Sydney day 1

Breakfast at Alexanders on the park right by Hyde park. Talked to 2 girls that go to uni here! They were so amazed with our accents and kept asking us hillarious questions such as: do you go to summer camp? Like in the movies, is that real?! Haha they couldn't get over our sorority letters they thought it was the neatest thing ever when I said zeta tau alpha. It was a fun conversation! We walked to the harbor through Hyde Park and passed st.mary's cathedral (grandma I got you a picture)! Passed a lot of musuems and finally got to the harbour and saw the harbour bridge and opera house! Everything was so pretty! We got gelato and got on the ferry for our 10 minute ride to the taronga zoo. Best experience at the zoo ever! We saw all types of kangaroos and wallabees and they were in the open so they would hop behind us and were everywhere! Then we paid 10 each and got to go to this designated area and learn about the koalas and get literally an inch away from them and take pictures with them. We were allowed to get as close as we wanted without touching them. The zookeepers don't even touch them, it keeps them calmer and helps them trust humans more. Got amazing pictures and then got to see the rest of the zoo. We stayed for the day then took the ferry back and walked around "the rocks" which is a town on the harbour. Walked a lot today and then went to this place for dinner in china town that this lady recommended but it looked nasty so we left and went to the pub. We're pretty sure the food was just microwaved and it was disgusting. Going to bed and climbing the harbour bridge in the morning!!
