*mds* and I woke up to a chilly morning to meet up with Joanne and Wei Khoon for a 1 day tour around Sydney. As our hotel (Y Hyde Park Hotel) is conveniently located in the central Sydney area such that most of the attractions are all within walking distance, we decided to start our exploration by foot. First stop: Circular Quay and The Rocks. Below is a map showing the Central Sydney and the attractions that we are possibly going to explore!
The Sydney Opera House across the mini channel
This is the Farmer's market where the farmers around Sydney gather every weekend to sell their products. Some of the items on sale include wines, jams, bread and handicrafts. I have expected the shops available in the market to be on a bigger scale, possibly around the ones I have seen in USA where there are around thirty to forty shops, unlike here, where there is only around 15 shops available. We finished grossing though the whole place in less than half an hour.
A tour around where the immigrants are housed during the pre-history of Australia in 1800s.
Our lunch of the day: Pancakes on the Rock
Hot pancakes mixed with heavenly chocolate ice-cream and specially in-house maple syrup! Delicious =)
After lunch, we proceed to explore around the Sydney CBD area. The picture above is taken inside the Queen Victoria Building, where all the high scale boutiques are located.
I forgot what this building is called, it is either the Town Hall or St Andrew Cathedral.
I speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil. =)
The Market City, where the Paddy Market is located. In there, you can find all the things that you need. Souvenirs, local products, towels, jackets and even nuts all at bargain price!
The LG IMAX, a 3D experience that you have never experience before.
This is the Pyrmont Bridge located in the Cockle Bay inside the Darling Harbour. The day that we came, they are celebrating the Darling Harbour 21st Anniversary. Expect lots of fireworks and nice performances starting in the evening.
Do you believe if I say that this is supposed to be a bowling alley + pool entertainment center? Looks like they are throwing a party here, where beer and chips are everywhere. If only Singapore has such services. Hah.
Our dinner for the day: pork and lamb ribs at the Hurricane Grill. Guaranteed 100% full if you managed to finish the whole stack of ribs!
The night scene of Darling Harbour
And the celebration of Darling Harbour 21st Anniversary is underway! =)
Thank you again to Joanne and Wei khoon for sparing their time to show us around the wonderful Sydney~ =)
