Australia trip PART ONE- Day 1 & 2

Took a trip to Australia, Sydney and Melbourne for a total of 19 Days! So heres the post(s) on what we did in chronological order =) Breaking it up in different posts so as not to be too lenghty

Day 1

Arrived in Sydney in the morning super early in the morning around 7am and the trains at the airport were undergoing trackwork therefore we hadda commute by bus instead. It was a bit overwhelming at first but we managed to arrive at Gordon, the train station near the place we were staying at.
On the train!!

@ Gordon =)
Our host, Don, a super enthusiatic guy came to meet us and brought us back to the house. We rested and waited for Gareth to come over and bring us around =)

So we started off the trip with the northern beaches! First off was sydney harbour, Gareth drove us to a place where we had a great view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge! From there we caught a glimpse of Luna Park =)


It looks like a great place to picnic as well =)

Then we headed to Balmoral Beach to have some Fish and chips by the beach, it was literally an enid blyton dream come true as we sat on the cliff and ate our fish and chips. LOL we were harassed by some hungry seagulls.


the seagull that harassed us for FOOD!! tsk!


After lunch, we took a long drive to Palm Beach, Where I took seriously dam beautiful pictures of the beach!! And Climbed the rocks around the beach jumping from rock to rock =)

Check out the sky!!

Gorgeous Sea, beautiful sky and awesome rocks! =)



After that we headed back to our apartment!


Day 2
We had brunch at a cool Japanese place near townhall. It serves awesome donburis!! =)
(We didnt alight at townhall though, we walked from wynyard)


We headed to the Rocks where there were having a market place and bought a few awesome stuff! saw a speed spray paint panter in real life as well!!


After that we strolled along Sydney harbour, walked past the opera house and went to the Royal botanic gardens where we sat down and watched and rested.

Grassy Area in the Botanic Gardens

I love the leaves!!

After that it was evening mass at St Mary Cathedral. I was so sleepy and it was so cold and I was so bundled up in soft clothes I almost fell asleep standing up!! =O


Plus it was pipe organ and there was only one person singing... Had such a hard time staying awake!! =/ The place was really nice and all though.
Grabbed Pizza on the way back to the house. IT WAS DELICIOUS!! =)
Best Pizza eaten ever!




Well, technically its a calzone but.... hahaha Whatever! =X
