Sydney

The next stop on our trip was Sydney, Australia. It was a beautiful and very clean city. This is the one area I wish we had more time at. I didn't get to see and do everything I would have liked to. I guess I will just have to plan a trip back there one day. 

Here is the Darling Harbor and the Australian flag

 On day 1 we took a guided bus tour around the city where we got to see most of the major site seeing destinations
This is the famous Sydney Opera House of course. We had gorgeous weather if you couldn't tell.

 Visiting Bondi Beach
 even though she wasn't with us she was there in spirit
 Day 2 we took a trip up to the Blue Mountains 
  
this one they call the Sleeping Giant

The 3 sisters

Joe got really good at playing the didgeridoo during this trip. This is a really cool instrument made from a eucalyptus branch which was hallowed out by termites
 After the mountains we visited a wildlife center where we got to feed kangaroos, pet koala bears and get acquainted with other Australia animals

I was so excited for this part of the trip. I have always wanted to say that I petted a Koala.

 check out this one's balls! Joe brought back a set as a souvenir believe it or not 

 On the last night we finally found a fire station and the guys got to hang out with some of their brothers
