We had a long night at the Sydney opera house so we sleep in until eight. we got up in search for a couple parks that are very historic to Australia but first we needed some breakfast. Mason found us a great place walking distance away from our next destination. The Canopy is a very modern and the coffee was extraordinary. Zach ordered the benedict beagle which was suggested by the waitress and it was out of this world.  We found one called Hyde Park, this was the oldest park in Australia. This park is in the heart of Australia and has sixteen hectares of open land. Several monuments stand We had a long night at the Sydney opera house so we sleep in until eight and get up guard in Hyde Park and one is Archibald Fountain which was a gift from JF Archibald. It is a water feature dripping in ancient mythology and people said it was magnificent so that was our first destination at the park. As Image result for the canopy restaurant in australiawe walked up Dylan pushed Avery into the fountain and he was asked by the police to leave but Avery later told them that it was fine. They soon started following us and monitoring us. We then went to the Anzac Memorial and the Pool of Reflection where families pay respect to the ones they lost. This time everyone had the respect not to push anyone in. Many time food events and other social gathering are held in the park but today there was nothing special was Image result for Hyde park in australiagoing on. We played soccer and Frisbee in an open field and that was when Diego came out and skied Dylan. Everyone started going crazy while Dylan was still on the ground. It came to the time walk on some trails that are set up around the fields. We finished that at about 1:00 and we realize it was past lunch but good thing we had a late breakfast. We all agreed on going to get some food and bring it back to eat at a picnic table. We go to a fast Image result for sydney olympic parkfood restaurant which was Australian fish and chips shop. We take it back and eat a really greasy lunch in the park. It is soon time to go to the Sydney Olympic Park where the Summer Olympics were held in 2000 and the park was finished being established in 2009. We decided to go on a biking tour within the park. It was called escape from the office the office bike ride so mason lied to the escort and said that we are all co-workers at a bike sales company.Image result for rv that sleeps 5 He believed us and we went on the ride and it was so amazing. We stopped multiple times to check out what each stop had to offer. By the time it was dinner we were done with the bike ride. We than go back to the RV and have a snack we bought before we go to bed after a long day of work.

September 14th Travel Day/Sydney Opera House

Open Market/Sydney Opera House (Cultural/History)      The penguin parade had us all tired from driving back so we woke up around 8:00. Diego decided to show us his cooking skills and made french toast and bacon on the camper stove. The drive to Sydney was 8 hours, so we had to move quickly to make sure we arrived in the city in time for our musical that night. Mason wanted to drive, so he did and almost wrecked the van 15 minutes in, prompting Avery to take over for the rest of the way. The drive took us along the coast, which was great scenic route that everyone was able to enjoy.     After driving about halfway to Sydney (just over 4 hours) Mason suggested we should stop at one of the open air markets on the outskirts of a town.  We all readily agreed as we were hungry as breakfast felt like forever ago, and we wanted to immerse ourselves deeper into the Australian culture.  We had to park far away as the market was crowed with both locals and tourist alike added to the fac

As we woke up at about 9:00 tired from the last night at the Brisbane Festival. Mason decided to yelp a good place to eat before our Ferrari Driving and IT Tour later in the Day. We took an Uber to the car dealership where we were renting for an hour. After the instructor taught us the rules, we each got into a different color car and pulled out onto the highway. Avery took the lead in the metallic blue car, with the others following right behind him. While Dylan was driving, he ran over a nail and his back left tire popped. It only took Dylan and the tour guide about 10 minutes to change the tire, and he said he would not charge us extra for it. The tour guides in the car showed us around certain areas, and we finished up by stopping at Brisbane IT. Brisbane IT is the leading Information Technology company in the Brisbane Area. The tour guides took the cars back to the dealership as we toured the company. The lady who showed us around the server rooms, the main floor where the prog

September 12th Cricket Game  It is a beautiful morning in Australia as we are waking up at 8 and will be seeing a cricket game. The game starts at 2:45 so there is a little bit of time before. We went to breakfast at 7 which Dylan got the best dish, which was the  "Holly Eggs". That is eggs over sourdough bread with some ham sprinklings. It was really good and the coffee was outstanding. They put a foam heart in all of our coffees so we all felt the need to take out our phone and put it on our Snapchat story. We left the restaurant at about 9:45am and took our RV to the Coles supermarket about two blocks away and bought some groceries for the week. When we were in the store Mason tried all the samples and by the time we checked out it was eleven. We then went back to the RV parking and organized our leftovers and things each of us bought at the store. From there we needed more of an elegant lunch so went to Vue de Monde. the best dish there was by far Diego's kangaroo
