My Life in Sydney - Part II

During my stay in Sydney, I visited quite a number of places.

No tourist should miss the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.














Opera House















Sydney Harbour Bridge















Sydney City View

Had a stroll under the sails at Sydney's premier weekend market at the Rocks for homewares, jewellery, arts & crafts. The 'Pancakes on the Rocks' restaurant, apparently famous for its pancakes, is very popular, you can always see people queuing up to be seated.

Darling Harbour

















Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour. Actually I have not been to Aquaria in KLCC, so can't compare which one is better.
















Dumb shark, bite me if you can...
















A better view of Opera House taken from the ferry on my way to Manly.
















Manly Beach, big wave and misty...

Bondi Beach - this is one of the most famous beach in Sydney. There is a 'papaya farm' near the swimming pool but normally only available in Spring or Summer.















Nice beach, can't imagine during summer...















Nice pool

Paddington Market - Sydney's oldest community market for people to sell their arts and handcrafts.


















This is China Town. It was surprising to know that the Golden Boronia nougat that a lot of us like to buy as a souvenir is only available in China Town, or at the airport. According to the locals, aussie don't eat this type of nougat.














Hyde Park - A large park in the heart of Sydney.


















St Mary's Cathedral















Locals playing chess at Hyde Park


















Sydney Tower - a direction pointer when you are lost in the city...

More pictures from Blue Mountain and Hunter Valley coming up. Stay tuned...
Quiz: If you dropped your wallet, kick it all the way out of this place before you pick it up. Guess a street in Sydney...
