What a day! Our first full day in Sydney included a coach tour & walking tour of downtown Sydney. We took a ferry ride past the Sydney Opera House, looked out over Sydney from the Sydney Sky Tower, & toured the Hyde Park Barracks.

Hell’s Gate Spa is where some of us headed today. The geothermal mud pool + sulfur pools melted all travel stress away. 🌞 Some of us did a cold plunge challenge for 2 min!!

Then ….we learned about jade, took a gondola 🚠 up a mountain, rode a ‘duck’, visited the agrodome, & ended the night w/ dinner & a show in a Maori village.

We visited the Maori village in Rotorua & got a chance to see their big geothermal geyser. We even ate corn cooked in geothermal HOT water. Very busy day today!!

At dinner, we celebrated the bday of fellow traveler Katie w/ a Tim Tam cake. To top it off, the flight crew on our long flight wrote us a special note & gave us some swag of decks of cards & keychains. @D127GetsReal @meg_lopez
