Hello all! I am back from my travels one again!

Seeing my mom and aunt was amazing! We had such a great time and even though we did some things that I’ve already done, it felt really good to show them around and actually know what I was talking about. I was really proud of myself.

Listed are some more activities to do while traveling:

Sydney –

1. The Blue Mountains - The Blue Mountains are roughly two hours away from Sydney so you will need to go on a tour for this; however, it is well worth the trip. Not only is it beautiful, included in the travels is a wonderful lunch at a botanical garden, learning how to throw a boomerang, and learning how to play a digery doo. I was very impressed with myself because I was quite good at throwing the digery doo! It came over half way back to me!
2. Sydney Aquarium – If it’s a rainy day outside, a great thing to do is to head down to the Sydney Aquarium located at Darling Harbor. This is a much better aquarium then Underwater World in Mooloolaba. They have a lot of underwater tunnels which I thought were very impressive.
3. Sydney Ferry Ride – My family and I took a dinner boat ride from the Sydney Harbor to Darling and then all around. At night it is absolutely beautiful to see the bridges and Sydney Opera House lit up. Also the price was not bad and you get a three course meal.
4. Craft Show – Behind the food buildings by the Sydney Bridge is a local craft market area. It is a large impressive show by local artists and not only is it fun, but the prices for fun gifts for yourself or others are not bad at all. The craft market included everything from skin lotions, to food, to glass collectables, and clothing.

Cairns –

1. Saturday Craft Shows – as you can tell I like attending local art and craft shows. I think it’s a great way to spend a few hours in the sun with friends or family. Also its cool to bring home original art pieces or collectables so I highly recommend doing this while traveling. The Cairns Craft Show takes place by the ocean behind the Night Markets during the day from 9 am to 5 pm. Times do change though so talk to any locals or hostel/hotel workers.
2. Night Markets – I just wanted to give a little update about the Night Markets. On my second trip to these market areas I did notice that a lot of the booths are closing down. This is a shame and I really do encourage people to go here. Hopefully they will still be able to operate and more booths will open up.

Brisbane -

1. Craft Show – This show is a bit different for the fact that its by the man made beach located in the heart of the city. Not only is it a great show its also by a lot of restaurants and bars.

Hope all this information helps people or makes them more excited for their upcoming travels.
