English: Travel blog; Australia!

Day 2: Guess where I am right now?! In AUSTRALIA, SYDNEY!!
Okey, for three days ago I just won a trip to the capital of Australia, yes that’s right Sydney! I have never won a trip before, so I am so excited.
The flight trip was annoying; I sat behind a baby who cried every half an hour... So I didn’t get that much sleep. When we landed, oh my gash... It was amazing. On the flight trip I read a little about Sydney. Sydney it’s one of the famous cities in Australia and has a population on 4,575,532, Thank god Australia is an English spoken country!



After we had slept for over 14 hours (as you know, there are 11 hours different between Norway and Australia so my sleeping habit is kind of messed up...)                                                                                 Julie and I went to one of the famous performing arts center in the world :


The opera house is built by a Scandinavian person in 1978, Jørn Utzon he’s a Danish architect.                                                                                                                                   After many facebook profile picture taken on the opera. We went and ate a good Australian traditional food, meat pie and pavlova as dessert. That tasted wonderful, I just get water in the mouth by thinking of it.


Julie is a big fan of rugby, and so are the Australian’s. At the end of the day we went to see a rugby match. Funny, but it hurts to see how aggressive they are.
Right now I am just relaxing at Sydney Hilton hotel.
I am in heaven...

Day 3: Hey my friends!
Hahah! I like the way Australians talk, they have a funny accent.
Today Julie asked the hotel director where we could see some kangaroos, because as we all know, kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. Our lovely hotel director booked us a taxi and tickets to Sydney’s biggest zoo, Taronga Zoo. 
Did you know that a kangaroo can jump over 10 meters?! That’s crazy.












At the end of the Zoo, we went to Sydney’s best shopping center The Strand Arcade:
For us Norwegians everything is so cheap outside of Norway...Ha-ha! So I and Julie went… ’’Loco’’
After we had relaxed on the hotel, we went for Sydney tower walk at the night. It was a wonderful view.
Did you know that the tower is 268m high? And it’s one of the tallest buildings in Australia. The tallest building in where I live must be Tyholt tower, which is 70-80 m high (?)

Day 4: Surfing!
Water sport is very famous in Australia, therefore we went to one of the famous beaches in Sydney, Bondi Beach. On the beach there was this funny surfer who really wanted us to learn how-to-surf on one day, he didn’t leave us a. So Julie and I were like ‘’why not?’’ And the funny thing is that at the end of the day, we actually could surf… no we were not amateur!

Day 5: At the park right now!        
I am blogging from the one and only Royal Botanic Garden (Sydney’s the central park) It’s directly east for The Opera house, and the garden is so peaceful place… as they say  The Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney, is a place of natural beauty, where people come for peace, relaxation, education’’ –(http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/welcome_to_bgt/royal_botanic_garden) it’s true!  Now are just enjoying a relaxing picnic, and reloading tonight.

Day 5/6: Party!
Because last night was our last day in Sydney, we decided to have a good bye party with our self’s. You guys have no idea who we saw in Soho Bar and Lounge!! Nicole Kidman (iiik) Even though I am not a big fan of her, I can say that I got some ‘’starstruck’’ when I saw her.
Back to the last night party… one word, AWESOME! The clubs in Sydney is freaking good. We were lucky too. We were at this bar that gave out free drinks to girls. Free booze! However, at one point, the whole thing did come out of hand. Cannabis was floating around the place, and not many of the partyers could stand. However, having only tried a little, I was fine. The next day I woke up with no hangover and to men and a dog in my bed!
