The adventures of Danielle and my sydney trip

I have had quiet and exciting holiday. This time while travelling to Sydney I was able to bring a friend. I was extremely excited.
I am quiet used to flying to Sydney it is practically my second home but this plane flight was dreadful. It was one of those really small planes three seats on each side, you felt every little air pocket and there was no room for your legs that I got a cramp.

As we arrived in Sydney we greeted my family. Danielle even got to meet my older sister and nephew who were flying that day back to Duebi.

On Tuesday we went into the centre of the city to the best place to go which Pitt Street mall. It has a four story supre. The shops seem to go on forever and ever making it easy to get lost. But after about an hour we only made it to two shops. Later on that day Dad took us all rock climbing. Danielle and I had to hold each other using the ropes so pretty much our whole lives depended on one another. I made it to the top on a few climbs but only on the small ones. Its not that I am afraid of heights its just the what if. What if my harness breaks or the rope snaps.

On Thursday we went to the one and only Bondi junction. A five floor mall, now that’s what I am talking about. We spent about 3 hours shopping there and made it into three shops. After that we went to my all time fav cafĂ© Onex. We managed to eat a whole wrap in about 5mins making us feel sick just before we had to leave. Later on that day we went to the bowling alley. The first game dad won but I won the next. We are just a tad bit competitive. So Danielle ended up having a competition with Genevieve my little sister. Gen even managed to bowl the ball let is bounce and get stuck in the gutter between the bumpers. We ended up playing on the arcade games there and I introduced Danielle to my child hood favorite game. When the crocs come out you whack them with a batten. I played the basketball shot game. So did Gen who couldn’t even get the ball into the cage.
Later on that night we all went to see the opening at the local cinema for the movie Mamma Mia which I must say if an awesome movie apart from the fact that pierce Brosmen sings, ew it was just too weird.

Friday was one of the best days. More shopping. And then lunch in Darling Harbour. I choose the restaurant and I was applauded for my good pick of a Thai restaurant. We took a few photos there and then went home to get ready for the NRL.
It was so cold that night I had 5 layers on, a scarf and a beanie and it was still kind of chill.
The NRL was really exciting it was the roosters playing the titans. We were in the roosters stand with everyone wearing the roosters scarf’s and jackets. During the game the titans started to lead the game. Within the stand there was always a random titans support. One man tried to throw beer at a supporter missing and hitting everyone around him. Behind me and Danielle there were a bunch of twenty something guys getting drunk and yelling the most pathetic and lame as insults towards the titans. “good on ya jetstar” or “go fly on jetstar” errr they were lame they were even saying things like that wouldn’t happen if it was union, well can I tell you something mate it isn’t union. I don’t think I would have liked to be the referee he was swore at, booed at and had to be helped out of the stadium by the police as the roosters supporters were blaming him for there loss. But Danielle and I were secretly cheering for the titans. But the whole night was a fun experience.

On Sunday dad took me and Danielle to the IMAX theater. It was unbelievable. We saw dolphins and whales in 3D. they were literally swimming towards your face. When the movie was over we went over to china town where we took photos in the Asian photo booths before we then went into the markets and bought a few shirts.
Earlier that day we went out for breakfast at Bondi beach and then to the markets where we bought some cool as necklaces.

The following day we went and stayed at my Granddads where I bought myself a few DVD movies. And my family came over for dinner. Then we went over the my uncles and played a few games and played with the dog before we went back to my dads. There was abit of a mix up for where we were meant to meet but luckily I got my ball shoes.

When it was time to leave I needed another bag as I had just a few more things then what I came with. But dad was very kind and gave me a phone. It is so incredibly cool and is the best phone I have ever laid my eyes on.

The plane ride back was almost empty but the guy sitting two rows behind us had an allergic reaction to some of the food which we both didn’t eat as it looked gross. But when the flight landed the paramedics had to come on before we were aloud to leave.
The holiday all and all was really fun but it was nice to be home to see my mum and sleep in my own bed.
