Nothing could be better than a refreshing sleep and wake up to enjoy a nice good view of the country.
10.37 am and it is finally time to say goodbye to Ironbark Cottage. I must admit we are kind of sad that we did not get the chance for a hot air balloon flight. The weather is just so excellent. How can it be bad weather as they say. This is really very puzzling. Well, on we go, back to the city.
Not to forget a quick snapshot
The trip back to the city will take us about 2 hrs. So on the way back, Lat suggest Fish & Chips over at a place Mooney Mooney.
The town, Mooney Mooney, has a fantastic view of the sea view. Anyone who has a yacht, should stop by this town to enjoy a nice cold beer and fish and chips. After a 15 min search around the dock, Lat couldn't find the good fish and chip store. So, we decided to just give up and head down to Sydney fish market.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Yes at last, we arrived back in Sydney. It does feels kind of different crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge again. T,hen Lat stopped his car and I was wondering what was going on. Man...I can't believe my eyes. We got to pay $3 for toil just to cross this bridge. As the saying goes, NOTHING is FREE in AUSTRALIA. It stick true to the fact.
I keep having a wrong perception that the fish market should be wet and smelly like those we have in Singapore. Lots of fisherman should be there and people should be bid for the fish. But this wasn't the case. It was CLEANnnnn .... It has no smelly, fishy smell inside the market. The whole fish market is pack with people and SEAFOOD. I have never see seafood fresher than what is display inside. After like 1/2 hr of buying and comparing prices like aunties, we manage to grab lots of seafood and now to find a spot to sit. Lat suggest we sit outside but there wasn't really any space outside and there are too much seagulls and not to forget to mention they keep pooping. Good thing, we manage to find seat inside the market and let the FeasT being. Seafood, Yummy yummy ... ...
After a nice good meal, it's time for more posing. The background is the Anzac Bridge.
We decided since we are in the city, we might as well head down to the AMP tower to watch the sunset.
View of the City
Check out how expensive the fee is
See the yellow Envelop, it is an illegal Parking Ticket fine. Unbelievable, even parking ticket was given in style.
While on our way to AMP tower, we stop by a chocolate shop call BonBon. What is so special about this shop. Check out the chocolate.
Can you even believe that's chocolate
The AMP Tower. The one place, you get to see the entire view of Sydney city. The timing, perfect for us, because we going to catch the sunset. It took us awhile to get past the security and queue up for the elevator. When we got up the top of the tower. The view of the city was immersing.
After the beautiful sunset and night view of Sydney, we head down to Darling Harbour to catch some fireworks before we head down for dinner.
Gosh, a Monorail inside the City. Vintage.
Arhhh, I can't believe my eyes. A 7-11 store !! WEee so exciting ... it has been like half a yr since I last saw 1. Well, we went in and walk out with Surlpe. They are good.
Enjoying the Darling Harbour and the fireworks
After enjoying the firework at Darling Harbour, we decided to head straight down to our dinner. Talk about being hungry.
Our selection: Choys Chinese Restaurant.
It is a very cosy restaurant with the nice Asian setting. Food was fabulous. I have to say restaurant in Sydney always serve good food. Love every thing I put in my mouth. Especially, the desert, we love it the most.
After a filling dinner, we head back to the apartment to rest. Tomorrow ChinaTown.
