Here's a short post about my trip to Sydney the last week of March (wow I've been bad about updating). I spent three days here in this city, and from the beginning I could tell the difference between the laid-back Melbourne lifestyle and the upbeat, ongoing Sydney culture. People often liken it to New York city.
This is the group; it was one estrogen-filled getaway. We were also unprepared for this picture.
And the landmarks, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House:
Then we spent a few hours at the Royal Botanical Gardens. All those horror stories about spiders flashed through my mind when I laid my eyes on this guy, whose friends and relatives were actually over the park:
Saturday morning, a few of us went to the iconic Pancakes on the Rocks, where I had the Devil's Delight Pancakes: chocolate pancakes with strawberries, cream, chocolate ice cream, and drizzled with chocolate sauce sprinkled with powdered sugar. MMMM.
At night, we took a walk around the city along the harbour:
But not before checking out Hillsong United Church!
Ahhhh... such a wonderful place. I wish I could have spent more time there, but sadly school was beckoning me back to Melbourne. Since I only had one class on Monday, I did get to prolong my weekend and spend some time with Jasmine!
This is a picture of the State Library of Victoria...it's insanely beautiful!
An infamous cobblestone alley called Hosier Lane, artists apply to do a project along this laneway. To see more projects / learn more, you can check it out here.
Cheers, y'all!
Oh, and GOOD LUCK TO ALL MY CAL FRIENDS CURRENTLY STUDYING FOR FINALS. YOU'RE ALMOST DONE!
