The Australia portion of my round-the-world trip went by far too quickly. The overcast skies in the land down under cleared up after Christmas day and the weather was beautiful for the rest of our time in Sydney.

We spent time at Bondi Beach and Freshwater Beach; strolled through the botanical gardens, carefully avoiding the thousands of creepy bats in the trees; sipped cocktails by the Opera House, Darling Harbor, and chic downtown bars; ate yummy brunches in Surrey Hills, Darlinghurst, and The Rocks; visited the Art Gallery of NSW; walked around Wooloomooloo; went wine tasting for a day in the Hunter Valley and saw some kangaroos and a turtle in the wild; hiked around Watsons Bay and the eastern beaches; surveyed sketchy King’s Cross; and soaked up the sun in Hyde Park.
