G'Day Mates!




G'day fellow yanks...we are here in Australia after a long bumpy 15 hour flight. We arrived at 6am and struggled through 1 long day to try and adapt to the time change, which I think we have successfully done! On Thursday we walked from our hostel to the opera house and then into the downtown area. It was all we could do to stay awake. It's very beautiful here...blue skies and very similar to San Diego in some ways. We met a San Diegan within minutes of leaving our hostel. Funny hugh? 7,000 mls or 12,000 km (if my math does me right) from home and we meet someone from the same city. Yesterday we took a ferry to "Manly Beach." It was gorgeous lined with pine trees and soft sand beaches. From there we took a 7mile or 12Km hike around the bay through the forest. Anyways...here are some pictures of our first 2 days down under.
