Today, we took the ferry out to Manly Beach. Many of the girls paid for surf boards and attempted to surf the waves. A few were able to stand up, but most of us ended up wiping out and looking ridiculous because the current and waves were so rough. We also shopped, laid out, swam, and walked along the board walk the entire day. Then, a group of girls went out to a nice dinner of pasta and pizza before heading out for the night. We spent the entire night at a pub called the Three Wise Monkeys, where they played a combination of live music and recorded music. Needless to say, it was a great day!

On this leisure day, the team split up into several groups so that everyone was able to do what they wanted. A few people went to St. Mary’s Cathedral of Sydney for church in the early morning before heading to Paddy’s Market in Chinatown for great bargains and shopping. We then headed through Darling Harbour to visit the Sydney Wildlife World, where we were able to take photos with and pet the koalas! It was awesome!!!! Others on the team headed out to explore the Olympic complex and stadiums. As for the rest of the evening, some girls will be attending the evening Broadway showing of Wicked while a separate group will be heading down to the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge to see each of these attractions lit up. We all accomplished a lot today and we are all feeling it in our feet (since we all generally walk everywhere in Sydney). I know that everyone on the team has LOVED our stay in Sydney and we cannot believe how quickly our time here has flown by!
