Madeleine and family backpacking around the globe

Sydney Sights

I got a once in a life time opportunity to see something at the Sydney Opera House. It was very beautiful inside, the architectural design was like someone put a bunch of different pieces on it and made it amazing. Plus, it was a woman conductor. We had a great view, and the way she could conduct everyone was just outstanding.

Everything in Sydney was just amazing, including the food, good weather, the cleanliness, and you never felt board, because there was just so much to do!

My favorite things to experience were the Opera house, the wax museum, shopping *but I didn’t get anyting because I have about the same room as if an ant had a backpack!*. We went to a pretty cool bookshop, and (yawn) went to museums, and explored around the city a lot.

I’ve loved my time here, and I’m sad to leave, but I’m excited to share my next adventures with all of you!!

Next up….driving down the coast to Melbourne, let’s hope my dad will stay on the correct side of the road!🤞

Oh and by the way, the side by side one with my mom, has a 20 year later difference in the same spot.

Miss you all!

  1. Madeleine, your updates are so fun to read!! Your trip looks amazing so far! It sounds like you really liked Sydney. Someday we will visit there too! Dan named Syd after there, you know.

    The 20 year picture of your mom and the tree-lined street is SO COOL! She must be so happy to be visiting there again with you and William. (And the picture of her hurdling 🫢🤣). We miss you Baumlers!!

We are a family of 4, my parents met traveling and later had kids and decided that they would take us traveling around the world too! And that’s how it all started!
