Here in Sydney
We are in Sydney now and will be here still Saturday morning. Then we will fly up to Brisbane to meet up with my father and his wife. Our flight arrived Sydney on Tuesday 11am. By the time we reached the city, we were all very hungry. We checked in with no problem at Meriton Serviced Apartment on Pitt Street. We like the location a lot as we are very close to all the things - restaurants and groceries. After checking in, our first goal is to get lunch. We bought some bento boxes and noodle bowl from the Sakura restaurant next door. The boxes are around AUD10 each. Then we went back to our 37th floor 2 bedrooms apartment to eat. After lunch, we put our toddlers to sleep and then me and my sister went back down to Woolworths to get some groceries. We are not planning to eat out all the time, so mainly we were going to get some food to make for dinner.
Most of the evening time that day we spent walking around the city area. We walked down to Circular Quay (20 mins) and then took the train back. The train ride cost $3.20 for a single way. The Sydney Opera House was lighted up when we were there and it was magnificient.
Yesterday, we walked to Darling Harbour and then to the Sydney Fish Market to have lunch. After that we took the tram, train and bus to Bondi Beach. During the trip to Bondi Beach, the kids napped. It was nice weather when we arrived at Bondi Beach. We were glad as this morning when we were walking to the Sydney Fish Market, it was raining very hard. We spent about an hour in Bondi Beach and took the bus back to Bondi Junction Mall. Later we took the train back to the city and had very simple dinner back in the apartment.
Today, we will be meeting up with our blogger friend and family - Mommibee. Can’t wait. ![]()
