First off, a little story to go with the pictures. Jen, who I met on the Contiki tour, and myself got a job working at a motorbike show over the weekend. We worked selling a product that waterproofs leather. It was so boring, but it was work, so we put up with it. On the Saturday we were told that we could go for free Harley rides. Why not!? So, on our break, we went out and got to ride around Olympic Park. The show was held at the Olympic Park which was cool in itself because we got to walk around the venues that held the 2000 Summer Olympics. The Harley ride was awesome!
We decided on Friday that we would head downtown Sydney to see if we could watch the Australian Idol Finale that was going on on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Tonight we got down there and there was no way that we would be able to see anything because it was all gated off and you needed a ticket to get in. We were kind of bumbed out, but it was all good. At that point a man walked up to us and handed us two extra tickets that he happened to have. So, in we went! We kind of felt silly since we had no idea who any of the contestants were. Needless to say, it ended up being a great show! It rained off and on, but it was bearable.
My favorite moment was when the top 12 contestants along with a choir and full orchestra, sang Viva la Vida by Coldplay. This being one of my favorite songs, I was pretty excited. On top of that, when it got near the end of the song, loads of fireworks went off behind the Opera House. It was a beautiful moment between the fireworks, singing, orchestra, and of course, a great Coldplay song.
It was a great night and here are a few pictures from the night,
