Day 1

I took an airplane from SFO to Sydney. The flight was 15 hours but I really enjoyed it.

I went to the Queen Victoria Building first. The Christmas tree was as tall as the building. It had beautiful decorations for the holidays. We bought UGG scarves because the weather was so cold on that day.

Afterwards I went to Hyde Park. I saw the fountain and it reminded me of the fountain in New York Central Park. I saw St Mary’s Cathedral. We went inside to pray.

I went to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. I saw a painting with pink flowers and tigers on the tree.

I went to the Sydney fish market and I ate salmon sashimi, my favorite fish. We also ate fresh lobster, green beans, and scallops.

Day 2

I went to the opera house. First we joined the tour group. I learned lots of knowledge. The roof shells resemble sails, seashells, and waves.

I also saw the Sydney harbour bridge.

Next I went to Taronga Zoo Sydney. I saw kangaroos, koalas, emu, giraffes, rhinos, and lions. My favorite was kangaroos.

Finally we took the ferry back to the opera house. I saw the sunset at the opera house. The opera house was shining and beautiful. The opera house is a great sculpture!

Day 3

I ate an egg omelet with white rice for my breakfast.

I went to Watsons Bay and Bondi Beach. The swimming pool was connected to the ocean. I walked around the beach and swam with my sister in a special pool.
