In late October we hopped on a plane and flew to Sydney, Australia for one of the most spontaneous trips we've ever had!
After our fantasy-filled adventure three years ago to Middle Earth, you could say that we had our doubts about New Zealand's neighbor down under. I mean, if you're going to be in that part of the world, why even bother going anywhere else...right? Not quite, as we fortunately learned!
Australia turned out to be a surprisingly amazing discovery! From the architecturally mesmerizing Sydney to the rugged waterfalls of the Blue Mountains and the sculpture-lined bluffs of Bondi Beach- we never lacked places of wonder to explore!
But if the sights captured our imagination, the wildlife captured our heart. Koalas, kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, kookaburras, little penguins, cockatoos, echidnas, dugongs, quokka....all adorably strange and incredible to see up close! So incredible, in fact, that we couldn't keep away and kept going back to spend more time hanging with the koalas :)
The week turned out to be a surprisingly fun way to be refreshed and to appreciate God's creation and sense of humor!
