We all woke up hurting. We had originally planned to go to the Blue Mountains today. Unfortunately, it was raining and we all felt like garbage. We all made an executive decision to stay in Sydney and do some indoor tourist stuff.
We got ready and caught our hop-on hop-off bus again and took it to the Sydney Aquarium located on the harbour. Almost all tourist attractions are located near this area.
Students get great deals at most attractions. Like almost $10 off most things. It's great. Being a backpacker/student is epic when you travel here!
We went into the Aquarium which is basically aquatic life from Australia and places nearby. There were 3 underwater tunnels you could go through. We saw sharks, sting rays, dugongs (manatee/mermaid things lol) and tons of exotic fish. We also saw penguins, seahorses, crocs, reptiles, etc. It was a nice way to spend a rainy morning!
We then went for lunch at Subway because it had stopped raining. We sat on the docks and enjoyed the views. The seagulls here are so funny. They actually aren't considered dirty like they are back home. There was this one who kept squaking.. I know it sounds stupid but it was so hilarious. Alysha nearly killed it. hahahaha! Good times!
After this we decided to take a sunset boat cruise around the harbour. I can't tell you how great this was. For $28 you got an hour tour and a glass of wine/beer/whatever. Such amazing views. We just relaxed and enjoyed the view. It was really nice.
Afterwards, we bought a pizza and went right to bed. We were absolutely spent and had a big day ahead of us!!! xox
