Days 13-14: Sydney & Meaghan O'Rourke (by Chad)

We departed Queenstown after 8 amazing days in New Zealand. The pics dont even begin to show how beautiful the country is. One of their favorite sayings (for tourists) in NZ is that you can experience 4 seasons in one day. While this is a slight exaggeration it was not uncommon to wake up to a colder morning with rain, and by the afternoon be walking on the lake on a perfect 68 degree day. White water rafting, jet boating, wine tasting, glacier & heli hiking, boat cruises, and casinos. That's a wrap on NZ. Mark it on your list of places to visit.

We arrived in Sydney last night, and are staying in Darling Harbour. We're received tons of restaurant and activity recommendations so the 4 days will be fully booked. We should have some pics up in the next 1-2 days of the sights. Oh, and I'll be waking up at 6am tomorrow to watch the Pats-Chargers at a bar nearby. The crowd at 6am will either be 1) those who have been on a 10 hour bender, 2) or pathetic Americans like me watching a sport that no one in their country likes. Morgs will be sleeping, then shopping I assume.

And finally, New Zealand will forever have a place in the heart of Meaghan O'Rourke after I saw this bottle of wine in when we were leaving New Zealand yesterdayyesterday. To say this bottle desribes Megs to a T is an understatement. The things that a bottle of white wine will do to her can only be fully understood if you been at an all day BBQ with her on the Jersey Shore. ROARING MEG.
