We awoke bright and early on this last day in Australia. Although we had an amazing time there, we were happy to head back home. We spent our last few hours with Trez eating left overs and the infamous Oporto chicken. I snuck in a slice of Sweet Potato Pie and by the way it turned out to be delicious. Our trip in Australia ended with one final 2-hour train ride back to Sydney. We admired the view out of the window one last time and spoke of the many adventures we’d had on the trip.
We had a wonderful experience in Australia and we leave you with this top-10 list. For those of you who haven’t and have never considered going I would advocate for it. Ditto!
You know you are in Australia when... (in no rank order and it’s meant to be funny)
- The flies prefer landing on humans to food.
- Going to the pub means ordering and retrieving your food at the counter yourself. Only you have the power to provide yourself with great service.
- The price of a 6-pack of beer (equivalent to the cost of a 12-pack in the states) drives you to carry a flask everywhere you go.
- You make sure to come with your finest curse words because Aussies are bred to unload.
- Sightseeing tours begin around 7 a.m. and don’t end until a super late 9 p.m.
- A chicken sandwich is not a chicken sandwich but a chicken schnitzel.
- Turning on your iPod in a plane while sitting on the tarmac makes flight attendants unnecessarily unhappy - the plane may just blow.
- The transit system is funded solely by tourists because it doesn’t seem like the locals pay for their train and tram rides.
- The animals mentioned along the tour seem to never make an appearance (case in point - crocodiles, cassowaries and Nemo).
- It’s parrots and lorrakeets instead of pigeons that greet you at every turn.
