Last day in Sydney...

Hello all!

So today was my last day in Sydney.. Sadness! But before I go on about that I have some important business to attend to.

First, there were a few things I forgot to mention in my previous blog. First was that there was a pro surfer surfing at the same time as I was! Her name was Jessie (don't know the last name.. never could understand him..) And she was surfing about 20 yards away from me! So cool!!

I also forgot to mention that my instructor had to borrow my board while I was out in the middle to save these two girls swimming in the rip.. leaving me all on my own out in the middle! I survived! haha..

I think that was about it.. now on to Jerry Springer the Opera.....

Oh WOW is all that can describe that.. If it ever tours the states.. I'm going again! haha..

When we got to the Opera House, we made our way to our seats.. a little higher up than we expected to be considering we had the middle priced tickets (still $100!) We watched as the entire Hall filled up.. it was definitely sold out! As the lights dimmed.. the crowd began to chant "Jerry! Jerry!" It was so awesome.. have I ever mentioned how much I love Aussies?? The show began.. it was so vulgar yet so hilarious all at the same time.. from the crack whores, to a song about "shitting in my fucking diaper" (long story..) to tap dancing KKK members... Never did I ever expect a combination so amazing!

Once the show was sadly over.. we made our way back to the hotel and passed out!

Now on to today's events!!

So today was spent up in the Blue Mountains.. and I must say how GORGEOUS they are!! We did a couple walks through the "bushes" and got to ride the steepest rail in the whole world. We also rode down a very steep gondola.. Saw the Three Sisters and Wentworth falls (actually got to walk over the falls..) Then we saw some aboriginal rock carvings, tried to hunt some 'roos in the national park (to no success unfortunately), then took a ferry ride back home to complete all of the ways of transportation in Sydney (not an easy feat considering the vast variety of transporation available here!) And that really leads me back to where I am now.. sitting in the internet cafe!

I did have one fun moment for the day. For the first time since I have been here.. I got to hear someone say "crickey" in a sentence for real! I was really excited.. haha!

Ok now on to the sad part. We are flying out of Sydney in the morning to the Great Outback. I don't know if there will be any internet available there.. so I may be gone for a few days. I do promise to give you lots of updates as soon as I get to Cairns!!

Also.. a shout out to my daddy... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I miss you and I love you!!

No worries.. until we meet again!!
