When in Australia

I am having the time of my life. For sure I am the luckiest tourist ever. I went overseas just to follow up my nursing papers and spend the rest of the days exploring this country. I only have a minimum amount of pocket money so all my expenses are c/o my relatives. Oh yeah! Since one of my Titas went to Sydney for 2 weeks holiday too, the Tolentino family were so kind to show us around not just in the city but also the other suburbs of OZ.

So when in Australia, make sure you'll visit these places:

Monday, 28 November 2011- Just around Sydney's city

Daryl, Tita Josie, and me with the Harbor Bridge and Sydney Opera House

Luna park - an Amusement Park in Sydney

Tuesday, 29 November 2011- Dee Why Beach

the epic jump shot with Ki

SEA the SEEgulls? The other way around! :) 

Wednesday, 30 November 2011 Blue Mountains

I wanted to make a separate post for this trip because it was the best I've been so far. But I have heaps of backlogs now. Quick fact about this attraction: It was listed for its unique eucalypt vegetation (that makes it blue from a far or maybe even up close too). 

The Echo Point where tourists usually visit to see the spectacular view of the Blue Mountains
PS Don't forget to bring a jacket and don't wear shorts! You have to keep yourself warm!

The Three Sisters - Blue Mountains' landamark

Just like in the Philippines, there are legends behind the natural structures here in Australia mainly from the Aborigines. So here is the story of the three sisters named  Meenhi, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo. The typical forbidden love story. Same as Romeo and Juliet's, this time it's multiplied to three. They fell in love with the three brothers from the other tribe. They were not allowed to marry one another because of a certain tribal law. The frustration of the three men started the tribal war when they kidnapped the three ladies. So to keep the ladies away from harm, a witchdoctor cast a spell for them to turn into stone. Unfortunately, the witchdoctor died in war. He was not able to take away the spell to bring the three ladies back to life. 

Thursday, 01 December 2011 - Sydney Opera House

This is not just an ordinary picture taken outside the Opera House. This is the picture taken outside the Opera House after watching Sydney Symphony's concert inside THE CONCERT HALL.

My ticket and we actually have good seats. Picture taking is not allowed inside the concert hall. Here 's just a sneaky.

Then we went around the town hall, shops, park and this cathedral.

My wedding venue- St. Mary's Cathedral. You're invited! :)

Shopping! Shopping! Shopping!

Part 2 of When in Australia is coming next! Hopefully I won't get too lazy to do photo dumping again! Oops! Sorry!
