Palm Beach:
- This is a northern beachside suburb of Sydney, about two hours away from me by bus. It took several windy, cliff-side roads to reach the beach peninsula, but it was worth it for the gorgeous views.

Blue Mountains
- This is a gorgeous mountainous region outside of Sydney consisting of several hilly trails and breathtaking scenery.
- The most famous attraction of the Blue Mountains is (for some reason) the Three Sisters, which is essentially three big rock formations lined up next to each other. I didn't really get what was so exciting about it, but the view of the mountains was pretty spectacular.
- We had perfect weather all day and hiked around a bit, then headed home.
Kings Cross
- That night, we ventured into Sydney's red-light district known for its bars, nightclubs, and...strip clubs. Everyone i've spoken to says to go to Kings Cross if I "feel like having a ridiculous night." I'd say that was pretty accurate.
- We went to a club called No Vacancy and had a fantastic time dancing.
- After a guy tried to pick a fight with one of my friends, we left and walked home through a sea of mini-skirt-clad trannies and inebriated high schoolers and made it back to civilization.

Darling Harbour Hoopla Festival
- This was a weekend-long event on the Harbour featuring acrobats performing in circus acts. We check out a few that were pretty impressive!
- We grabbed dinner on the water and caught the sunset.
Monday, April 1st
- We unfortunately all had essays to write which kept us tied up for most of the day, but I did squeeze in a nice long run through Alexandria, a pretty neighborhood past Chippendale.
- We rounded out Easter Weekend with a nice big family dinner. Here's an overview of the menu:
Bruschetta, Apple Bacon and Cashew Salad, Homemade meatballs with rigatoni, and Tim Tams Brownies.
- A great ending to a fabulous weekend!
