Day 9 June 16th 2011 Last Non-Traveling Day

Prompt: End of the Trip: Top Ten

Summary: Today we visited the rainforest and went to the town of Kuranda and got to explore around and eat at some cool places. We took a gondola ride over the rainforest which was awesome and also took the train out to the rainforest.

My top two are tied for the top 10

1. Alec taking us to watch the Rugby game. Alec took us to a palce to watch the state of origin Rugby game so we got to see what it was really like when Australian's watched Rugby and how they treated it within their culture.
2. Rangitoto College- It was so much fun to make friends with New Zealanders and see how much different they are from us in many ways.
3. Maori Village- In New Zealand we saw an awesome Maori village and saw what life was like for the natives and had an awesome tour guide to show us around.
4. Sydney- This city was a spectacular city and I fell in love as soon as I got there. Sydney made me think that maybe when I'm older it would be awesome to live here or anywhere else in Aussie.
5. Cairns- The city of Cairns was awesome and also inspired me to live here because it was so chill and the restaurant Outback Jack's was great which we went to two nights in a row.
6. Great Barrier Reef- The GBR was very cool obviously and is only far down on the list because there were so many other amazing things that we experienced on this trip so it was hard to make a list of everything.
7. Blue Mountains- Even though it was wet and foggy,  it was still awesome to see all the waterfalls and different hiking trails, but unfortunately not the views.
8. Rotorua- Despite the smell, it was a cool town and it was nice to see the sulfur lake which was right outside of our hotel.
9. Ogoing- Ogoing was awesome and was unique because it originated in New Zealand. Rolling down a hill in a ball full of hot water with my friend Erik definitely deserves a spot on my top 10.
10. Pot Pies- Eating the delicious meat pies throughout the trip was awesome and they were delicious. It was nice because they had these pies at basically every cafe we went to.
