SYDNEY - hectic and short, yet a very memorable journey...
SYDNEY TRIP 24.06.05 - 26.06.05~ this is pretty much outdated actually, however since I had abandoned my blog for a quite long time, so I decided to post it =)
The idea of going to Sydney was suggested by my good friend Rei, she just suddenly popped out the question out of the blue, well... after careful considerations, I agreed to go. First of all, the timing was perfect, during this period of time everything is on sale =P. Secondly, I've been longing to go to Sydney for eye sightings and especially shopping with my girl friends, so it's sort of like girls' days out hehehe (wish Nop could join us, ya ga nop? ^^). I was actually saddened by the fact that I could not be able to join my family travelling to Europe, the process of the Schengen visa was just taking too long if you apply from here coz they need to send out all of the application form and documents to Sydney and send it back to Melbourne once it's been granted, so yea... my mom said maybe it's just not meant to be for me and my younger sis to go. However, I feel sorry for my dad coz he needs to work and we're travelling without him?! This happens everytime. So, not leaving my dad alone is one of my consolations not to be sad. Therefore.... off we went to Sydney! My younger sis has already gone back to Indo, so she is accompanying him hehehe
First Day:
We departed from Melbourne early in the morning, we took the 7 am flight and planned to go back Melbourne with the 8.45 pm flight on Sunday. We only had three days so we ain't going to waste any precious single hour of the trip hahaha. Once we landed out feet in Sydney, we quickly used every single second for window-shopping and wandering around the city.
Places visited: Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, City, QVB, Pitts St. Mall, Tiffany & Co. (so much bigger compared to the one in Melb!) and we had this most delicious gelato I had ever tasted (the shop is called Gelatissimo), very very yummmmmy ^^ I had Hazelnut & Rocher, as usual hehehe~
Second day:
It's a full day of both shopping and window shopping! Marking around the city was really tiring as the structure of the city was very messy, unlike Melbourne, plus there was no tram or any easier transportation. In the evening, we met up with one of our old friends who used to be our schoolmate back in Kilmore, known as CK. He was kind enough to drive us around Sydney and showed us the best spots to take photos, such Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, Kings Cross, Double Bay and Shangrila Hotels. I orginally planned to meet and do a little bit of catch up with one of my Junior High School friends, C. Yapit, unfortunately she was not able to come as her exam period was not over yet at that time, plus the weather was being unfavourable throughout my whole trip in Sydney, so I had no chance of meeting up with her =(
Last day:
Visited Chinatown, Paddy's Market and Pitt Street Mall.
Met up with CK and his friends for dinner and had a little bit of glazing UNSW, I'd say it is a bit bigger than Mel U..
Afterwards, CK drove us to airport, so nice of him!
BYE BYE SYDNEY, looking forward to going there again ^^
PS: Pics coming up soon....
