Goodbye Australia - we will miss you

Today is a sad day, we are leaving Australia after 4 months of adventure, fun and sun! After touring in Cairns, the Sunshine and the Gold coast, our final stop is in Sydney. Contrary to what we heard, Sydney is not an American type city or overwhelming for any reasons. For us it is just a bigger Melbourne. Old Victorian buildings are also mixed up with new modern buildings. The city is very cosmopolitan with lots of influence from the UK, Asia but also California. Shops are trendy and amazing. People are nice, even though they do not seem to be as relaxed as in Melbourne (which is a bit of a village compared to here). Anyway, all of this to say, we LOVE Sydney as much as we love Melbourne. And we will definitely move here if an opportunity comes-up.

This last post from Australia is dedicated to all great people we met while here, the International students crew (what a bunch of incredible easy-going dudes !) , the MBS students who were great fun to hang around with, our hosts in Sydney, our buddy at the Torquay surf rental shop, any cool Australian we met (basically all of them) and most importantly our roommate who took us around the city in her little Subaru. Thanks Mavis and everyone who made this trip a once-in-a lifetime experience.
