Aussie trip Part 2 - Sydney

Day 4  (10th May)

 
Crumpet for breakfast.  This is a must try!
Australian brings this wherever they go.  It tasted a bit like Marmite.
Had breakfast in the morning
Poached the egg in the microwave, spread the boysenberry jam on the toasted crumpet, spread the Vegemite on our bread, making chocolate drinks for ourselves
Standing in front of the train which has two floors
We took the train to the city after breakfast
That was the best day because of the warm weather
It's 22 degree celcius
First, we went to this historical building named after Queen Victoria
There's nothing much in the building except seeing the clock which was repaired in Ipoh, Malaysia long ago
The Queen Victoria's building




Saw this adorable girl on the street





Picnic on the grass at Hyde Park
Lying on the grass
First time lying on the grass
One thing was weird
I could'nt find any ants on the grass
I lay down comfortably on the grass without having to worry about ants
Those Aussie love laid back lifestyle
Saw people lying on the grass sleeping, couples chit-chatting, students studying
China town





Being a kid at the playground
This thing is so scary.  I salute those kids.
Guess what.  This is not a temple but a RESTAURANT.
This restaurant named Chinta Ria
It served mouth watery Chinese food
I reckon it's the best Chinese Restaurant in Aussie
The atmosphere was pretty good
It's a good place to have candlelight dinner

Day 5   (11th May)
Went kayaking at the Narabeen Lake
First time experiencing kayaking for 2 hours!
It's super tiring ><
Kayaking at the Narrabeen Lake


Took a walk to The Gap
Could see the whole Sydney from there
We had to walk faster since the sky was getting dark
Went down after taking few pictures
We could hardly see our fingers by that time
The Gap
The nice scenery
Dinner at Mexican Pub
                                 The rice was made of those grains. 
RIVIERA ICE-CREAM!!! BEST OF THE BEST!!!
             Tallest and biggest ice-cream I have ever seen.
Day 6   (12th May)
That day was extremely cold in the morning
Arrived at Taronga Zoo around 9.30 am
The Zoo was situated beside the sea
The environment was totally different from M'sia
I still recall the zoo in M'sia was damn smelly
We saw kangaroo, australian devil, emu, koala bear, penguin
Too bad, we did'nt get to see the platypus since they were too shy
I learned that the innocent looking platypus were venomous 
A guy feeding the emu
Kids watching the whales swimming
Little penguin


I could'nt believe it!   Two Koala kissing
Went to Sydney fish market which was a stone throw away from Taronga Zoo
Saw different kinds of seafood there
Some looked really yummyy
But expensive ><
The Rocks
I love The Rocks
It's like our bazaar here
But the things they sold were different
One thing enchanted me the most was the space art done by an artist on the street
Saw a big doggie outside the cafe
Boomerangs
Australian boomerangs were used by the aborigines for hunting
Nowadays, boomerangs with different design are sold almost everywhere as souvenir in Aussie
It's really artistic
We went Harry's pie for supper
Even Obama had been there 
Harry's pie
Tiger pie
Tried tiger pie
It had a funny name
At first, I thought it was spicy by hearing the name (well, I just dunno why..)
After trying, IT'S NOT SPICY AT ALL
The top part was the green peas with special gravy
There's chicken inside
Full
Gotta pack our luggage to Cooma


Location: Sydney NSW, Australia

Australia Part 11- Stanwell Park, Kiama Blowhole, Kings Point Retreat Ulladulla for Camping

Image
Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (need to zoom in my pi

Eco Forest One Day Trip

Image
Have you heard of the Eco Forest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? (Formerly known as Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas) I only got to know about it recently And it shocked me that the city centre of KL actually has a forest?! This is the entrance that we entered from We took the monorail to Station Bukit Nanas Once you walk out from the station You will see this sign Just follow it There are actually 2 routes (one from Jalan Ampang and the other one from Jalan Raja Chulan) If you follow the Jalan Ampang route You will need to hike for approx 20-30 minutes in the Canopy Walk depending on your speed It was quite an easy hike But lesser people The Raja Chulan route is the nearest to the suspension bridge So if you just want to grab some nice Instagrammable pictures It is better to go to the Raja Chulan route Immersing ourselves in the forest There were actually very few people using this route So it is better to come in a bigger group of people And remember to bring mo

Palladium Cafe KL & Batu Caves

Image
On one fine day (3rd of August) Our original plan was to have our lunch at NU Sentral followed by Palladium Cafe KL But we ended up with a half day trip to the Batu Caves Unexpected trips are the best right? So after having done some shopping and lunch at Pasta Zanmai We took the KTM to Taman Wahyu According to one blog The Palladium Cafe is actually within 10-15 minutes walk from the Taman Wahyu KTM station We initially followed But unfortunately there was some construction going on that day So they blocked the roads (you can still walk there but it will be quite dangerous given that you have to walk besides the highway with speeding cars) After walking for about 10 minutes We walked back to the ktm station and took a cab instead (which only cost us RM3 cuz it was really near) It was a great workout especially when we had to carry the shopping bags and walk under the evil hot sun! Your mood will be instantl
