Grace Kim – Week 8

The final week in Sydney, time really did go by fast! This week was spent by eating lots of yummy foods that had been on my list for the longest time.

I got to take a surfing lesson on Manly Beach before class one day! It was a fun experience and I’m so glad to have been able to do it. Surfing was difficult, but it was a super memorable experience and I would definitely take another lesson and try to get good at it. The feeling of being in the water and riding a wave was so nice and I really enjoyed the experience.

And the start to spring break! With planned excursions, the time has already gone by so fast and been filled with fun moments. We got to go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, although the water conditions were not the most ideal and the boat ride was super rough. I’m still glad we got to dive in and see the beautiful reefs and the colorful fish! 

Another planned excursion we had was more of the land and freshwater parts of Cairns! With amazing waterfalls and jumping into a crater lake, this day was also an eventful one. The huge fig tree we got to witness was amazing and so amazingly tall.

I can’t wait for the rest of the week with planned excursions as well as free time to explore!
