The day before we had flown back from Cairns to Sydney. I had to spend the day chilling in Cairns before I flew in at night so I can't say for sure what my family did in Sydney without me. Anyway, with the jet lag having finally worn off we had time to enjoy one final outing in Sydney. We started the day off taking a lovely stroll from our hostel to the Botannical Gardens in Sydney. Basically, the day was spent as a photoshoot of Sydney and enjoying being together as family.
This was actually taken from land but on the other side of the Gardens.
The skyline once again, never gets old.
Of course...there is only so much family you can take...too bad Dad and Mom said they loved her otherwise Nick and I would have done our own version of the Mafia cement shoes, hahaha
We decided to take a ferry ride out to Manly just to check out the rest of the city area. I gotta thank my parents for making this whole experience possible. I really owe these two a great deal.
We had traveled by plane and ferry. We had walked and driven in Australia. There was only one option left, to take the train!
Well, the Australian paparazzi got the Howell women strolling throughout the city.
We went to Paddy's Market to do some final souvenir shopping. After that we returned to Darling Harbor for a final dinner together. What was awesome was that unbeknownst to us there were fireworks that night over the Harbor. We got dinner and a show. My little brother also had the opportunity courtesy of Kate, Nat, and I to enjoy a Long Island Iced Tea. We got a few laughs outta that.
This picture was actually taken in the morning of their departure as I would leave after them. We stayed just outside of King's Cross. The funny part is that after dinner when we were walking back to the hostel, we happened to pass some cops and there was a puddle of blood on the street. An interesting end to a great trip! I got to watch the planes fly over Sydney and I believe I watched my family's plane fly right over the Opera House as they departed for home.
