The first part of our honeymoon is coming to an end. It feels like it’s been a long week; our arrival to Australia seeming so long ago yet only less than a week ago. I like that, it tells me that a lot of memories happened in a short ammount of time. We first spent 3 days in Sydney, the cultural capital of Australia (because the actual political capital is Cranberra, just in case you didn’t know). Sydney is a beautiful metropolis, with countless things to see and do. Among the things we were able to do in our short time there, one of my favorites was going to the Zoo and seeing some of the autoctonous fauna. A Koala having “brekkie” (Aussie slang for breakfast) and a Joey, also known as a baby Kangaroo were the definte highlights. I also enjoyed checking out the world famous Opera house, being able to check it out both out and inside. Of course I took pictures, but it’s going to take me a while to go through the hundreds of shots I’ve taken so far. After Sydney, we traveled up north to Port Douglas, where I write from at the moment. It’s a little tourist-centered town, quaint and very friendly. The main reason why we came up here is because this is a launching area for tours to go check out the Great Barrier Reef… and that we did. I got to snorkel around with fishes and coral, enjoying every second of it. I even saw a few clown fish, what Nemo is! They are very tiny, a couple of inches at the most, but super cute. Tomorrow, we leave Port Douglas -and Australia- to head to our next destination, Fiji. Even though Australia has been wonderful, and it’s now marked in my mind as a must visit again, I’m ready to not have a schedule anymore and enjoy a week with my wife on a true tropical paradise. The forecast tells us that it’s going to be nice and warm, and that’s just wicked awesome, mate!
