Sydney!
I had a whale of a time in Sydney! Picture whoring as usual... taking in the beautiful environment and meeting up with my mum's long time friend and her husband and not forgetting Val whom i only usually meet up with her back in Singapore when she gets home from her sch holidays... So yeah... I met her in Sydney! Haa!
Anyway here's a snippet of our short trip:
Day One
Catching the train from Leawarra Stn to South Yarra where we will then catch the airport shuttle
Checking ourselves in using the electronic kiosk and printed our boarding passes
The trains in Sydney are double-storey! Coolz!
In our hostel room situated right beside Sydney Central Stn
The winds on board the ferry to Manly where the rich ppl stay and where Tom Cruise own one of the Penthouses there!
With my mummy's long-time friend, Aunt Vivien and her husband, Uncle Eddie at Manly Wharf
The view of famous Sydney Opera House from the ferry
View of Sydney Harbour Bridge
Ending the day with delicious ice-cream =)
Day 2
Shoppin' @ Market City in Chinatown and then off to Bondi Beach!
Yeah.. ask me why we took so lil' pics at Bondi Beach when it was so beautiful... Poor Tiff's SD card went gaga & all the most wonderful pictures got wiped off... Learnt our lesson, always take pictures with a few cameras and not be lazy... However, the lovely pics remain in our memories for ever... So till then, Bondi Beach =)
Headed down to Chinatown for dinner at Zhu Ma Ma (pig's mum) Taiwanese Snacks. Then Eunice & I took a stroll to Darling Harbour before heading back to our hostel.
Day 3
Eunice's poach eggs| At Nan Tien Temple| Aunt Viven and Uncle Eddie| Butts|
Exercising| Shadows| Wollongong Blowhole| Coastline|
Lighthouse| Famous Harry's Pies at Wooloomooloo| In Eun's specs|
Driving on Tom's Ugly Bridge|
** Thanks Uncle Eddie and Aunt Vivien for driving us around for one entire day!
Day 4
We signed up for a day tour.. So off we went to Australia Reptile Park, then to Hunter Valley for wine tasting at Golden Grapes Estate where we got the delicious yummy Golden Tango Cream (much better than Baileys) and White Chocolate! Then off we went to Nelson Bay for Dolphine watching! Also, ate lots of sand at Port Stephens sand dunes while sand boarding (so fun but the climb after the descend is just so tedious) and washing off the sand at the shore.
Met up with Val who is studying in Sydney and then visited the casino.
Day 5
Aunt Viven and her friend, Aunt Veronica brought us to the Sydney Fish Market for brunch.. Seafood freakin' fresh i tell ya! Then off to the airport to catch our flight where we bought Krispy Kreme home! I'll see you again Sydney!
