Backpack to Sydney

13 Nov 2010 Sat - flight from Tullamarine Airport to Sydney Airport. The flight was delayed for more than an hour. Travel to CBD by train. Left my back at YHA locker. Walking to Sydney Harbour Bridge and climb the Pylon Lookout. Then walked to Sydney Opera House.

Checked in at 2pm. Took a shower.

Evening, I walked through the downtown streets to see the Sydney Tower but not climb it. I visited the Archibald Fountain and went straight to Mrs Macquaries Chair.

14 Nov 2010 Sun - Second day in Sydney. After sunrise, I walked to the Milsons Point at the north of the Harbour Bridge. Then I checkout from the hostel. I travelled (by ferry) to Manly Beach. At 2pm I left the CBD and went to the airport. I was so tired.

2nd Trip to Melbourne

After a week break, I went to Melbourne again. Although there is no job activities in the office, I just sit down and play with the blog.
