Sydney


Yihan will love this photo.
It is an Xmas tree made from plastic drink bottles that will later be recycled.


A tour of the city by the professional guides =)




A day at the zoo. Family outing. Taronga Zoo was super huge.



Some cute animals. Koalas are actually quite useless. They sleep 20 hours a day, wake up and chew on toxic eucalyptus leaves. Baby koalas need to swallow some POO from fellow koalas before consuming the leaves or else they would die from the toxic.







Maruba Beach. Sunny and clear Blue.




Our heavenly accommodation @ the Blue Mountains, 2 hours west of Sydney with our rented luxury car. We were so close to nature and the house was nicely decorated with a Jacuzzi. We had a bubble dip.






A view from some lookout.



Panoramic view and the 3 sisters. Nice but overrated.



A sunrise that I narrowly missed. Watched it for 2 sec and went back to bed.


A unique shop in one of the tiny towns. I loved the shops in Leura. So unique.






Our long windy drive to the Jenolan caves. Nic and I have seen caves in Germany and NZ and decided to explore the FREE areas near the caves, while my parents and sis went for the guided tour. There were heaps of walking trials but we were not properly attired and my parents and sis wont be interested. Would have done it if we were with nara, sara and ben=)





The cave had stuff that looked like lobster(right). hehe... Managed to meet up with Sara and ben twice in Sydney. It was good=) Nara had to leave for the US. See him next time.
