Day 12 - January 29

We loved spending time in Canberra, but we were excited to be going back to Sydney. Our plane took off at 8:00 and was a short flight at only 55 minutes. For our last couple of days in Sydney we decided we were being too conservative, and we tried to go all out with our spending. When we arrived in Sydney we had booked this really expensive hotel called the Pullman quay grand Sydney harbour. Overall the place was over $300 dollars a night which makes it the most expensive place we stayed at the entire trip.



We then made our way to this epic water park called Wet n Wild (entertainment), the slides and atmosphere was simply amazing. It was announced on september 11th 2010 and officially opened in December 12th 2013, it's actually the third wet'n'wild water park operated by a company called village roadshow park, the other locations are in Gold Coast and lost Vegas if you ever have the urge to go. The park is centered around a large wave pool known as "the beach" which was probably my favorite part. There was a lot of good food and concessions there so we just ate lunch on location

We then made our way to the Sydney Observatory (technology), a site on observatory Hill at the center of Sydney which evolved from a fort to an astronomical observatory in the early 19th century, now it's a working museum. We were able to observe the stars and planets through a cool modern 40cm Schmidt-cassegrain telescope and a historic 29 cm refractor telescope built in 1874. Then we decided to go all out for dinner, we went to this really fancy fine wine and dinning restaurant called ARIA, it costed $205 per person and the food was definitely worth it, they had great stuff like smoked duck, roasted lamb loin and a ton of other fancy foods that confused a lot of us but was still delicious, after that we went back to our room to go to bed after basically getting a food coma from the food. After eating, we walked back to our hotel, cause our hotel is literally the building next to the restaurant. We got some well deserved rest after this long day of fun.
