Day 6

























Woke up early again 6am.. had some breakfast and headed out for a walk along Coogee Beach (my running route from Friday).. snapped a few pictures. Saw Julia's car.. what a tease..it wasn't her:(

Just made a banana and strawberry smoothie for a snack.
Now off to the beach for a bit.

Wow.. I couldn't resist.. back to Moo Gourmet Burgers for some take out. This time I even got fries (or as Australian's call them "chips")..once again----incredible. Chips were not a disappointment. I may have to eat Moo Burgers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

At night we took a bus into Darling Harbour in downtown Sydney for the Chinese New Year Fireworks. Got back around 11pm and went to snag myself some watermelon, grapes, and french fries from the fridge (what a combo) --dont go to bed on an empty stomach (right mom)..haha

However, I locked myself out of my room (auto room locks).. so I snoozed in the common room.

Day 5







After passing out at 7pm last night from that burger... I kicked off the day with some 630 am breakfast..Once again..only one up.

Next I headed to the university's gym and became a member. I took my first bodypump class there. Walked around the campus for a bit... everything is closed on the weekends (weird). Headed back to Coogee and hit the beach for some book reading
(79 degrees).

Day 4













I woke up at 630am and kicked off the day with my first run in Australia along the coast of Coogee Beach and Bondi Beach: lots of stairs and lots of up hill battles.

Next, we walked to the Westfield Mall (Bondi Junction) which was a few miles away and snapped a few pictures along the way. The mall is a biggy. 6 floors and 3 buildings. I'm fascinated by all the different branding they use (M&Ms) and the different products they have here (Mac&Cheese--Chicken).

I walked up the street to Moo Gourmet Burgers for dinner and got a burger to go. After contemplating what to get I went with the Red Kidney Bean Burger. These pictures do not do it justice... it was the biggest burger I have ever seen. The size of my entire hand-fingers spread and alll. I cut it in half with the intentions of eating half now and half for lunch tomorrow. I ate the entire thing within 10 minutes. Incredible...possibly the best thing I have ever tasted. Amazing. In a food coma.

Day 3











Today I woke up had a 3am snack and had breakfast at 5am... I am not use to the time change yet... so I showered after and took a snooze. Then went down to the beach for a 9am swim.. The waves were soo big I could barely stand up.

Had several skype sessions and gave several tours via skype..napped for most of the day..and then to the market...
