cruising through Sydney

Mmk, so even though uni work has been feeling quite a bit heavier recently, there's always still time for fun. I am on vacation after all ;)

This past weekend I was invited to go on a night cruise around Sydney Harbour, and it was absolutely superb! We got all fancied up in our black dresses and heels; the cruise had a live band on it called Kinetic Method, and they rocked! One of the guys in the band had a shirt that would light up in response to sound... the girls found that quite amusing ;) At one point, there was even an electric didgeridoo was being played to a dance beat. Wicked. Goodness, we danced soooo much. And although it's been getting much chillier here, it was actually a very decent night, so we went up to the top deck as we passed by the Sydney Opera House and ducked under Harbour Bridge. Sometimes I'm still really surprised that I'm actually in Australia when I see things like that. We "stole" the captain's hat for a good hour and had way too much fun pretending to be in charge of the boat. I felt a bit queasy after we got off of the boat, but the night was lovely still.

The next day, I trained it up to essentially this same exact spot in Sydney, but this time I went to the Capital Theater to see Mary Poppins, the Musical! Aw it was sooo cute. We began our night at Max Brenner's Chocolate Shop (mandatory) and then went off to the show. We got cheap tickets in the second-to-last row but it was still plenty good enough to see the magical duffel, flying kites, rooftop sweep dancing, and much much more fantastical things. Overall, I would say the show was quite supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. We left the theater dancing and singing. I'm pretty sure I did more than a few balletic leaps across pedestrian walkways, and maybe even jumped off of a bench or two in the park, whilst spinning and heal-clicking in front of a "Jesus Saves" homeless aid van. It was a very good night.
