Walkabout

Today, I spend 3 hours just walking around Sydney. Luke and his family did the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb. I did not want to do this! So, instead, I walked around Sydney, doing some last minute gift shopping.

It was a miserable day for walking around Sydney. Anne-Marie said that she had never seen Sydney so cold; very abnormal. It also misted/rained for most of the day, but it was light enough where I couldn't justify purchasing an overpriced umbrella in that touristy-section of the city.

Looking at Google maps, I walked somewhere between 4 and 5 miles. It felt really good since I have been too sore and tired from constant traveling to do my routine exercising. I'm anxious to get home and jump back into a regular routine.

Snorkeling

Today, we went snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. We went on a day-long tour with three 1-hour snorkeling stops. I just did two of the hours because I was physically exhausted and really cold by the third stop.

But we saw some beautiful coral and giant clams that close when they see shadows. I held a "sea cucumber" and a piece of hard coral that oozes its own fishy smelling SPF 50.
