Sydney

For those of you out of the loop, Matt and Jordan are half way around the world! Australia to be exact. We left "sunny" Canada on February 28th and arrived in Sydney on March 2nd. What exactly happened to the 1st we're still not sure, but we blame the Russians. We spent the first few days of our journey doing the tourist thing, checking out the sights(Opera House from the Bridge, above), the city and enjoying the beautiful weather.
Going from -15 to +30 is such a shocking experience. It took us all of 3 1/2 minutes to get used to. Mwahaha! We hopped from hostel to hostel, meeting great people along the way, sitting on various beaches such as Bondi(above) and basking in our newfound paradise. The unfortunate thing about being in the city is that we didn't get to see any authentic Australian animals, 2 weeks in Oz and not one kangaroo sighting! Apparently there are over 60 million of them, so we were bound to see some eventually. But we did get the pleasure of gazing at downtown Sydney at night(left). After 2 weeks of sunshine and sunburns we decided that it was time to move on...

These are some of the awesome people we met at the Funk House hostel in Sydney(and Ben, who is obviously not awesome).
