Hi y'all!

Friday the day had finally arrived, dad and Falco would arrive in Sydney. Unfortunately their plane from Singapore had a really bad delay, so they didn't arrive until late that night..

The next day everyone slept in, but at noon I decided to wake them up, so we could still do something during our first day. I took them on a bit of highlight tour through Sydney, we started by walking to Town Hall, where we went into the Queen Victoria Building. After looking around for a bit, we walked back to Hyde Park, from where we went into the St Mary's Cathedral. Once we started walking towards Mrs Macquarie's Chair through the Royal Botanic Gardens, the sun started to set, which meant that the light show on the Opera House would almost start.

On Sunday we went to the Circular Quay, from where we walked to the Opera House, before getting on a ferry to Watsons Bay. Once we got up to the lookout point, Falco spotted a whale in the water. That was the first of many whales we'd see this week. We got on the bus and drove to Bondi Beach where we went to San Churro. Once we got back to Circular Quay, we decided to go up the Sydney Tower Eye, where we had an amazing view of the sunset.

Monday we went on the other half of our highlight tour. We started in Darling Harbour and from there, made our way up to the Harbour Bridge. Once we'd made our way across the bridge, we got on the train back to central station. From there we slowly walked back to our hotel.

Tuesday we went whale watching! The first two hours of our tour, not a lot happened, besides the tails or back sticking out of the water from time to time. But during the last 30 to 45 minutes they suddenly started jumping out of the water, which was amazing!

The next day we got on a ferry to Taronga Zoo, it's in the middle of the city and you've got a couple of amazing views. They had a couple of baby gorillas and a baby elephant. After the zoo we got on a ferry to Manly, where we had dinner with a view of the water.

On Thursday we rented a car, so we could drive up to Nelson Bay, where we did a kangaroo encounter on a golf course. We saw lots of kangaroos and a couple of joeys.

The next day we drove to the Blue Mountains, our first stop was Echo Point, where we had a look at the Three Sisters. After that we drove to the Katoomba Falls, from where we had an amazing view of the falls and the Three Sisters, bit without all the tourists. Our third and last stop was Govetts Leap Lookout, where we did a little hike to the waterfall. You could walk across the river that ended in the waterfall to another lookout point. After that hike, we drove back to Sydney, so we could pack our bags.

This morning we got picked up at the hotel at 4.40am. It didn't take us long to get to the airport, so now we're waiting to start boarding onto the aircraft.

I won't be uploading any pictures yet, because most of them are on my laptop, which I can't use at the moment. I'll try to upload them as soon as possible though.

Cheers!
