Day 9
Today was a sad day for us. We can’t believe that 9 days
had already passed by and in a couple of hours we will be going back to a cold
Sweden. There are so much more you can see but we have seen everything we
wanted to see or do. We don’t regret anything we just wish we could live her
and not go home but that would never happen. To not feel depress or sad we went
to the beach for the last time to be with our wonderful friends we had met while
we were here and celebrate the last day together in Australia. We grilled and
eat so much food, swam in hours and danced on the shore and sang and just had a
very nice time with friends. Now we are sitting in the taxi on our way to the
airport. We are really not exited to sit in the plane in 6 hours. Right now we
just want to go back to the hotel and lay in our bed and finish our series. We are
going to miss everything in Australia and everything we did there. But we also
miss Sweden! If you guys have some idea to visit Australia, DO IT. You will not
regret it. And if you do that, promise us that you are going to visit The
Sydney Opera House!!! It is really worth it! Hope you guys enjoyed and loved
our blog. And maybe we are going to write more, and who knows, maybe we are
going to visit another country? Anyway, goodnight and thank you all for reading
the blog and thank you for all the comments and likes you gave us!

Day 8
Is one day left before we leave this
beautiful country so we decided to do more things todays so we have tried out
everything before we go back to Sweden. Our day started off with a cold drink
at the beach and sunbathed. We went later on to “Australian museum”. Is museums
were you look at important animal, mineral, fossil
and anthropological collections, and prides itself on its innovative research
into Australia's environment and indigenous cultures. You can also learn many
things about Aboriginal culture. We took many beautiful picture at all
interesting things we saw at the museum. You can also say that we learned a lot
more that we already knew from before. After this beautiful guide we got we
wanted to see how an Australian church looked like. The church “Church hill
Angelica” can we tell you guys was one of the peacefully and beautifully church
we ever had been in. every light and picture just took our eyes and the priest
speech was so calm and beautiful to listen to. We very much loved the church
and we know that our family back home would love it to so we took many pictures
of the church and the art gallery. We were there a couple of hours and later we
went back to the hotel to pack some of the stuff. We did it fast because we had
a table reservation.
The Aboriginal, it
means “the first” or “earlies known”. Australia was the home of the world’s
first people. Today they are not so many left living.
Australian Museum is a
museum where you can learn all you want to learn about Australia and there
culture and history
Church Hill Angelica,
Also call st Phillips Church. Is the oldest Anglican Church parish in
Australia.
Is located in the Sydney City Center

Day 7
It was a very restful day today. We did not
or rather say we could not do everything we planned to do. We wake up early
from the sound of the rain. We were so shocked and also depress because we had
planned so much for today but instead we did many thing in the hotel. We
started are day with a breakfast, we tried out Vegemite with bread. My cousin
Maria liked it but a thought it tasted bad so a ate eggs instead. Later on we
chilled by the jacuzzi that we have I our room and just watched TV. Maria
thought that later it would be fun to bring some friends over and snacks up to
our room to just hang. It was fun but the room is a mess so right know Maria is
Cleaning wile I am bogging. We also made a few calls to our parents and family
back home, we told them how happy we are back here and they just responded with
a depress sound “ we have Snow here in Sweden” so we sent them some picture to
made them jealous.
Here is some of the Australian snacks we ate
at our hotel:
Tim Tam, it is a bran of chocolate biscuit
and its only available in several countries. A Tim
Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light
chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate.
You can get both dark and milk chocolate but my favorite was milk chocolate.
Fantales, another good chocolate snacks. Is
made up of chewy caramel coated milk chocolate. It says that is the tales of
movie fans that make it famous. We did not think it was any difference from the
snacks we have in Sweden.

Day 6
Today we had I wonderful day at the beach.
We brought food with us and a couple of friends that we meet on our first day
at the hotel. We had a lot of fun, at first we were sunbathing but most of the
time we bathed. But it was many strange things that happened at the beach. One
of our friends that we meet at the hotel was bitten by a jellyfish, but
apparently is normal because they have many jellyfish in Australian beaches She
was in a lot of pain and we heard that pee can take away the pain so she did
it, she went to the bathroom to pee on hear foot. It may sound crazy or funny
but it is how you can do if you get
bitten. There was also many signs warning of sharks attack so you most be very
careful when you get in to the water. But anyway later at nigh me, maria and
our friends went to a fancy restaurant were we ate grilled kangaroo, Australian
national animal. It was good because they put many difference spices and
potatoes at the side of it. Later for dessert we had Lamington, is often referred to as “ National
cake of Australia”.
The beach in Sydney call palm beach. It is a
famous beach because it is use for filming soap opera series.
Here is a good picture of the tastefully
Grilled Kangaroo we ate as main course. It wasn't so good as we hoped but we
survived the most of it. For those who like spicy food and meat try it.
This is the delicious dessert “Lamington”
that we had, it had a layer of Chocolate icing and desiccated coconuts. A
recommended it badly for those who love chocolate to try it if you go on a trip
to Australia

