Oh Sydney

So it has been over a month since I last wrote and my dear that is awful. I didn't really think that there was a lot to write about. But now I realise I have less than three weeks in Australia and I should probably recap. The last two months have been full of school and final projects. Kevin, Kristine and I took a study break to check out the breathtaking walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. It takes over an hour and winds its way through a very old and equally large cemetary which was kind of creepy, but offers the best views of the ocean from the Eastern suburbs.
Then came exams and the end of school. Kristine graduated with her Bachelor of Arts and is no longer a student!
There was a very cool festival in the Rocks, which is the neighbourhood we live in. It was called the Vivid light festival and they lit up the Opera House with crazy colours for a full two weeks!
We've also had lots of visitors, which has been great and has kept us busy. Mal was here from Toronto and my cousin Britt and her boyfriend Carey were here from Calgary.
So know Kristine and I find ourselves with a week in Sydney catching up with the friends we've made, then Kristine's mom comes for a visit, they head to Cairns, I head to Perth and then we move out of the apartment and I fly home!
So much in so little time!
There really isn't much else to shock you with - no more falling out of planes and crawling kilometers underground. But I will write once more before this adventure is over and then its back to Canada, Toronto and school for me.
Hope everyone is having a great summer and see you soon!
