Friendly Mates
Australians, on a whole, are by far the most friendly people we have encountered on our trip. So far, we’ve stayed in someone’s house that we didn’t know, while they were away for the weekend. We’ve emailed a random about renting a apartment, and although they didn’t have a place for us, they have asked us to several parties so they can show us a local experience in Sydney. And finally, we met a few people while on Murray Beach. They happened to ride in on boat to take a swim. They offered to take us out for a ride to try to see some whales and dolphins, which we happily accepted. We must have gone out at least 10 miles in the middle of the ocean (probably a hour ride). Although we didn’t see any whales or dolphins, we did see a flying fish! The boat ride was pretty unique and another example of how Australians are such friendly mates! |
