    Hi Sydney, nice to see you again

    June 9, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Luckily Queens birthday in Australia means no school and since it was a Monday we got Friday to Monday off as a long weekend.
    We (Sophie, Bente and I #squadgoals 💕) decided to spend our last trip together in Sydney. Sydney itself is incredible but as an added bonus we had the Vivid Sydney Festival that was on every night after 6pm.
    We flew from Armidale to Sydney which is only an hour and arrived in SydneY at around 12 noon. We seriously had the best accomodation. Our room in the Sydney Harbour YHA in the Rocks was a room for three with a bathroom and we had the perfect view onto the Opera House. 💕
    It also only took us about 5min to walk down to the Circular Quay which was perfect.
    We spent the first day taking in all of Sydneys iconic sights (no matter how often you visit Sydney it is always a great pleasure) and then Bente and I walked Sophie over to the Harbour Bridge climb and then waited for the lights to turn on.
    We had the best view of the Opera house when the light projections began and we stayed there just looking at the Opera House for a long time. 💕
    We finally decided to walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens to look at more of Vivid Sydney. Unfortunately it started to rain and not a little but heaps. Everything turned into giant puddles and we soon had drenched shoes an feet.
    Nevertheless we continued walking and enjoyed the positive side o the rain which was no crowds. It was definitely worth it and I must say it was incredible how many light installations Sydney had on show this year. 💕
    Everything from giant glowing sunflowers, over sparkling Kiwi birds, blinking Dandelions that where activated through blowing to Umbrellas over the street that lighted up when you danced beneath them. 💕That is only a small part of Vivid and it took us all the days we had to see everything but we sure where excited for more when we went to bed that night.💕
