Sydney Day 1

My flight was delayed due to bad weather condition. I arrived in Sydney on easter Friday morning half an hour later than initially planned. We checked in to our hostel and I was amazed by the quality of YHA Railway Square! It’s cheap in price but it is exceptionally good! The place is clean, beds are comfy, rooms are adequately spacious and cosy! Furthermore it’s only a walk away from Central railway station! I will strongly recommend those who are on budget to stay there!

Me arrived at Darling Harbour, Sydney

My last weekend was fun too. Rach & I decided to go to the beach and have a walk in the city. This is why I prefer living in the suburbs, it makes life more interesting, rather than staying in the city everyday and get bored of it so quickly.

It took us abit more than half an hour to reach Elwood. Once we arrived we noticed a lot of big and pretty houses along the beach, I’ll dream of getting one soon, haha.

The weather that day was fine and windy. The wind was so strong that it blew my hair like a 500hp hair dryer.

2 weekends back Rach & I went to visit the newest shopping center in the Melbourne – Harbour Town shopping center. We stomped our way there without knowing the exact location of it, only know that it is in Docklands. On our way there we find ourselves walking through Waterfront City.

Statues @ WaterfrontCity

These statues are very detail! It’s a very fine looking statue that Rach decided to have a peep underneath Dame Edna’s skirt.

An hour and 15minutes train ride take us down south at Frankston beach. It’s pretty nice to be there once in a while to feel the breeze from the sea. It was a windy and a sunny afternoon, Rachel and I walked down the beach like we were 10 years old.

Windy and sunny afternoon

1 and a half week ago I went up to Mt. Dandenong with Rachel. She was so nice to organize a trip for me after my hectic exams and to celebrate my completion of the degree. Thanks babe!!

So on this Sunday a week ago, we took a tram to Thrifty to collect our rental car. They hand us a Toyota Accent! even bigger than the originally booked Mitsubishi Lancer. Cool!

Off we go, again with the aid of my marvelous integrated GPS in my Dopod D810, we able to reach on top of Mt. Dandenong in 40 minutes only. Hassle free without even flipping the pages of Melbourne’s map directories.

Our first visit of the day is Miss Marple’s Cottage!! The English cottage is easily spotted by the road. We parked and off we went inside.
