Day 4 (5/29/10)

We had to be on the bus at 8:00 to start our adventures for the day. Our first stop was the olympic grounds where we only got about 10 minutes to look around. We didn’t get to see much because it is SO HUGE but we are planning on going back a different day to go to an event! Even though we didn’t get to see much it was still super cool. After that we made our way to featherdale — the coolest place EVER!!!!! We got to see the pade melon (the smallest version of the kangaroo— soooo cute!!!), wallaby, kangaroos, penguins, and KOALAS!!! It was one of the coolest places i’ve ever been because the kangaroos just run around pretty much wild there and you are able to feed them and pet them and everything. We weren’t able to hold any koalas but we could pet them! After featherdale we made out way to the blue mountains. It was extremely foggy.. which kinda sucked, but it was still REALLY pretty. I’m glad I will be going back with my parents again so hopefully this time i’ll be able to see a little bit of something. We then took a walk down the mountains in the rainforest where we ended at the very bottom. From the bottom, we took the STEEPEST TRAIN IN THE WOOORRRLLLDDD (literally, it is) up the mountain. It was so scary. We were basically going extremely fast, completely vertically up the mountain, I thought I was going to die. But i didn’t ! :) So after that we made our way back to our apartments. We got ready to go out for the night and all of our capa group met in one room to drink. We all had a really good time together and everyone was EXTREMELY dressed up. Apparently you cannot get into the bars here if you are wearing any sort of shoe that is not a heal for girls and a dress shoe for guys. So we eventually made our way down to circular quay and went to a bar near the opera house that I forgot what it was called. But it was SOOOOOO FUN!! All of the bars/clubs that I’ve been to have topped any bar i’ve been to in minneapolis! I am SO IN LOVE! And their accents… I just can’t get over them! I swear I am going to have it perfected by the time I leave!! But that was it for day 4 ! No complaints yet! :)
