June 16- Top Ten

Top Ten-

1.) Great Barrier Reef- This is something I can and probably will never experience again. I loved it so much, its such a different experience being able to swim in the natural habitat of all those gorgeous fish and the coral. The fish were not even scared to be close to humans.

2.) Zorbing/Ogo - At first I thought I wasn't going to like this or want to try this but after I did it i fell in love, I absolutely loved it and I wish america had something like this because I had the time of my life. I dont think I have ever laughed so hard before doing this.

3.) Rangitoto College- This was awesome meeting new students, people my age. I liked learning about their culture and especially watching the kids perform the haka dance. The students were all so nice and were excited to learn things about America and they were thrilled to show us americans around their school. It was really nice of them to allow us to come to their school on a Friday night.
4.)Luge Track- Going down a mountain in a little go kart kind of thing did not seem to excite me at first, I was really timid about trying this for the first time especially by myself. But I do not regret trying it at all, it was definately something I would love to do again, I wish the states would get something like this.
5.) Bridge Climb- The bridge climb was by far one of the best things I have ever experienced. I keep thinking to myself I am a 17 year old teenager who climbed the bridge in sydney australia. I climbed one of the icons of Sydney. While on top of the bridge I took in everything, and I finally felt fufilled with my trip.
6.) The rocks- Not only did it have historical reference but it also was a shopping center. I liked seeing the different things that the rocks sold. some of the stuff was very entertaining to see. It was even a good place to people watch.
7.) The town of Whaka- I enjoyed seeing all the thermal vents, it was really cool to see how people still rely on them in order to cook food. I also liked trying the corn that they cooked in the thermal vents, it was delicous.
8.) Visiting the Sydney opera house- I liked this because its a monument and what sydney is known for. it was also cool to see the light show on the opera house.
9.) Walking around Cains- I liked being able to explore the area on my own time and experience the different things and get my own image of things rather then a tour guide telling me what to think of things.

10.) Kuranda Rainforest- I thought the gondala ride over the forest was amazing, I just would of liked to enjoy it more by exploring the rainforest and walking around it rather then taking a train and gondala ride.
