Gap Year Globe Trotters: Right Then, Sydney
Out of all the places that we have visited so far, Sydney has been the only place that I feel that I could have lived in. Which is strange, because until recently Australia was one of the places that held no real draw for me - 'I've seen Neighbours. I know what it's all about!'

However, when it came to flying into Sydney I was as excited as a schoolboy! The first night Matt and I stood next to the famous opera house, we turned through 90 degrees to see the magnificent harbour bridge, through another 90 to see the dark, clear-cut silhouette of the city lit up against the night sky, and through the last 90 to see the Botanical Gardens. I let out a deep sigh and instantaneously declared my love for Sydney. This affinity with the city was strongly complemented by our time in Hillsong Church. Anticipation was high on our first visit to the church. One of my closest friends made a recommitment at Hillsong and talked so highly of the church that it had a lot to live up to, but I wasn't disappointed.
