Australia / DAY 10-11

Today was a really laid back day we didnt do much in the morning but the real fun starts at night hello haha We walked to the Harbour and crossed the bridge cause we saw in the distance there was a crowd of people there and some guys in the middle of it so our course the girls we are so saw guys with there shirts off and we went straight for them hahah jk And i over heard that there were going to be fireworks i was really confused cause it wasnt any special day that day.  So arrived over on the other side and look what we find ... 

 ... shirtless men !!! haha but even better shirtless men breakdancing !! lol 

This is just a night view when we were on the bridge. 

Night time cruise boat on lit up

SO it was so funny cause when we were there and near the end when it was the final they picked people to go up and the one guy came and picked me !! ahhhh the shitless man !! jk ya so we had to stand in a line and bend over and the one guy ran and jumped over all of us it was crazy !! 

After the whole crazy show ! 

 Me just waiting for those fireworks ! 

BAMM!! 

BAMM again !! lol 

This was just a cool shot with the purple trees now these trees are everywhere here and they look so pretty i wish we had pretty trees back home all we got are those stupid dull looking pine trees ! blahhhh So that was a really nice turnout that we had and then the best part about the whole thing was afterward we had chinese food !!!!!! yummmm.  Then we ventured our way back home and found our beds and crashed lol

Day 11

So today was church we got dressed and headed out which was nice cause it only took us like less then 5 mins. to get there.  The place was nice and of course they were all asian ! and it was a YSA ward but still.  Church was good and then afterwards we asked the bishop where exactly and how to get to the temple and he didnt even know but this other guy which was the only one that was not asian !!!! YEA !! lol and yes he was very good looking haha i know thats what everyone really wants to know here.  He told us how to get there.  It took us a very long time to get there. 

This is the under ground subway, we were so confused we had no idea which way it was heading or where we were heading so stressful. But finally ended up finding the place, we had to walk up a hill in the heat it was annoying.  But we made it ! 

Canadian leaf !! yea well sorta 

So there is the Sydney Temple nothing special i thought it was going to be a lot bigger then it actually was it is probably either the same size or maybe a little smaller then the Edmonton Temple not impressed but yet it was really nice. 

Our happy faces !

Just a really weird looking plant no big deal 

So everything here is all hedge form not just at the temple but everywhere you go its all hedge really weird huh? 

Kinda a cool pic i thought

I thought this was funny it was right across from the temple 'Little Amigos' so cute ! 

Us just waiting and waiting for the train it took soo long for it to actually come. 

Now this was really cool.  It took this pic for Jessie ya its all jewellery all the walls are lined with it and the tables too it was insane.  Jessie you would of been in heaven !! 

From walking everywhere and not eating till like 530 ish we just about died we crashed hard when we got home.  

Australia / DAY 8-9

So we got up to go to McD's for the wifi but we could not get anything done there for some odd reason we needed to know where we were going for church and stuff like that but finally we got a map and just headed to Hyde Park ... or we thought we were headed that way.  We totally got lost we ended up over by the Harbour and i know most of you guys have no idea what that means well let me just break it down to you its like trying to head to south ed and ending up like over by Harry Ainlay and yes pretty much that far well maybe a little less then that but thats how bad it was totally off ! 

Crazy scooter central ! 

So that is the Sydney Bridge we were almost there and Hyde Park is totally opposite place.

Just resting our feet. 

That is the building were the church is 

This is Hyde Park

And ya we were a little bored and being retards, and thats what retards do lol 

So we walked for soo long and i was carrying my laptop the entire time but finally found the place and then we tried to find the church but had no idea where it would be we knew it was in a building somewhere but had no clue ! Lucky for us we saw these missionaries outside so we asked them and they showed us the place and we also asked where and how the best way to go about finding the temple.  The one missionary was from Hawaii,  hola it was cool.  Anyways he showed us how to get there but he didnt know either really cause he was new so that was great we also checked out the map to know where we could get home faster then before so we left and yes it only literally took us like 5 mins. to get back home ! Such a gong show ! 

