The Yam's Journey in Australia - Chapter 8




~Day 3 in Sydney: 1/2 Day Sydney City Tour & Watsons Bay Tour

Famous Tourist Attractions that we've seen/ visted for this 1/2 day City Tour:
- Sydney Opera House
- Sydney Harbour Bridge
- Mrs Macquarie's Chair
- The Gap - Heads of the Harbour
- Bondi Beach (Nice beach, with cold winds and hot sun combi!)

Traveled past:
- The Botanical Gardens
- The Art Gallery
- Conservatorium of Music
- Darling Harbour
- Kings Cross (Red-light District)

After the 1/2 Day City Tour, we went to the Watsons Bay for the famous Doyles Fish & Chips. The fish is simply tender and delicious. Ordered a big portion of Seafood Platter for myself while Dear had Fish & Chips. Should have shared my portion with Dear cuz I can't finish... Oh by the way, when you travel to Australia, you may want to bring own packets of Tomato/Chilli sauces as the sauces are not for free... : P
Watsons Bay is a very peaceful and quiet town, with inflows of tourists coming by ferry every now and then, going for the Doyles Fish & Chips. After Watsons Bay, we took the ferry back to Circular Quay, to have a closer look at the Sydney Opera House. Took some pictures there then we moved on for another ferry ride to Darling Harbour. Walked to the Star City Casino (but not going in). As I gave the wrong directions, we ended walking up and down the streets as we were finding our way to the monorail station. Oh, we realise how expensive is the public transportation in Australia! Along the way, we stopped for yougurt and fruits platter. Then reaching the hotel, we went to the nearby supermarket and buy a 1/2 roasted chicken, 1 tub of coleslaw and potato & egg salad back to the room to eat.

Enjoyable "walk" in the Sydney City today, and took many nice pictures of the scenaries.
