a week in Sydney

We spent the past week in Sydney, which was amazing!  
Pre-shuttle ride to Phoenix!



On the first day we were attempting to go to Paddington Market, which is a little street market in downtown Sydney.  We stopped and asked a man for directions and we headed in the way which he directed us.  Well…we ended up at PADDY'S Market…which was totally different.  It was a Chinese flea market.  We were so tired from the 24 hour travel day that we decided to just eat lunch there.  Not our best day…

The next day we went to the Opera House and got a tour.  It is beautiful inside and the little modern aspects of it really surprised me.  The cloth they use on their seats is a bright orange and all the of the carpet is purple, red and other bold colors.  




We took a ferry ride around the harbor and it was breathtaking! The houses that are on the water are all so beautiful.

The weather the next few days wasn't great.  It rained off and on all day but we were still able to go to the beach.  We went to Bondi and Manly.  Manly was probably my favorite…we got drinks at a little bar with a really cute patio and great view of the ocean.


Our last night in Sydney we went to La Soiree at the Opera House.  It was a raunchy cirque du soleil type show…haha.  It was hilarious and so impressive!!  The theater we saw it in was small and intimate.  They told the audience to get up and get drinks at any point throughout the show.  It was very relaxed and so much fun.






We weren't allowed to take pictures once it started but this is a picture of inside of the theater.

I moved into my apartment yesterday and love it!! My roommates are all so sweet and helpful!
