Adventures

I stayed in Coogee Beach in Sydney when I first arrived in Australia. I made many new friends and went to the Taronga Zoo with my friend Sarah. Sarah is a chef from Canada who is now working on Rottnest Island. Sarah and I also visited the Opera House. While I was there, I was able to buy a ticket for the most popular and previously sold-out show, The Phantom of the Opera. It cost me an arm and a leg, but I was 6 rows from the stage and sat next to a lovely lady named Jill who was in Australia for work from Wisconsin. Lastly, I did the Coogee to Bondi Coastal Walk with Sarah. It took about 2 hours but was definitely worth all the time it took. It is one of the prettiest views and a great way to enjoy the coast of Sydney. After only 4 days in the city, I hopped on a coach bus to head to my next destination, Melbourne. I booked an "Oz Intro Tour" with a company called Intro Travel to help me settle into my new country, meet people, and get ready to start traveling and working.
