Today was our last day in Sydney and we tried to make the best of it. For the first time on our trip we’re leaving a place when we aren’t ready. We knew we wouldn’t have enough time in Australia, but figured it’s one of those countries you can come to and enjoy regardless of age.

We hit some of the places we’ve come to enjoy over the past few weeks including the little pub that makes breakfast sandwiches with bacon, egg and tomato. After our tasty sandwich, we visited the Sydney museum which has some excellent exhibits on the native Australian people, the Aborigines, and a National Geographic photo display of the Australian countryside. We lost ourselves in the history and truly enjoyed our time.

After the museum we took a final walk through the Botanical Gardens, down by the Sydney Opera House and then headed to Darling Harbor. The sun was shining during our walk, but the weather was a little cooler than it has been during our time here.

We made our way back to our posh room at the Marriott (thanks to some gift cards we had) to pack-up before our final evening in Sydney. We’re heading out with the gang—Elise, Ben and Myles—for our final dinner and of course a few drinks.

We definitely have fond memories of Sydney and Australia as a whole. We don’t know when we’ll be back; however, we do believe another trip to Australia is in our future. There are plenty of sites to see and a lot of land ripe for exploring.
