Today is my first day in Sydney, Australia. It’s late fall here which is a nice change from the crazy unpredictable PMS weather in NYC right now. Aaron is here on business so most of these journal entries shall be of my own adventures.
I did however, meet up with Aaron for breakfast and he tried to order vegemite on his toast….I think I may have lost my husband in the week he was here alone.
I went for a jog this afternoon in the Royal Botanical Gardens. I like that it’s free. The one in Brooklyn charges $15 admission….it was beautiful!!! Not only were the plants different, but the birds walking around there were too. A lot of curved beaked guys walking around. On my job I got to pass both the Sydney Harbour Bridge AND the Sydney Opera House. Already, I feel like I have seen the Australia you see in pictures.
I also went to the Sydney Wildlife World today. The koalas were so frickin’ cute, I couldn’t stand it. They actually had a ton of animals there. I was expecting a little zoo and a little run down. The animals all looked very healthy and happy. They had this HUGE croc named Rex! When I say huge, I mean “he can go 12 months without eating” huge! I also learned that crocs hold all their fat in their tails…so instead of having waist issues like humans, lady crocs are probably self conscious about their fat ass tails! Also, the cutest animal ever is the wombat! Holy shit, that little fur ball waddles like a welsh corgi. How adorable. I just wanted to put a little bandana around its neck and make it talk with an Aussie accent.
We’re staying above a hotel in the heart of the city and we have a spectacular view of Sydney….the only thing that would make the view better is if we were facing the other direction. We can’t see the bridge or the opera house from here. But hey, you can’t have everything.
PS, check out the frickin' cute wombat! OMG, it looks A.DOR.ABLE! Yes, I really just wrote with periods like a teenager! It was necessary!
