Sydney, Australia Spring 2011: Day 2

Day 2 in Aussie!



So i was suppose to have my beginner surfing lesson on Bondi Beach that morning, but i woke up a wee bit late plus it was FREEZING, i was wearing thick leggings, long sleeved shirt dress & socks in our apartment and it was still too cold. Cannot imagine dunking myself into the freezing waters in Bondi Beach so i called the surfing school up and told them i needed to postpone my lesson because it was too cold. Lol

So i did some research on tripadvisor before the trip and found this free city tour listed as one of the top most do tours, really good reviews and well it's free what's the harm? (:



It's called I'm Free tours of Sydney, here's their website if you're interested to check out the city and cover all the must go landmarks within a couple of hours -

Caught a bus from our apartment to the Bondi Junction train station, then a train to Town Hall just a couple of stops away..


P1020403

So i alighted at town hall, followed the signboard at the train station and came out thru one of the exits, crossed the road and here i am at town hall!

So we started the tour from here, our tour guide Justin was really funny and i got to learn lots of interesting facts of Sydney that i would not have known if i hadn't been on this tour.

Loved that the I'm free tour wasn't all about boring old ass history that happened eons ago but i had a good laugh at all the funny interesting stuff.


I would really recommend this city walking tour if you would like to explore Sydney in a more fun, interesting way. (:

Lol apparently this Pig thing was donated to the Sydney Hospital by some country (i can't remember) and back at that country it was believed that you'll get good luck if you toss a coin there and rub his nose. Hahahah awww got rubbed so much the nose has been rubbed golden!



But seems like some naughty people have been rubbing ANOTHER spot for "luck"

Just sitting by the harbor and enjoying the nice weather! How i wished Singapore was like that. As if i can walk around around singapore for 3 hours and not break into sweat, sit at some random place to enjoy the beautiful view.
