Today, I had a blast in Sydney. Flying in was really fun because when you fly in, you pass over the bay with the opera house and bridge. I liked seeing the famous landmarks from the sky. After we landed, we immediately went to our next hotel, the Travelodge in Sydney. After quickly dropping our luggage off, we started a walking tour of the city. We traveled from the hotel to the city's main park named Hyde Park. In Hyde Park we saw a cool war memorial and fountain to commemerate the fallen soldiers of World War I and II. After we took our photographs, we walked to a mall. The mall was very high- end and I didn't like it because there was nothing to buy because everything was so expensive. After we were all done shopping, we went up the Sydney Tower. We spent a lot of time up there because Alec told us a brief history of the city. We also took many pictures up there and bought many souveniers. After we all got down from the tower, we walked over to the bay and got our first up close encounters with both the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Bridge. we stopped at a little point and took many photos and shopped a little in the surrounding stores at the Rocks. I really enjoyed today because of all the exciting places we went to and all the cultural expieriences we had.
