Sydney, Australia: Part 2, Fragments.

So, this is my second to last post for Australia (where I had a chance to visit over Christmas break). I know it's the 5th of January already, but there were so many things I wanted to share, making it extremely challenging to narrow it all down. So hopefully through a little documentation you can see how gorgeous Sydney is.

Sydney, Australia: Part 1 Christmas Day.

Clearly, Sydney was a lot warmer than Ballarat, it was very much t-shirt/shorts weather everyday we were there, which was a super welcomed contrast from Seattle. It was almost surreal spending Christmas day swimming at Bondi Beach in Sydney. The water was warm, there were a lot of people, most of them wearing santa caps, and it was a very hot day. We also spent time at Manly Beach, which is in Northern Sydney, more nudity, stronger surf, but equally beautiful. The Christmas tree photo above was taken in the Queen Victoria Building located downtown where they had lots of fancy shops. We walked around in there the day after Christmas, which was "Boxing Day," and people were lined up around the block waiting to get into places like Gucci, and Louie Vuitton, I've never seen anything like it. I guess it's one of the biggest shopping days of the year.

Ballarat, Australia: Part 3, Fragments.

Here are some places we found around town while hanging out with family and friends. Ballarat is a pretty place!

Ballarat, Australia: Part 2, a home.

We went to visit the house that Andrew's grandmother grew up in, and the kind people that lived there let us come inside. I couldn't help but fall in love with the high ceilings, the fireplaces, the tea cups, the overall detail and character of the house in the victorian decor, and most of all the flowers that were in every room. It was such a neat experience and the home was truly lovely.
