First Day in Sydney

Day 15 July 6th

We landed in Australia at 10:30 am Tuesday. We were greeted by our delegation manager Zach and bus driver Ray. We then drove around the beautiful city of Sydney. We stopped for lunch at the Olympic Stadium and ate in the beautiful park. We then learned the game of cricket where the students had the opportunity learn skills and play a game of cricket. We then toured Anz stadium which is the Olympic Stadium. We got to go onto the field as well as stand on the medal stand which were from the 2000 Olympics games. We toured the locker rooms and warm up rooms. From there we went to our hotel in Sydney which is incredible. It is very posh. At 6:00pm we meet Zach and walked to dinner on the circle quay which is on the harbor and allowed us to see the Sydney Opera house and the Harbour Bridge. After dinner we took a beautiful night walk and saw the city lights and learned more about the city.
We are back at the hotel and the kids are swimming and having a great time. Just a side not: as we excited the plane the crew said to the leaders that these kids were the best group they have ever had on their plane. They were polite’ quite and very well behaved. Yeah!!!!

Tune in tomorrow of our trip to the Blue Mountains and much more!!