We saw them again late that night when we were looking for super it was weird to see them out that late but then i remember that it gets dark really early here.  But that was the just of our day by the end of it we did not want to walk anymore at all. lol 

Day 9

So today we were really tired but we decided to go to the Paddy's Market (flee market) which was really cool actually i needed to find some cute things for semi cheapness.  But we still tried to spend little as possible hah not for me though the first thing i bought was this ball thingy i dont even know what it was exactly but it looked really cool and it glowed in the dark so obviously i needed to get it like cmon lol I got extensions ive always'd wanted them for like the longest time and finally got them ! We came to this booth with little asian man painting words but it was cool art and so big surprise there i bought that too lol We pretty much was there the entire day and at night we just were out and about on the town ! and just doing our thang ! lol 

Australia / DAY 6-7

So today was really nice cause for once we slept in til like 930 ish. We didnt really want to do anything anyways cause it was rainy like all day so we just chilled inside tried to decided what our next move was for the next couple weeks.  So later we decided maybe it would be good if we got some fresh air and left to go on a little walk around 330 ish and ya it was rainy but nothing like back home it was just misting like the entire day so pretty much like nothing.  We went to the beach it was so nice we chilled, and ran along the beach the water was nice and warm.  

So ya just fooled around with the camera. Just a very laid back day which was really nice to have after those couple of days.  

Day 7

So today is the day that we leave for Sydney and leave Ken and Sue we thanked them so much and left a present on the bed for them and they took us to the train station.  We set up Cally's phone and had hot chocolate before we left and yes i dont know whats with me but sometimes i am clumsy.

Look at that beautiful cup of hot chocolate ! 

oops.. 

And yes that is a puddle in the napkin ! 

We boarded the long 2 hour train we pretty much just slept for the entire time. We arrived found our hostel which was right across the street.. lucky for us.  Got settled in and then went out to explore. And guess what we found ... 

An outdoor ping pong table, isnt that crazy just out in the middle of this playground/courtyard type thing very cool. 

 This was the sweetest place ever ! A mini playground as you can see i was in heaven ! 

Such a big slide ! 

Mini tunnel through the slide 

This was right under the bridge. Darling Harbour is right behind us 

This is the Harbourside and Hard Rock Cafe right there. 

Just making sure we were on the right path to righteousness haha jk ! Just made sure that the map was right! 

They had lights on like all the trees and over in the left side there are all these benches there and they were all couples there but then we came across one couple and a 3rd just sitting beside them haha super funny ! We found our way back home and that was the end of that long day. 

Australia / DAY 4-5

Today we packed up all our stuff and left Kristins place and headed to New Castle with Ken and Sue we stopped along the way at this shopping centre for Sue to get some stuff and i guess for us too the only thing that really was stupid is that here they only have first 3 hours of parking is free but as soon as you were up with that you had to pay .. sucks.  So we traveled for a long time we visited Ken and Sues friends and had afternoon tea lol then finally made it to New Castle ! We got settled there had dinner and right after that we watched The Game ! the rugby game that was so intense with the All Blacks and France.  And of course the all blacks won !! booya ! 

Day 5

We were supposed to sleep in later then usually which is just 8 or 9 ish lol but they woke us up early to tell us that we would be going to the reptile park today so we got ready and went to pick up there other daughter and her son to come along with us.  His name is Cameron and he is so cute with his little accent and everything ! 

So we arrive at the park and enter at the front we went to the snakes and stuff first, just a huge croc eating Cally no big deal

There was this huge giant turtle that they fed and we came just in time for it.  Like literally he was the biggest guy ive ever seen and he was deformed on his shell.  It looks bigger in real life. 

Then we went to another tour thing where they showed us all these poisonous snakes and reptiles and then they pulled out this mother of a snake, python.  So they were asking around who were the tourists here and Ken quickly points in our direction ! awe jeez and guess who it was ... 

yup Cally, it seems like she liked it a lot look at that smile !! 

After that me and Cally got a pic with a Koala they are so cute. 

I love this he is just chillin like a villain on the post it looks so funny ! So that was fun and then we took Cameron with us to go back to New Castle but we went along the beach side and yes its really sad that that was the first time that we saw the ocean or beach. very sad 

And we were freakin out just looking at it.  We mad our way along the beach and to this spot were they feed the pelicans so we went over there and when we got there, there were pelicans everywhere ! 

 I got a lot of video for this.  It was cool seeing them literally fight for the food. 

Then we went to the beach finally and walked along it to a lighthouse it was soo nice !! 

We got there and over by the rocks there was this fishermen that was just getting owned by the waves it was super funny. 

And Ken took a million of us by the rocks he was trying to get when the waves in the background to actually show but he couldnt really get it. 

Thats the best he could do.  So that was a long day and we were just dead tired ! We headed come had dinner and died !!! ( passed out )
