Day Three:
The morning started out early with a quick stop at a local coffee and breakfast shop. Bob got to sleep in a little while Rob and I took the van to a mysterious location. It turned out we were going to be learning the ins and outs of Christie Fish Market. Rob played around with some oysters, we meet back up with Wazzie and picked up some $1200 dollar crabs! After the fish market, we meet back up with the group, including Bob, and took the van for a drive to the countryside. Where we were headed, we didn’t know. We took the hour drive to tweet up a storm! When we raised our eyes, we were outside of a sheep farm and ready to be put to work! Little did we know how much work we would actually be doing… The crew got their fair share of laughs when the three of us tried to herd the sheep. We first learned how to use the whip to cut through the sound barrier and then tried our hardest to get those bloody sheep into the crates! But seriously, this was one of the hardest things I have ever tried to do. After about thirty minutes of us trying and trying, they finally set the dogs out to do the dirty work. and in about thirty seconds, all the sheep were perfectly in the crates and they got a treat! After a really great day at the farm, learning how to shear a sheep, cooking some great food on an open fire and having a sing along, we were off back in the van, headed to our next adventure. We got to shower- yay!- and got all dressed up for the final night in Sydney. First stop, fashion show. It was awesome seeing the models walk and exploring all the venders. Bob really loved one vender in particular when he decided to get a spray tan. He walked out of the fashion show looking like he fell asleep in a tanning bed and no one woke him up for days! He was so dark!! We took our newly tan friend and headed to a local pub for a beer tasting and some pizza. Afterwards, the Bens, Rob, Bob and I got to see a Football game of Sydney vs. Queensland. We hit up several bars and really enjoyed the Wine Garden, where we had great wine, but finally relaxed and had a great time with all our new friends we had made on the crew. Since we were on the final leg of this crazy adventure, we took the time to enjoy the people, the city and realize just how much fun we were having. Only a few more hours until the challenge was over.
