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

I really love the interiors and design of this restaurant in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney
Wood Fired over. The wall behind is made out of tiles! LOVE!
Close up on the tiles
Interesting display of roots and a nice chandelier 🙂

I am loving this camera my friend, Dino, recommended to use! I just started trying it out during the Sydney trip
Here are some of the photos using the G16
The zoom is amazing!!
Even when the car is moving, it still can take quite a still photo. This was a shot going down from Tagaytay
Zooming in again from across the table
Sharing here two articles from my friend, Chef Dino Guingona in case you are looking for a camera, this is a great guide

Nearby the hotel is this Italian restaurant which we liked 🙂 It’s across the Museum of Contemporary Art. There were other good Italian restaurant recommendations, but sometimes convenience wins 🙂
I liked the Vespa display in front 🙂
It has three floors, this being the second and where we stayed
It’s a cozy place to meet up with friends! We were so happy to see Mayet. If you are a regular customer of Rustan’s Supermarket Makati, you will know this lady. One of our most loyal employees and the best in customer service. She now lives in Sydney and first worked in David Jones as customer service rep and now moved to America Express first as Customer Care professional and now Resolution Analyst. Obviously an expert in customer service. We love her!

When in Australia, Make sure to buy the most comfy boots ever 🙂 UGG. I want the pink one!! 🙂 but it’s for kids! haha
Near the Museum of Contemporary Arts, there is an UGG store.
I call this the Michael Jackson UGG 🙂
When buying UGGs i find that buying the colourful ones are more fun rather than always buying black or brown
There are many all over town but beware of counterfeit UGGs
