Australia- Melbourne

After our trip to Sydney we went down to Melbourne for a few days to just relax. Of course we spent some great times with our friend Shannon. She was our designated tour guide, and she did a great job. We had lunch with friends, went shopping (Ashton found a great coat) and we found some cool picture spots. Melbourne is a bit more laid back than Sydney. melbourne seeems a bit more liberal!

We took a day trip up to a Wildlife Sanctuary and got to pet a kangaroo! We then did a few winery tours and tastings. All in all, our last day in Melbourne was quite relaxing. We even got a few bottles home to enjoy later.

Melbourne was such a great time and I really enjoyed the time with Ashton. It will be great to take David there next time.

Australia- Sydney Adventure

Although this adventure does not involved David, it was still worth posting! Ashton (my brother) met me in Sydney last week and we toured Australia for a week! Sydney was our first stop...and we enjoyed good food, great company, seafood and good wine. We also got to see the Opera house, Botanical Gardens and the Harbour Bridge.

The biggest thrill of Sydney was the Sunday service at Hillsong. It felt so good to be back in a church like that. We both definately enjoyed it.

Sydney was cooler than planned on, but we had a great time shopping the local farmers market (got some wine shipped home to remember Australia by) and found some funky wares. Our hotel was about 6 blocks from the Opera house and thus we ate dinner every night by the water overlooking the Opera House. Need I say it was way cool?! I will probably find a way to get back there one day.
