MadisonK Australia2011: Day Six 6/13/11

Today was our free day in Sydney. We were planning to go whale watching, but that canceled at the last second (they probably should have told us before we too Dramamine...talk about sleepy all day!). We went into town for lunch, where there was a small market going on. Then we went to take the Bridge Walk tour. This tour was absolutely amazing! It was so much fun, and you learn a lot from your guide while standing hundreds of feet from the highway below! The distance is only about a 30 minute walk, but with the stopping for picture taking and the dragging of our safety equipment, it took nearly three hours! It was also cold and windy. it was still enjoyable though! Then, during the dark evening we went to the Sydney light show, where they displayed moving lights across the buildings of the city. It was so beautiful. Then...we walked through the city...where there are a LOT of strip clubs..

Traveling independently, I think I'd do alright. I would have a lot more money, since I always let people borrow some, or I pay for my friends when they can't. I am also very good with directions and finding my way around. I have a good memory and don't usually get lost. So, I'd be okay at finding my way around. I'm also very organized, and it's super easy for me to keep track of my things. I'm the typer of person who likes to take things easy and chill, which would kill me on this trip, but then again, I would book so many things into one day anyways. I'd spread things out for a longer stay. I also think it'd be easier to travel alone rather than a big group of people. People are either slowing me down or rushing me through things. It would however be a struggle if I was alone. I like people too much. I would have to take care of myself and make sure I'm safe. I may also be unfamiliar with the area (which is not a problem since we have Alec). I probably wouldn't be able to plan as many things out, like the bridge walk. Oh, and my biggest fears would most likely get the best of me. First, the dark. To me, compete darkness is the scariest thing in the world. And who knows when I'll have to encounter the dark (alone, no less!). And secondly, talking to people on the phone. I don't know why, but I hate it. That's where the real trouble would come in. But chances are, I'd probably just suck it up, face my fears for a while, and travel anyways.
