We woke up in the morning after sleeping in and we went on a walk a saw the Museum of Brisbane and I suggested that we should go to that later. We went back to the RV and got out cameras and charged or phones. We looked up the times for the museum to see when we could go. We saw it would open at 10 so we cooked up some ramen noodles and then left for the museum.
The museum had an ancient Greek mixed with British style feel. We went on the Brisbane City Hall Tour at 10:30am which was such an amazing experience and to Mason's Delight, it was free. We also got a book that I have no idea what we did with. Sadly, a few of the rooms were not open to us because they were being used by the government because city hall was still in use.

After that amazing adventure, we went to a cool café that Mason had found earlier. It was called the "Ad Infinitum Café". We all got "Buttery French Croissant" for $6.50. We had a bunch of fun because we all showed how we eat our Croissants. Everyone got coffee except for Mason because he doesn't like Coffee.

We finally went to the Festival where we went to our first show called "CHARLIE LIM AND THE MOTHERSHIP". It was a great start to our festival day because none of us had to herd his electric pop music which everyone in the group liked. Dylan tried telling Mason that they were really good during the concert, but Mason could not hear him and we all laughed about that after the concert. Mason said that his other favorite part of the concert was him amazing post-rock music that he really loved. Mason had to explain it to us as using guitars in a certain way that normal rock doesn't use them.

We went to go see Fun House after the show which was a circus performance. The performances were amazing and the people there were great. Except for one person two rows behind us that would not stop yelling at the person to "Fly higher," this made Mason and Dylan so angry that they yelled at him. After yelling the two would turn around really quick and it turned into a sort of game between the two. The man never saw who was doing it but the row behind us was laughing hysterically.

We went to "LIMBO UNHINGED" which was an amazing part of the trip. Our favorite part was Heather Holliday who is a sword swallower that is from America. We also got to see talents like Marco Motta who was from Brazil and was an Aerial wiz who did amazing tricks in the air that blew our minds. The music there took a while to get used to but was overall great. At one point Zach just looked at me all confused and I just shrugged my shoulders.

We left the festival after this and none of us were hungry so we went to bad except Dylan, Mason, and Diego stayed up and played cards.

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
