Sydney...Canberra

We got into Sydney at about 2plus am, checked into the Y and ended up zzzzing until afternoon. We then decided we were hungry and headed of on foot to Chinatown.


After a wonderful Yum Cha, we walked about and explore Paddy's Market...Sydney's version of Petaling street.
Bh looking at wigs, wondering how he'd look in the long blond one. I think he'd look "blond"...heheheh.

Nightfall is early in the southern hemisphere ( Bh can't open his eyes...) and before we knew it, we were hungry again...And so a visit to a Sydney icon ensued...Harry's Cafe de Wheels..must say, the dogs here...superb!!! We visited twice this trip, tried the pies and dogs and seriously, they were good!!! Later we explored the harbour at night...it was cold...even the locals found it cold..and I thought I was the only one freezing my @$$ off!Dinner was at Tony Roma's...the pics of those lovely baby bare back ribs have mysteriously disappeared..another good mum-mum...no wonder we both came back heavier!
When the next day dawned, the plan was to drop by the fish market, then off to the Blue Mountains...but BH and I, we wanted our seafood for lunch and so we had our lobster, prawn, fresh succulent oysters ( yummy), mussels, scallops and fish...fuiyo! Sedap!!!!We finally made it to the Blue Mountains...and took a pic, with the Three Sisters...the sky was an amazing blue.
Day 3 saw us visiting Bondi...nope, didn't see any nudies..

And of course, a must do in Sydney...the Harbour Cruise!!!You must experience the wind blowing into your face, distorting it...oh, it's clean, unlike the Penang ferry experience. Opera House being our lamp post

How else to see beneath the Harbour Bridge? And of course, we went to the Aquarium...these flers were just lepaking on the glass...you walk under and around a huge tank with huge, and I mean HUGE fishies swimming all around. Underwaterworld Singapore...pah!

On our last day in Sydney, we left early for the Fish Market again, Bh wanted to try the fish, steamed...I wanted my Lobster Mornay...more pics on facebook. By the time we reached Canberra, it was almost 5...Floriade was on, so Canberra had turned into a mini Keukenhoff..


Oh, we found time to goof around, before the long drive to Melbourne


More pics on Facebook...and next...Melbourne.
