These past few weeks have been so much fun, but I really loved this week in particular. We did a lot of "touristy" things, but hey, we are kind of tourists after all! Last Friday night we spontaneously went to Luna Park, an old carnival type amusement part over across the harbor. It was so cute, everything was all lit up and it had classic rides like the Ferris Wheel. We had a blast, I loved it! We also went bowling this week at this cool bowling bar and somehow I actually won! I hadn't bowled in a while so it was fun to do it again with new people. At the bowling bar, we also did this challenge called escapism. Basically you and your group get locked in a room and you have to put together clues to figure out how to "escape." It was so stinking hard! But we finally set our selves free with just 10 seconds left on the clock! (We had to use every single hint, but that's besides the point).
One of the highlights of the week was when we went to a Koala Breakfast! It was at the Wildlife Center in Darling Harbor and they took us on a tour through the center and then at the end we had freshly made breakfast next to several koala exhibits. We were able to go inside the exhibits and get our pictures taken right up next to the Koalas, but we weren't allowed to touch them:( That was a bummer, but it was still awesome to get to hang out with the cute little guys for a while.
Then on Saturday, I went with a group to a nice area called Hunter Valley. It was about a 3 hour bus ride there, but it was so worth it because the landscape was breathtaking! The picture above does not do it justice. Hunter Valley is one of the major wine countries of Australia, so we did two wine tastings and a cheese tasting as well. It was super fun! I had never done anything like it before so it was neat to have that new experience and learn about the different types of wine and how they are made. It was definitely a good and eventful week:)
