Great city with adorable clothes, nice neighborhoods, young corporations, fresh, bright, and happenin’. Although, I felt like it was too big. A tiny bit like New York city. Melbourne was just my size.
Tranquil Darling Harbour 
Our carriage at the Central Rail Station YHA.We took a great free tour around Sydney with an entertaining young girl. Highly recommended. Did you know that Australians built a castle styled building on their coast so that Ireland would think they wanted peace and wouldn’t invade?! Also, Australia’s mint makes bills (as in paper money) for over 27 countries. It is plastic and therefore it is washable, bendable, and almost indestructible. Smart thinking. Also, the kangaroo and the emu are the two national symbols because they walk upright just like humans and so are viewed as domesticated animals.
Transportation was easy within Sydney as well. Not exactly cheap or even affordable, but easily accessible. Megan and I purchased some kangaroo steaks at the grocery store and I grilled them up. Mmmmmm, pretty tasty. A very sweet, tender, gamey meat. Highly recommended. I think it is even healthier than venison.
One package of Oreos: $4.94 Keep in mind, AUD is equal to USD
Can you see that price tag? 11.98 per kg for bananas... wow.
We had some orgasmic macaroons at Manly Pier.
Manly Beach
The icon of Australia: The Sydney Opera House
The immaculate bathrooms at the opera house.
I found my dream wedding ring at the Swarovski Crystal store. Well, maybe switch the crystals for diamonds...We also went to a Broadway play “The Next Room: A Vibrator Play” and kinda snuck into an opera, “Carmen”. The opera house is such an iconic complex. We hit up Manly beach, which was just a short ferry ride away. Cute little area. And stayed in a railcar at the Central Station YHA. Overall, fun place, but not where I would want to settle.
Back in Fiji
The mud pools!
