Australia, Day 21

Day 21, Wednesday, February 24 2010
————————————

We got up at around quarter to 5 and left for our 14 day trip to Sydney with ATA (Adventure Travel Australia) which started around 6:30 in the morning where we got picked up by our tour guide called Sam, or Beaver which is his nickname.

The group consisted of 10 people. We had 3 dutch people. Ilona and Merel were travelling together and Jolanda was travelling alone. Then we had Leslie from the UK and she was the oldest from the group. Next up were two sisters from Korea, the older is Ju-Hee and the younger is Sin-Lee (I hope I wrote those names right…). Viktoria is a German girl from the Blackforrest and shee was the youngest of the group. The only other guy was Joha who came from Finnland. Iris and I were the last of our group.

First we headed to the Croc farm where we got breakfast and were then shown wild crocodiles which had to be put in captivity due to them being a nuisance in the wild. On the farm there are also many other nice animals and even really cool looking praying mantices.

We then drove to the ferry which took us to Magnetic Island. On Magnetic island we only spent the night but it had a beautiful view and a lovely sunset. We spent the evening at the X Base backpackers and had fun at the bar, but turned in rather early as we were quite tired.
