Day Six: Sydney Bridge!!!!!!

Today, we split up so some people hiked the Blue Mountains while some of us went whale watching and climbing the Sydney Bridge.  Well, whale watching was cancelled due to poor weather, which sucked, but we were still climbing the bridge.  So in the morning, we went to Paddy's Market, which I did not like, probably due to the fact that I was dizzy the whole time...thanks to the Dramamine I took.  But the Bridge was incredibly cool...we were able to see for sixty miles!!!!!!!  It was unbelievably beautiful.  It was basically a bird's eye view of the entire city.  And then we went back to Alice's for more thai! :)

Over the last week or so, I have thought about how well I would do if I were to travel alone, and I have come to the consensus that I would be a pro in the airport, but getting out into the city or wherever I'm headed might be a little tough for me.  I know airports really well; I've been in way too many to count, but I do know that I've been in at least seventeen.  So airports are kind of my thing.  Getting into the city would be gough, but I could do it.  As long as I book a hotel in advance, I'll be okay for that.  From there on out, I would probably be just fine, as long as I book my outings and plan in advance because if I have a somewhat structured plan, I can leave room for the best part of travel: adventure.  Although I'm not good with navigating at all (I suck at reading maps), I think that I could find my way around, even if it meant getting lost a few times.  I would need some help, probably, just with booking and finding good hotels for cheap rates and looking for flights.

As for the whole adventure part, I would be pretty good because I like to go and explore and (sometimes) get lost because that's fun.  Getting lost is often the best way to find your way around a place.  My biggest challenge while traveling would be a lack of company.  I'm a very talkative perosn, so not having someone by my side to talk to would be really really hard for me.  I suppose I would get used to it, but I feel safer in a group.  Overall, I don't think I could go traveling on my own mainly vecause I'm sixteen years old and even though traveling is second nature by now, it just isn't an easy thing to do, so until I get into college, traveling without people older than me is probalbly a no.
