Trip to the City

So...everyday here just makes me love Australia more. I had the best time in the city. A large group of us went there. The not so good part was buying our day pass for the train. It costs 17 dollars everytime we want to go to the city! At least we can use it for the ferry to Circular Quay. Anyway, we went to Darling Harbour first. It's very beautiful. Everything is so big and modern looking. We had lunch there and observed seagulls that had the weirdest looking eyes. These birds had no problem getting close to you...and your meal. It was actually kinda creepy... but anyway it was an experience. Oh and I got to see an Ibis, which is a very interesting looking bird. In fact I've seen many interesting birds here. Definitely don't see this kind of variety in Oklahoma.

...So then we took a ferry boat towards Sydney Harbour Bridge. Oh my gosh it was AMAZING to see that bridge with my own eyes. It was HUGE and so beautiful with the opera house in the distance. It was one of those unforgettable moments in life. I took heaps of photos, trying to get a good shot of this massive bridge. As we went under the bridge, we noticed an amusement park was nearby with all kinds of rides. May have to go back and check it out sometime cuz I live here! Gosh...still trying to comprehend that.

Then we made it to the opera house. We all took so many pictures and there was the most gorgeous view of the bridge from there. We stayed to watch the sunset. It was wonderful. When it started getting dark, we headed for the train. Just before we got on we were able to see the bridge at night with all the lights lit. Beautiful!! The train ride was fun too...let's just say we all got pretty close to each other. There were so many people getting on the train...which was already full. But no worries. It was a grand day in the city!
