Day 9
Today was a sad day for us. We can’t believe that 9 days had already passed by and in a couple of hours we will be going back to a cold Sweden. There are so much more you can see but we have seen everything we wanted to see or do. We don’t regret anything we just wish we could live her and not go home but that would never happen. To not feel depress or sad we went to the beach for the last time to be with our wonderful friends we had met while we were here and celebrate the last day together in Australia. We grilled and eat so much food, swam in hours and danced on the shore and sang and just had a very nice time with friends. Now we are sitting in the taxi on our way to the airport. We are really not exited to sit in the plane in 6 hours. Right now we just want to go back to the hotel and lay in our bed and finish our series. We are going to miss everything in Australia and everything we did there. But we also miss Sweden! If you guys have some idea to visit Australia, DO IT. You will not regret it. And if you do that, promise us that you are going to visit The Sydney Opera House!!! It is really worth it! Hope you guys enjoyed and loved our blog. And maybe we are going to write more, and who knows, maybe we are going to visit another country? Anyway, goodnight and thank you all for reading the blog and thank you for all the comments and likes you gave us!

Day 8

Is one day left before we leave this beautiful country so we decided to do more things todays so we have tried out everything before we go back to Sweden. Our day started off with a cold drink at the beach and sunbathed. We went later on to “Australian museum”. Is museums were you look at important animal, mineral, fossil and anthropological collections, and prides itself on its innovative research into Australia's environment and indigenous cultures. You can also learn many things about Aboriginal culture. We took many beautiful picture at all interesting things we saw at the museum. You can also say that we learned a lot more that we already knew from before. After this beautiful guide we got we wanted to see how an Australian church looked like. The church “Church hill Angelica” can we tell you guys was one of the peacefully and beautifully church we ever had been in. every light and picture just took our eyes and the priest speech was so calm and beautiful to listen to. We very much loved the church and we know that our family back home would love it to so we took many pictures of the church and the art gallery. We were there a couple of hours and later we went back to the hotel to pack some of the stuff. We did it fast because we had a table reservation.

The Aboriginal, it means “the first” or “earlies known”. Australia was the home of the world’s first people. Today they are not so many left living.

Australian Museum is a museum where you can learn all you want to learn about Australia and there culture and history

Church Hill Angelica, Also call st Phillips Church. Is the oldest Anglican Church parish in

Day 7

It was a very restful day today. We did not or rather say we could not do everything we planned to do. We wake up early from the sound of the rain. We were so shocked and also depress because we had planned so much for today but instead we did many thing in the hotel. We started are day with a breakfast, we tried out Vegemite with bread. My cousin Maria liked it but a thought it tasted bad so a ate eggs instead. Later on we chilled by the jacuzzi that we have I our room and just watched TV. Maria thought that later it would be fun to bring some friends over and snacks up to our room to just hang. It was fun but the room is a mess so right know Maria is Cleaning wile I am bogging. We also made a few calls to our parents and family back home, we told them how happy we are back here and they just responded with a depress sound “ we have Snow here in Sweden” so we sent them some picture to made them jealous.

Here is some of the Australian snacks we ate at our hotel:

Tim Tam, it is a bran of chocolate biscuit and its only available in several countries. A Tim Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate. You can get both dark and milk chocolate but my favorite was milk chocolate.

Fantales, another good chocolate snacks. Is made up of chewy caramel coated milk chocolate. It says that is the tales of movie fans that make it famous. We did not think it was any difference from the snacks we have in Sweden.

Day 6

Today we had I wonderful day at the beach. We brought food with us and a couple of friends that we meet on our first day at the hotel. We had a lot of fun, at first we were sunbathing but most of the time we bathed. But it was many strange things that happened at the beach. One of our friends that we meet at the hotel was bitten by a jellyfish, but apparently is normal because they have many jellyfish in Australian beaches She was in a lot of pain and we heard that pee can take away the pain so she did it, she went to the bathroom to pee on hear foot. It may sound crazy or funny but  it is how you can do if you get bitten. There was also many signs warning of sharks attack so you most be very careful when you get in to the water. But anyway later at nigh me, maria and our friends went to a fancy restaurant were we ate grilled kangaroo, Australian national animal. It was good because they put many difference spices and potatoes at the side of it. Later for dessert we had  Lamington, is often referred to as “ National cake of Australia”. 

