Australia / DAY 1

So there is the happy parents excited to get rid of us two.... now you think the parents were happy !! look at our faces !! haha

So Im going to get down to the needy greedy of things and skip all the plane stuff it was boring and long as you guys predicted all you guys need to know is that i got my seat stolen from me 2 out of the 3 flights we were on !! I know some peoples kids right !! 

Well so we eventually arrived in Sydney and they had a little beagle searching our bags i called it a puppy face under my breath it was so cute haha so we got out of that and we headed straight to McDonalds and no we weren't just starving our faces off and needed food thats the place Ken and Sue told us to meet them at. The only real problem we had was I totally forgot what he looked like completely, so we were wondering around McDonalds for a little while till someone was walking towards us and then i kinda knew it was him and it was ! Later we found out that he didnt even know who he was looking for either... so we were in the same boat.  

He picked us up and drove us a while to Berrima where hes daughter lived in this place like out in the wild sorta, and yes that is the best view from her house you cant really see her view but it was so nice and the best part is that its floor to ceiling windows... well almost to ceiling.  Oh and just before getting to her house he pulled over and let me drive !!!!! it was crazy i almost killed us just a little ! SILENT SEIZURE ! sorry but i promised Mark that i would have loads of them while im here so all these next ones are for you! love ya! We just got our bags into our room when we went out to see her baby kangaroos and yes i just said that! There was 3 and they are so cute like the cutest things ive ever seen ! I cant remember there names but they were weird ones, really australian lol They were just in her backyard enclosed in a cage. We played with them for a bit and then she took us to see... wait for it .... baby wombats ya i know it sounds pretty lame but they were really funny guys looked like little pigs kinda running around. 

So after that Kristin (Kens daughter) took us out for lunch to this Pub to get drunk !!! (totally kidding) and that is when i first tried fish ! because my parents and mark (its always mark haha ) told me to be brave about trying new food so i gave it a go and yes me, rachel tried fish i know it will be a challenge for those who know me so well to believe that i would eat anything like that but i did ! and then after that i tried calamari blahhhhhh it was okay i guess not !! Well im not going to go into to much detail on this or i would literally be here all day ive defiantly have loads more better stuff to do like pick up some guys on the beach or something like that lol After we came home we fed the baby animals that was so cute they are fast eaters. Then we went for a hike in there backyard literally it backs out onto like the jungle !! lol so we all went for a hike there it was soo beautiful. 

  

After we came home from that hike we sat at home and talked for a bit and had what they have everyday 'afternoon tea' which is just a snack and tea but us goody good girls refused the tea haha and then Jason, Kristins hub came home from work and then we decided to got out for another hike to this place where they always go which they call 'Picnic Point' so we ventured on out there it was a lovely place and on the way out there we so a platypus in the water i wild one ! it was so cool and i totally thought for the life of me platypus' were like a fairly decent sized animals but there totally not they are tiny the one in the river was soo tiny we could barely see it. So after we came home we had dinner out of the back deck over looking the beautiful sunset just breath taking !! and that dinner i defiantly tried another new item of food ... kangaroo !! it wasnt that bad at all it tasted like steak which we had too for dinner.  By now we were both dead tired but Kristin asked if we wanted to feed the kangaroos again and of course we couldnt pass that opportunity so we went out and fed them and then we had to feed the wombat we were like falling over we were so tired but finally finished and went to beddy bye !! That felt soo good !! So ya every long day we had but pulled through and got through it. So that was the end of that day.
