Alright, so we flew into Sydney. Didn't have the highest expectations...kinda figured Sydney would be the Toronto of Australia. Pretty much right. In my opinion, Sydney was just another big city. It wasn't really THAT beautiful as others say, but it was ok. The Opera House is kinda disappointing. I expected this amazing, shining white piece of architecture, but it's really just a tiled off-white coloured building. Granted we did have crappy weather while we were there, but what can I say? We did meet up with a friend we met in Thailand, so that was good.
Next, we flew to Cairns in Queensland. Holy hot Batman, 30 above and humid. But that's alright, we ended up taking our open water divng course (scuba diving), and dived on the Great Barrier Reef. Now that puts Sydney to shame. The largest living organism in the world, it can be seen from space, and it shows. Not to mention the beautiful sea life in and around the reef. We're now certified to dive up to 18 meters deep. Nice!