The beach in Sydney call palm beach. It is a famous beach because it is use for filming soap opera series.

Here is a good picture of the tastefully Grilled Kangaroo we ate as main course. It wasn't so good as we hoped but we survived the most of it. For those who like spicy food and meat try it.

This is the delicious dessert “Lamington” that we had, it had a layer of Chocolate icing and desiccated coconuts. A recommended it badly for those who love chocolate to try it if you go on a trip to Australia

Day 5

Hello readers! Today was a BIG shopping day! We woke up at 09.00 am and eat breakfast in the balcony in our hotel. The weather was really good even if they said that it was going to rain the whole day, but it didn’t so it was really good for us. Today we eat a typical Australian breakfast, cornflakes with milk, bacon with eggs and sausage and fruit juice. We went out from the hotel at 13.00 and took the taxi to a shopping mall in Sydney called, Westfield Sydney. It was so big that we couldn’t go to every shop. When we were in Victoria Secret shop we couldn’t go out. We have never seen a big shop like that shop. We spent together 3.000 Swedish crowns. We buy everything we saw and we put it in put big bags like we brought with us from Sweden (especially for the shopping). We took a pause and sat close to the Opera House and met those friends from Sweden we talked about yesterday and decided to do something funny together. We decided after we talked about it in 1 hour that we could go to an amusement park and just chill and learn to know each other. We all tried a few roller coasters and we have never ever in our whole live laughed like we did. We really liked them and we are definitely staying in touch when we get home. We came home at 22.30 and we did a plan about tomorrow, about what we are going to do. We decided to go to the beach and just have a chill day together without stress :) we are now in bed and we must sleep now so we can wake up early tomorrow! Goodnight!

Day 4

We woke up today with the biggest smiles in our face, because today we visited the Sydney Opera House (SOH). SOH is one of the world’s most famous buildings where you can listen and look at opera and symphony orchestra. It is a really beautiful building and really big. Just being there was a good feeling! The Opera House building is made of 1056,006 white tiles, and the tiles was made in Sweden. Jorn Utzon who is from Denmark was the architect for the building and inaugurated it on 20 october, 1973. I am going to upload a picture of the opera house so you can see how wonderful it is. And we hope some of you readers want to visit Australia because it is a wonderful experience. After we watched the opera we went to a famous restaurant called Quay. It is really close to SOH so you can see the whole building and the blue sea around the Opera House. Ohhh it was so beautiful that i want to visit it again. Anyway… after we eat in Quay we went to cinema and watched a movie. It was funny but we were so tired so we want out from the cinema when it had gone one hour from the movie because we couldn’t keep our eyes open. We fell asleep every 15 minutes. We went home and ordered some drinks and snacks and watched Pretty Little Liars instead, it was much funnier. Anyway… we are too tired to write longer than this so goodnight guys :)!

Day 3
Hey guys. It was an amazing day today! You are not going to believe what we saw in the zoo today. First we woke up and ate breakfast. It was an ordinary Swedish breakfast. Then we took a taxi to a small town, Yarralumla, close to the hotel. We saw many famous buildings on our way to the zoo. We saw one of the most visited building in Australia, the Sydney Opera House, but I´m going to talk about it soon. We were in the taxi for about 30 minutes and then  arrived to the National Zoo and Aquarium. The weather was so good so we both went to the zoo with t-shirts and shorts. Two tickets cost us 34.69 AUD, it equals up to 200 SEK, so it wasn’t so bad. First we went to the monkeys. They were so cute and funny when they jumped around among the trees. We later went to see the kangaroos; some of them even had baby kangaroos in their pouch. It’s normal to see kangaroos here, because it is part of Australia’s nature and a typical Australian animal. We also saw crocodiles, elephants, tigers, lions and other animals. We took a small break to eat something and then we went to the Aquarium to see the sharks and the fishes. It was really cool with the colours and the blue water. After a while we felt really tired and we just wanted to sit down and just chill. So we went to a place close to the zoo and sat there and met new friends from Sweden who also came to Australia to just to visit and have a little vacation, like us. It was 10 o´clock when we came home. We ate dinner in the lobby and now we are sitting in our beds and watching a series called, Pretty Little Liars. So goodnight everyone and take care of yourselfes!
