Trip to Australia

My trip to Sydney, Australia was awesome I went to the opera house, the aquarium and many more places in just 3 days.

5:45 am Friday 22 march 2013 my trip to Sydney began. At 6:00 am we jumped in the car drove to Auckland. After two and a half hours we reached the airport and boarded the plane. The plane's door closed and the plane was pushed back and turned to the run way. Now that the plane was ready to takeoff the engines powered up and the plane speeded up and then took to the air. After three hours we landed in Sydney.

The next day we went out to the city. I saw center tower and went to the aquarium, so many fish in one room. After that we went for lunch I had fish and chips. That night we had my ante's 25th anniversary party.

My three short day in Australia was great.
