, but we picked right back up and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Her brother and his roommates welcomed me into their place and included me in all they did that weekend. Nicole was a great tour guide and we explored the city all day Friday and some more on Sunday. I saw the opera house, the harbor bridge, Hyde Park, markets, malls, Sky Tower, a beautiful cathedral, and much, much more. We ate out at a delicious German restaurant, went dancing in crazy King's Cross and attended Hillsong church. It was neat to see all the famous things that Sydney is known for.

On Saturday it turned out to be a clear, beautiful day so I went and explored Bondi Beach. The water was so pretty and the houses on the cliff made a nice backdrop for the big waves. I walked from Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach and it was such a nice walk along the rocky cliffs overlooking the ocean and watching all the surfers.

Welp, that was my last adventure down under. These next two weeks will consist of studying and hanging out with peeps. I'll probably post a few more pictures of some things around UQ and Emmanuel, but we'll see. Thanks for checking out my blog. Can't wait to share more details with you all in person!
