Hello, errrrrbody!
Sorry I've been MIA for the past couple of weeks. I am two
weeks into class (booo) after a fantastic Easter/mid-semester break and haven't
been able to write everything out to relay to all of you. For break, I had
originally planned to go somewhere outside of the country (perhaps New Zealand,
Fiji, or even Thailand), but in the end, ended up traveling just south to
Sydney and Melbourne instead.

I've got a lot to go through, so there will be multiple
posts about what sort of shenanigans I got into. But if you haven't got the
time to read through everything, here's the quick run-through of what
adventures were had:
Sydney
Easter mass at St. Mary's cathedral
Royal Botanic gardens + government house
Sydney Opera House + Sydney Harbour Bridge + Mrs.
Macquerie's Chair
Pitt St Mall
Darling Harbour (Sydney Aquarium + Hoopla Festival)
Powerhouse Museum (Engineering Awards + lace construction
exhibit + the Wiggles exhibit + HARRY POTTER: THE EXHIBITION excited? me? no…)
Bondi Beach
Sydney Tower
Blue Mountains (temperate rain forest + old coal mines +
Three Sisters + aboriginal art)
Olympic Park
Paddy's Markets + Chinatown/Chinese Garden of Friendship
National Maritime Museum
Melbourne
Great Ocean Road (cold temperate rain forest + a million
beach pictures + 12 Apostles + London Bridge)
Old Melbourne Gaol
Alley full of graffiti + St. Paul's Cathedral + Federation
Square
Yarra River
Rod Laver Arean + Melbourne Cricket Grounds + National
Sports Museum
Melbourne Comedy Festival
Queen Victoria Market
Botanic Gardens
Chinatown
And of course food, drink, and merriment.
The following entries will individually cover each day of my
trip (or not, I may get impatient and lump a bunch of stuff together). Some will be long, some will be short. Most Some will be boring,
some will be eye-roll-inducing. All in good fun. Read all, read none. Do
whatever you want. Just know that I had a fantastic time with everything.
Onward!
