For my last full day in Sydney, I took the day-long Blue Mountain tour. I originally planned to do this on Monday, but because of the rain, I put it off.
The tour bus picked my up at the Marriott near the loft at an un-godly 7:20AM. The driver and tour guide, Michael, was full of information and wit. He really made it enjoyable and made a couple of detours off the itinerary so we could get the best views of the mountains. Why called Blue Mountains? The mist of the eucalyptus trees gives the area a blue tint in the sunlight. Even though it was kinda overcast, you could still see the bluish tint.
The first stop, however, was at Featherdale Wildlife Park, a zoo with indigenous birds, animals, and reptiles. I would finally get to see kangaroos and koalas up close.

Wow, the koalas are CUTE. And a penguin! My favorite! Is that one koala sleeping, or are its eyes just closed? Love your photos throughout your trip but had to comment on these.
The koala was sleeping. Amazing how they just hold that position in a tree and sleep!
