Ozzie Land

Now that things are good and settled, FINALLY, I thought I'd share some of my experiences in Australia. The main reason we had gone was because my older brother was getting engaged so we thought, what the heck, let's go to Australia and celebrate HA HA! Kidding, his fiance is Australian and one of the sweetest, funniest, and loveable woman I'm lucky to have in my life. So while there we decided to tour as much of Sydney as we could before hopping back to the other side of the ocean. Even though technically the season was winter, it was beautiful, fun, and lush! Living in the desert, water and green is refreshing! Lol. And going from America, I fell in love with the Australian accent all over again, but it was funny because people I met there liked mine! Plain ol' American XD? But alas, I truly miss it, and can't wait to go again! So without further ado, PICTURES!



So we simply HAD to see the Harbor Bridge and Sydney Opera House other wise I wasn't going to come back home lol. We were on the ferry at the time heading for the Taronga Zoo.
It's splendid when you're up close and personal! I heard that you can walk on top of the bridge but it costs buckets, so we detoured on that =P.


We got to go on trams for the Sky Safari at the zoo, and the first stop we took was where the kangaroos were. And...that's how we found 'em, lazing around, without a care in the world. Refused to acknowledged us :(. As a matter of fact, most of the zoo animals ignored us, 'cept for the tigers. They were such posers XD. Kinda depressing to see em bored but that's zoos I suppose.


After our adventure all around the zoo, we decided to go to Luna Park! And that giant half face is what you have to walk under in order to enter. Look at those lashes! Bizarre. The wild mouse nearly gave me a heart attack though, every turn made me scream, but LOVED it! We also did see an aboriginal playing the didgeridoo, with some techno beat involved. Very interesting, wish I took a photo -_-. All in all, good day, that was.

We also took pit stops pretty much wherever the train stopped lol, and I when I saw this bilboard, I HAD (not really) to take a photo!


And people have been raving about the ice cream too! We also got to see Laperuz and Tempe (I hope I spelled that correctly). The castle thing though...have no idea what its for, but was nice to look at.



Towards the end of the trip was the engagement party and I was able to finally put my bangles and other blings to good use!




I will say, the earrings sorta killed...they wrap around your ear at the top  and then dangle. It was heavy, gorgeous, and OUCH! In case though if you were wondering what the bride to be's dress looked like, I have a photo, but its from stock. It is beautiful with so many rhinestones and with a hoop under lol, and makes anyone feel like a princess.


After all the fun and games, and on our way back home, we got stuck in the airport for about 10 hours, so to kill time, I played run from the camera with my little brother...


And we stared at airplanes, at which my little brother proceeded to label them as "mommy planes" and " baby planes." Yes, we were that bored!

So there's a bit of my trip, hope it entertained you for a bit LOL, and I will definitely post up photos of things I brought home with me =). Stay happy guys!

P.S. I call it Ozzie land because that's how it sounds and well...it went from there  lol
