Countdown to Sydney



4 days left...
Monday; the start of another school week. Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we stay with Naoka's mother who has now moved to Burleigh Heads (another suburb along the coast).

There are only 4 days left until our departure to Sydney (yay!). We are going to go to Sydney because Naoka's sister is turning 30 that weekend, and Saturday is her birthday party. The party is 'nautical' themed, so I am looking for costumes to wear (not going very well so far).

It is Tuesday, and today we have Cardio Tennis again! I just realized I haven't even told you about that before. Instead of the basketball try-outs a couple of weeks ago, Imogen and I decided that we wanted to do Cardio Tennis. It is every Tuesday afternoon from 4pm until 5pm. During Cardio Tennis we basically do a warming-up, cardio and tennis exercises, and a cool down. We do cardio exercises like jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, and more, while we do tennis. Also, they play music while we exercise and the people who do it are great! I really like it and I think it is a great way to stay fit (if anyone from my hockey team reads this: I won't be completely useless when I come back;)

Wednesday morning I went for a run along the beach. I love how it is light every morning, and at least 20 degrees! There is a headland where you can see the most amazing view.
Also, today is the last school day for our Canadian friends, Hannah and Megan, who were here on exchange for six weeks. We said our goodbyes, and hopefully we will meet again!

Beautiful view

Only 1 day left...
On Thursday we went back to Naoka's father's house. We packed our bags, because Friday morning we will go to the airport!
When we get there, we will go sight seeing, and we will have dinner with the Sydney exchanges! I am really excited to see them again. Unfortunately, Kona and Imogen won't be able to come.
Saturday is Naoka's sister (Nimm) her thirtieth birthday party. This will probably take up the whole day.
For Sunday we have planned to go see the harbour and the fish markets, where we will have something to eat. Afterwards we will go to Sydney airport, and fly back to the Gold Coast.
I cannot wait :).
