One of my last trips into Sydney (for now!)

The Opera House from the Harbour Bridge
     With three days left in the study abroad trip, I wanted to make sure that I had seen everything in Sydney!  I had two things that I still wanted to do in Sydney which were seeing Luna Park and walking across the Harbour Bridge (why have I not done that yet???)


Sydney

     Luna Park was on the other side of the Harbour Bridge, so everything worked out very well.  Sarah, Kelly, and I took the ferry to Sydney and then walked across the bridge.  Of course, we stopped to take some pictures!  It was such a beautiful day and a perfect day to spend in Sydney!  
     Luna Park was our first stop!  When we arrived at the entrance, we were greeted by uhhh. . .a somewhat creepy smiling clown.  Actually, the entrance WAS the clown- you walk through the mouth to get to the park.  
      On a different note- want to provide hours of entertainment and laughs?  Take a picture of the entrance to Luna Park and upload it to Facebook.  Then, tag whoever you want as the creepy clown face.  If you are feeling particularly funny, add something in the caption.
     I did this to my brother.  After I tagged him in the picture, I wrote, "It has your eyes!!! And your smile!"  Secretly thinking that I got him, then he wrote back, "and your rosy cheeks." He is so funny. NOT!
     Anyway, we walked around Luna Park and Sarah got cotton candy!  In Australia, it is called Ferry Floss!  The view of Sydney and the Harbour Bridge from Luna Park was a new perspective for me and was absolutely beautiful! 
     Afterward, we went in the Skytower and to Darling Harbour.  In Darling Harbour, we watched a dance street performance that was great (many people play instruments, do arts, dance, and draw on the Sydney walkways for people walking by!)
     It was a beautiful day and exploring Sydney was the perfect way to spend it!
