Our last dinner in the city. Love the building which was very well lit
Alessi 🙂
How it works is everyone gets the beginning journey which has all 8 appetisers! I could just eat appetisers in small portions! Then you choose one choice, two choices or three choices which you select on the bottom portion

James said to google lifeguards Bondi Beach! Hmmm…..So we walked down the beach to look for them! 🙂 unfortunately none in sight!
Instead we went to the main street to look for the best fish and chips. We did not know which one so we just walked and saw this!
So we entered! Even if we were so full from lunch, we just wanted to try it
Plenty fresh seafood
They have malt vinegar!! Very important for us to have malt vinegar with fish and chips!! They have salt. pepper and chicken powder! It’s important to put salt and pepper aside from malt vinegar and here they have chicken powder! 🙂
Okay, it was good!! We do not know if it is the best in the city because we have not tried all but this was good even after we had lunch already 🙂
And we saw this sign too so we ordered to try!
It’s mostly batter and with lots of oil, so maybe not so healthy then the Mars bar is inside the thick batter. So you can skip this and just concentrate on the fish and chips! Yum! 🙂

We are back! A good reason to go to Bondi Beach since we do not really surf! 🙂

Aside from great food, this time was memorable for us because we finally saw Cameron Diaz! I took this since she was going the other direction from our table

James was smarter to await her return and took this 🙂
Javier says there are helicopters flying above to check on Bondi Beach for safety and security – watching out for sharks! 🙂 So these must be them
Security guards of Cameron Diaz waiting outside the restaurant! Spotted two photographers / paparazzis like me 🙂 waiting a bit far from the restaurant – they have their zoom lenses anyway 🙂

Another one of my favourite places in Sydney!! It’s very near the Four seasons hotel, just walk down the Circular Quay
view towards the hotel
It’s a beautiful walk to see the sights – Harbor Bridge
towards the Opera House

This was the highlight of our trip! Our day at Blue Mountain. We hired a driver with a van for the day to take us there
There are 4 ways to explore the place through Scenic World
The first way was by Cableway where we saw the beautiful Katoomba Falls
Beautiful stone mountains and greenery that looked like broccoli 🙂
The complete photo of the Katoomba Falls
You can already see the Three Sisters from the cableway
the nest day the Royal couple visited! 🙂
We took the Skyway which is a cable car

to get to the next stop was the Walkway – you can choose different lengths 🙂 we chose the shortest because of time constraint. Then we regretted later on not going the long way because just the short way was so beautiful!
A nice view from the rainforest of the Three Sisters
The last way was the Scenic Railway! You have to ride it once in your life! It’s not a roller coaster ride but it’s the most unique way of doing a scenic ride I have ever experienced
It’s the steepest incline railway in the world!

About 30 minutes away from the city, we stopped by the Featherdale Wildlife Park on the way to Blue Mountain
We enjoyed very much this place!! It’s not too overwhelming because it is a small area with lots of animals to see and visit
Peacocks roaming in the driveway before you enter
Our tour guide Lindsay who knew the black cockatoo 🙂 He would call his name and he would fly to him!!!
Love love!! Since we were early and the first to enter the park, it was not crowded and we were able to see the animals up close with ease! Especially the Koalas 🙂
You can buy Kangaroo food and feed them
As you pass by each part, you stamp your passport

Around Sydney, there were Rhinos being displayed in strategic locations. There are 85 of these Rhinos designed by artists. They were auctioned off and proceeds will go to the Taronga Zoo Rhino Conservation program
