Today we spent the whole day on the Reef and it was soo amazing! We snorkled in two places and saw tons of fish. Angel and Butterfly were the two most common types! We did not see any sharks or sea snakes so I was happy. On the way out to the reef it took 90 minutes and and bunch of us sat on the bow of the boat and got toally soaked. I think the skipper was trying to throw us over! We got a really cool picture of us underwater also! I even got to wear this awesome wet suit! haha not really but it was fun and kept me warm. It was a bit cloudy but still very very fun!
Hello from Down Under! The flight from LAX to Sydney was liek 14 hours. We actually slept like 6 hours straight so that was nice. we got two meals a dinner two hours into the flight and a breakfast two hours before we landed. The plane had two floors but only the business class could use the lounge upstairs. Also we got free alcohol while on the plane. Customs was odd I was freaking out but amanda told me that i would be ok..i checked yes in the box because i had prepackaged food like pretzels and stuff they just looked at it and told me i was gonig to be ok haha. then we went on our first bus tour to our hotel and then we went on a lunch cruise of the harbor it was fantasitc. we all took some great pictures. I would not mind living here but its like 10-30 million dollars a house. Then we took a bus tour of all the suburbs which was cool to see the different areas. One area has a legal heroine injection store. how odddd! then we were on our own for dinner. the whole crew decided to go...
Sunday morning was a bit rough waking up after a time change, drinks and jet lag...but we made it out of the house by 915 to get on the train into London. The people watching in other countries is fantastic and here it did not disappoint! On our walk to the train station, we passed an old Abbey where King Henry VIII had monks killed when he pulled away from the catholic church since he wanted a divorce. |The abbey was then left to rot and the remains are still there. It was a cool tale to hear along our walk. We rode like cattle in the train to London, it is the most popular train route and once arrived headed out of Paddington station to find our hostel in St Paul's area. |We dropped off our stuff and headed out to walk down the embankment towards the London Eye. |We booked tickets ahead of time to avoid lines so we took in some sights along the way. |we saw somerset house, London eye and big Ben from afar, walked up to Parliament and around to Westminster (we will go in tomorrow ...
