Our Australian Vacation of a Lifetime

This is Trevor in his hotel room at the Pensione Hotel in Sydney. It's a "boutique" hotel, which means incredibly small. This is taken from the doorway and that is the space in the entire room.
We climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Tuesday morning, but weren't allowed to take cameras. A little later I'll post photos from the climb that we purchased. It was spectacular. Afterwards we went to a couple of pubs recommended by our tour guide, Vic. This one had a rooftop garden from which you could see the Sydney Opera House across the harbour. That's Cody, Trevor and Damon.
This is another view of the Sydney Opera House from the rooftop garden of the pub. Pretty good view while drinking some awesome beer called "Beez Neez".
The boys humored us while Damon and I did the beer tour.
This is Damon and I on Venice Beach in Los Angeles. We rented a car for our eight hour layover in LA, before the flight to Sydney. We saw crazy expensive cars, drove through Beverly Hills and down Santa Monica Blvd, but though we looked, we never did see the Hollywood sign.
This is the Santa Monica Pier in the background.
This is Trevor, me and Cody in Sydney. We left LAat 10:30pm on Saturday and arrived in Sydney Monday morning at 6:30am. We couldn't even check into our hotel, so this is us wondering around Sydney with some SERIOUS jetlag.
This is Darling Harbour in Sydney, and we went to the Sydney Acquarium here.
We were at the acquarium at feeding time and they have cool underwater glass tunnels, so you can see stuff like this: ICK!!
