Sorry about the gap between posts, but my Hawai'i post has a video that is not uploading properly. I will try to fix it as soon as posible and post it.
Between the time of my last post and Hawai'i, we have been in Sydney. The first night was rough because of the confusing time change and the fact we had just gotten off of a 10 hour plane ride. Everyone was a little tired, especially me. Went we checked in to the hotel I changed as fast as I could and then collapsed on the bed.
The next morning everyone was rested, so we went to see some of the sights of Sydney. The first thing we saw was not planned at all. We saw an ENORMOUS Rubber Duck in a place called Darling harbor. We called him Ducky ( I know, creative right! [ said sarcastically]) and always found him Cutdorable ( Cute and Adorable)!!!!! Here is a picture of our favourite Rubber Duck:

We met up with some of my sister's friends that day and went to the Chinese Gardens. There where lots of nice flowers there, also there was the possibility that snake could jump out at me at any second. The cutest thing there was, another duck. This time it was a real duck, two of them actually! A mommy duck (maybe) and a duckling! The duckling was so cute and totally awesome!!!!! He jumped off a rock more than three times his size and climbed up a running mini waterfall! He was so awesome!!!!! The cutest thing was, he climbed the water fall to eat some algae! He was so cute!!!!
The next day we went to the zoo and saw a lot of Aussie animals. We saw a kangaroo, a wombat, a wallaby, a Tasmanian Devil and tried to see a platypus, but he was not there. We also saw three tiger cubs, some lions and some baby turtles!

My favourite thing about Sydney was the opera that we saw in the Sydney Opera House. We saw an opera called The Masked Ball. It was about the assassination of King Gustave III of Sweden. A lot of the time it was very confusing and I had to ask my dad what was going on. What I could understand was very interesting and strangely written. In the end, King Gustave III was stabbed and everyone but three evil dudes were gassed. Overall it was a pretty good opera. We also had a tour earlier that day and that was the reason we went.
We also saw the aquarium. Did you know that a Dugong looks a lot like a Manatee?

That is all for now!
QUACK!!!!


Hmmm. Can't see anything that is strikingly different but I do think that the manatee;s face looks a bit like a puppy dog's face. He's actually very cute in my opinion. Sounds like you had a good time in Sydney. Now, on to Melbourne.
