Sydney Marathon

---

Greetings from the Down Under!

This is my second leg of a journey with Halef and Ryan to the Australasia. We have been staying over in Sydney for a while, with an excursion to Australian nation capital of Canberra.

Australia is definitely a rewarding place to visit, and Sydney is enjoyable to walk around. The city is beautiful, plethora of entertainments and venues. We did so many different things in this great city, and love it every minutes of it!

I met Halef's friends in Sydney: Fika, Vivi and Jenni, and of course they all love me. Even Fika invited me over to Melbourne where she lives, and I wish I had more time in Australia to visit her.

On Sunday, Ryan and Halef completed their Sydney Marathon, which consists of 42,195 kms of running. Ouch. But they both finished it with no problem, and by the time of writing, they are in the process of recovering from the ordeal (or bless?)

But regardless, we all have great time here in Sydney. Until next time,

-Cy
