Dear and my third trip to Australia but the first overseas trip with Renee!
9 days to Sydney, could you imagine?
Well, it included Blue Mountain and Hunter Valley, luckily ^^
The only setback was our strategy with our accommodation. The kick start was way too luxurious! World Tower!!! The standard was set too high... We started our first 3 nights with beautiful view of Sydney 's BCD...
Followed by 2 nights stay at Blue Mountain cottage. It was one of the top 2 accommodation which was highly recommended at Leura...
Followed by Harrigan's resort at Hunter Valley. The vineyard was accessible from just our 'backdoor'... a late noon stroll along the side of the plantation was remarkably interesting when we crossed our path with wild wallabies ^^
A quick drop by to the Bondi Beach. Dad managed to comb Google map to find his way to the beach and brought us to uphill areas to have a better view of the beach before we get to the sand... very cool experience!
Last day was Free and Easy for all of us. Sis secretly met a guy friend for brunch... dad and mom went walking around to lots of places... Dear and I got 'cheated' by the train ticketing system at first, then we managed to get even somehow because what goes around comes around. .. muahahahaha!!!
Conclusions?
I couldn't take western food or pies for more than 3 days...
Trust Google map but always give every 'different' turn it's benefit of doubts...
Service apartment is good... because I can wash and dry clothes conveniently!
Woolsworth and Coles are wonderful places!!!
My first overseas holiday trip without bringing a camera... cool, huh? (So these pics are mostly selfies taken with phone)
