Australia.was.EPIC.
We ate a lot, did a lot, saw a lot, and took it at our own pace!
Highlights from Sydney:
*Our first dinner (of course it's about food) at The Rocks was this awesome rocket, date, pecans, and pear salad that had GIANT chunks of blue cheese (which we should probably have not eaten all of as it was pretty rich and we paid for it later) * Best night of the trip: going out dancing at Selena Club which was at the Coogee Beach Hotel, dancing till 3am and then running directly across the street and riding the waves (in our clothes...no worries) in the Pacific Ocean- SO FUN! * 2nd best day of trip: Riding on motorcycles with our friend Michael and his bud all throughout the northern beaches of Sydney and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge! We had famous meat and veggie pies and Magnum bars: honeycomb and this new Brownie one in case you were interested... *
Highlights from Tassie (Tasmania):
*Some of the best food!: first meal there was at Machine Cafe (well-known bc has good food AND you can wash your unmentionables!) where I had grilled haloumi cheese for the first time- my gosh it was heavenly. there was also free salmon samples at this Salmon shop as Tassie is famous for their salmon (among SO MANY other things- they have just the right temperature so they can grow a variety of things that other places can't....ex. poppy seeds!) * Best day of trip: We did a tour out to Wineglass Bay, Freycinet Penisula and National Park, The Friendly Beaches, and more! It was so fun to be in the park and listen to the sound of the wind, we went into this cave our tour guide had found which was SUPER cool * Cascade Brewery- Oldest Brewery in AU...really fun, found some extra tokens so that made it more fun! * Tasmanian Devil Park where we saw some ravenous tassie devils get fed...in general they're pretty stupid but sure love their raw meat * Got some awesome Jumpy photos! * all in all just had a really fun time enjoying ACTUAL winter weather!*
Highlights of Melbourne (prouncounced Melbin that is!)
* I think the St. Kilda Music Festival was by far our favorite- they have this festival all along the St. Kilda Pier and have ALL different kinds of bands/entertainment come and perform at random bars/shops in the area- SO COOL! One corner was legit Jazz, one corner acoustic Michael Buble, another 90's rock music, and then our favorite was this hippy style band called ** freaking awesome! We were dancing mid-day with a bunch of other awesome people! PLUS that was the day we had dark chocolate fondu for two which included churros, the spanish donut- MY GOSH* Outdoor Cinema in the Royal Botanical Gardens- it was a bit chilly but it was still cool, just had to drink wine to stay warm * Ate Kangaroo here too with the family we stayed with! surprisingly good!* A cooking class- which we thought we'd be at our own stations but it ended up being just us watching this guy while we all sat and drank wine...which we actually ended up preferring!*
