Day 8- Sydney Opera House, the Wildlife Center, and Independence

I think that I am more confident when traveling now.  I feel like I can travel by myself new because I know how most of the stuff works.  I think that after this trip I will not be as reluctant to talk to strangers and to do other things on my own.  I usually rely on my parents a lot when I travel, but this trip has made me become more independent when traveling.  There are some things that I wouldn't be able to do when traveling by myself.  I think that I would get lost a  lot and I would lose my confidence if I got lost.  I can be a little frantic when I don't know what I am doing.  I think that I could go through the airport by myself though.  When I travel by myself thought I don't think that I would get much out of it.  I wouldn't get the full experience if I traveled by myself.  I would miss out on a lot of the cultural/historical things of the country.  I think that right now I am too shy to travel alone.  I need to become more outgoing before I can travel by myself, but I am working on it.  I also think that when I travel I like luxury too much.  I am used to skipping an activity because of the rain and things like that.  I would need to do things regardless of rain or shine.  I think I could travel on my own, but I think it would be better if I first improved my confidence, make sure to get the full experience, and be more outgoing. 

So today we did a lot of amazing things.  The first thing that we did was go to the Sydney Opera House!!!  It was so awesome to be at the Opera House.  Before we had just seen it at a distance, but now we have actually been up close to it.  The building is so cool.  I love the way the building looks it is so amazing!!  And we actually got to go inside too.  It was one of the most fantastic things I have ever done.  I was a little disappointed that we couldn't see more of the building though.  You had to go with a tour. 



KOALA!!



So then we did a little bit of shopping on our way to boat dock.  We took the boat around the harbor.  It went past the Sydney Opera House and then took us under the bridge to another dock where we got off.  There we went to the Wildlife center.  It was really cool.  I saw lots of bugs and animals.  I got to see Koalas and Kangaroos!!  It was so exciting because those are the animals people usually associate with Australia.  They had a lot of lego sculptures in the Wildlife Center.  It was cool.  Then after that we got to eat dinner there.  I had a burger and it was really good.  Another fantastic day in Australia.
