June Holidays - Trip to Melbourne & Sydney (10-17 Jun 2011) - Part 2

We arrived gloomy Sydney and checked into a Medina 2 bedroom service apartment.  The apartment is as big as a 4-room flat with everything included.  We were all happily washing and drying our clothes with the machines provided so that there's minimal laundry back to Singapore.


Gloomy Sydney .. is because it was raining non stop during our short visit.  Such a waste.  See Kaelyn holding the umbrella tightly whilst doozing off . 


We head straight to Circular Quay where Sydney icon - Sydney Opera House, Habour Bridge & Darling Harbour are.  Nice but because of the weather, the sky turn dark sooner than expected so our photos didn't turn out too well


We ended our day earlier as we are setting off early the next day for the Blue Mountains National Park.  We took a train to the Blue Mountains for the Three Sisters.  The journery was super long... can't remember how long but I thought it was almost 1.5 hours on the train.  As we get nearer and peaks, the mister it gets.  By the time we reach our stop, oh my god, the weather is soooo cold & misty...we reckon it will be unsafe to get there, all of us will get drenched in the mist and near impossible to see anything even if we get to the Three Sisters.  See, we can't even see what is opposite the road... Such a disappointment!!  We had Subway for lunch and head back to town.. Travel for 3 hrs to eat Subway was the joke till today.




After a disappointing visit to the Blue Mountains, we all agreed we need to eat something good for dinner to make ourselves happy.  We had a nice charcoal bbq dinner... see the prawn, when u put the sticks of prawn on the machine, it auto turn the sticks so that the food will be cooked evenly without you turning it manually.  Nice, warm & cosy evening!



Day 3 breakfast is homecooked meal.  After eating all the Australian food, we are all craving for porridge hahah.. so here's the spread. 


Today is the day where we parted our ways too.  Daddy & Mummy decided to bring Kaelyn to kids attractions while Uncle Swee Lye & Aunty Christabelle will find their own entertainment - Shopping!  We visited the Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Wildlife World.  I think these are the highlight of Kaelyn's trip.


 





Hope to see you soon... Australia!
