Aussie trip Part 6 - Snowy mountain

Day 9   (15th May)
We said goodbye to our sheep in the morning
Headed to the snowy mountain
My mom and I were so scared that both of us could not stand the coldness there
Since the word 'snowy' indicated how cold the weather's gonna be
On the way to the snowy mountain
Reached the Kosciuszko National Park after about an hour drive
That place required entrance fee (expensive ! )
Sadly
It was not winter (July) yet
Since my mom and I went there in May
Therefore
The snow forming on the mountain was not thick enough
Playing snow.  Hehe.
Before my encounter with the REAL snow
I always thought that snow was as soft as cotton candy (imagination)
In reality, it's NOT
You can slightly feel the pain when someone throws a snow ball at you
But
It's FUN playing with the snow
Getting ready
We decided to drive to a higher place since there was little snow down there
The route was slippy and dangerous
However
We made it
Mount Kosciuszko
Mount Kosciuszko is the highest mountain in Australia
It's 2228m
Love the view so much
White white white
My footsteps
Time to build snowman.  Trust me.  It's hard ><
Tadaaaaaaa~ Mr. Snowman is here !
Snowy mountain was not that cold
This is due to the sunlight
 It's really amazing
You can feel the sun shining brightly at you without feeling hot at all
Rocklea road and Gloria Jean's coffee for tea time
Marshmallow, peanuts and tiny pieces of gummy bear coated by chocolate
Chinese dishes for dinner again
Something's different this time
There's a cool lady with us

Location: Mt Kosciuszko, Kosciuszko National Park, NSW 2642, 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
