Check off the Coke Sign!

Today I had my first exam: There was a small party afterwards for the class to celebrate being over, but I was just ready to get back to see Lauren especially since she had told she had good news. Right when I walked in Lauren ran up to give me a big hug and congratulate me with being done with my first exam then she was excited to tell me that we finally had a couchsurfer host for our last week in Sydney. We found out that we would unfortunately have to move out before we expected because the landlord wasn’t happy with our renter. We thought this was a big inconveince at first, but now we’re okay with it since we’ll be the ones saving money in the long run! Having a confirmed couchsurfer definitely makes going to Melbourne and Tasmania a lot easier though. Lauren had been skyping with her family for Father’s Day while I was taking my exam so it was perfect timing once I got back since she was off and ready to go explore Sydney. We made a stop at St. Mary’s Cathedral one last time before we headed off to Kings Cross. We had been running low on candy and there’s this one shop in the Cross that usually has cheap candy, even if it is within a few days of the expiration date. We took a new route into Kings Cross from Hyde Park which we wish we would have discovered whenever we lived down that way because it definitely felt a lot shorter. Just like we expected, the shop had cheap candy which wasn’t close to it's expiration date, so that was a plus. We had a little over an hour to kill before sunset because we had another item on our bucket list to check off – take a picture of the Coco-Cola sign. We had seen this sign lit up many times during our first few weeks in Sydney and have actually missed seeing it since then. 

Finally got a picture of it fully lit up!

Does some cool designs!

Afterwards we were able to take our usual path back into the city to make it back and cook dinner, or rather breakfast. We were planning on having the breakfast works of pancakes, hashbrowns, and scrambled eggs for dinner! I’ll have to do a little perfecting on the hashbrowns but it was still delicious. We had to stay in for the night and pack for our upcoming trip to Cairns! That’s right, we were going to see the Great Barrier Reef in just two days! We also had to wake up around 5 o’clock to catch a train to the airport so we were planning on heading to bed early. Packing for warmer weather was a little strange, but made our backpacks a lot lighter!
