Sydney

Well Erica and I had a super long flight here. However we were super pumped that the backs of the seats in front of us contained a tv screen! We watched Yes Man, Twlight, Bride Wars and I watched part of Madagascar (cause I am cool like that). Erica was watching the Mighty Boosh. we stopped in Vancouver for 12 hours. As soon as we got there we decided it was a good idea to wander through the parking lot to find a bench. We found this random park at the side of the parking lot so we went and sat there for a while! We met Erica's sister for a couple of minutes (she was leaving Vancouver to go back to Winnipeg). We then took the bus to downtown Vancouver. While I was telling Erica a lame story about how going over speed bumps in a RV was the best time of my life, we met Jaeger. He tried to help us on our bussing extravaganza. He just got back from Surfing in the Phillipines and he pretty much knew as much about the bus system as we did. We got on this bus that took us on a complete tour of Richmond and we ended up back where we started and then the bus finally took us downtown. We wandered around downtown for a while and then proceeded to almost fall asleep in Starbucks.
Upon our arrival in Sydney Erica's bag was nowhere to be found. Some kind airport worker gentleman located her bag in Auckland (we stopped there.). It will hopefully be at the hostel when we return in a couple of minutes. Right now we are at a travel agent/Internet Cafe where another kind gentleman planned our entire Australia trip. He booked our tours and some other spectacular activities that I will not expose to the general public at this time. As you can probably tell we have kind of had no sleep. We did go to Manly beach though...it was pretty manly. We took a Ferry there and Erica wanted to go tubing behind the boat. We went past the Sydney opera house which is yellow. We are not going to party tonight because we are practically dead.
We are going to eat some tasty bites right now.
we are heading to the blue mountains tomorrow. Erica and I aren't sure if they are actually blue or not...we'll keep you updated on that one. Hope you guys are having as much fun as we are! Hopefully you didn't get anymore snow!
