First day in Australia! The flights were uneventful but looong. I left home at 2:20 in the afternoon on Sunday (CA time) and arrived Sydney 7:30am on Tuesday (Aus time). I met up with Hannah at the hostel she had been staying in and we made our way to Coogee (rhymes with oogey, and funnily enough is the Aboriginal word for rotting seaweed) where we are staying in a hotel for our first 3 nights. The area is on a gorgeous beach and we had a relaxing day and walked along the ocean side cliffs past Bronte, Tamarama, and Bondi Beaches. They have these great pools built into the sides of the rocks in the ocean, so you can swim your laps in the sea without getting knocked around by the waves. If the sun is out tomorrow I plan on jumping in one! We saw some wild parrots, but other than that no exciting wildlife (though plenty of pigeons and sea gulls, which seem to like dive-bombing Hannah's head). There are tons of joggers everywhere, which isn't a craze either of us will be joining any time soon. Tomorrow we are going into Sydney proper to see all the major sites and be super touristy!