Day 5
Hello readers! Today was a BIG shopping day! We woke up at
09.00 am and eat breakfast in the balcony in our hotel. The weather was really
good even if they said that it was going to rain the whole day, but it didn’t so
it was really good for us. Today we eat a typical Australian breakfast,
cornflakes with milk, bacon with eggs and sausage and fruit juice. We went out
from the hotel at 13.00 and took the taxi to a shopping mall in Sydney called,
Westfield Sydney. It was so big that we couldn’t go to every shop. When we were
in Victoria Secret shop we couldn’t go out. We have never seen a big shop like
that shop. We spent together 3.000 Swedish crowns. We buy everything we saw and
we put it in put big bags like we brought with us from Sweden (especially for
the shopping). We took a pause and sat close to the Opera House and met those
friends from Sweden we talked about yesterday and decided to do something funny
together. We decided after we talked about it in 1 hour that we could go to an
amusement park and just chill and learn to know each other. We all tried a few
roller coasters and we have never ever in our whole live laughed like we did. We
really liked them and we are definitely staying in touch when we get home. We came
home at 22.30 and we did a plan about tomorrow, about what we are going to do.
We decided to go to the beach and just have a chill day together without stress
:) we are now in bed and we must sleep now so we can wake up early tomorrow! Goodnight!

Day 4
We
woke up today with the biggest smiles in our face, because today we visited the
Sydney Opera House (SOH). SOH is one of the world’s most famous buildings where
you can listen and look at opera and symphony orchestra. It is a really
beautiful building and really big. Just being there was a good feeling! The
Opera House building is made of 1056,006 white tiles, and the tiles was made in
Sweden. Jorn Utzon who is from Denmark was the architect for the building and
inaugurated it on 20 october, 1973. I am going to upload a picture of the opera
house so you can see how wonderful it is. And we hope some of you readers want
to visit Australia because it is a wonderful experience. After we watched the
opera we went to a famous restaurant called Quay. It is really close to SOH so
you can see the whole building and the blue sea around the Opera House. Ohhh it
was so beautiful that i want to visit it again. Anyway… after we eat in Quay we
went to cinema and watched a movie. It was funny but we were so tired so we want
out from the cinema when it had gone one hour from the movie because we couldn’t
keep our eyes open. We fell asleep every 15 minutes. We went home and ordered
some drinks and snacks and watched Pretty Little Liars instead, it was much
funnier. Anyway… we are too tired to write longer than this so goodnight guys
:)!

Day 3
Hey guys. It was an amazing day today! You are not going to believe what we saw in the zoo today. First we woke up and ate breakfast. It was an ordinary Swedish breakfast. Then we took a taxi to a small town, Yarralumla, close to the hotel. We saw many famous buildings on our way to the zoo. We saw one of the most visited building in Australia, the Sydney Opera House, but I´m going to talk about it soon. We were in the taxi for about 30 minutes and then arrived to the National Zoo and Aquarium. The weather was so good so we both went to the zoo with t-shirts and shorts. Two tickets cost us 34.69 AUD, it equals up to 200 SEK, so it wasn’t so bad. First we went to the monkeys. They were so cute and funny when they jumped around among the trees. We later went to see the kangaroos; some of them even had baby kangaroos in their pouch. It’s normal to see kangaroos here, because it is part of Australia’s nature and a typical Australian animal. We also saw crocodiles, elephants, tigers, lions and other animals. We took a small break to eat something and then we went to the Aquarium to see the sharks and the fishes. It was really cool with the colours and the blue water. After a while we felt really tired and we just wanted to sit down and just chill. So we went to a place close to the zoo and sat there and met new friends from Sweden who also came to Australia to just to visit and have a little vacation, like us. It was 10 o´clock when we came home. We ate dinner in the lobby and now we are sitting in our beds and watching a series called, Pretty Little Liars. So goodnight everyone and take care of yourselfes!
