Firstly I want to thank all that made this happen. Brent from Tourism Australia, Brent from Ripplevox, Chris from Quiksilver and all the staff at Quiksilver at Marina Square for being so helpful by helping tochoose the clothes for the trip. Thanks guys.
First day at the Changi Airport, after checking-in our bags we headed down to the gate to board the flight. It was a 9 hour journey. After reaching Sydney Airport, we quickly went to the Information counter for direction to Manly. She adviced us to take the Manly shuttle, so we did. After a 30 minutes journey we reach our hotel. It was a nice hotel, facing the beach. At 11 am, we decided to have our lunch and walk around, trying to understand the place. Then we manage to get to the Manly Wharf that will bring us to town, that's Circular Quay.
We manage to find our way till we found Central, Chinatown. Then my mum saw the Paddy Market, so we went in and shop our hearts out. After a long day shopping we when back to the hotel and eat our dinner.
Second day, we went to Sydney Aquarium and Wildlife at Darling Habour. It was pretty interesting to see all the animals. I love it. after Wildlife and Aquarium, we went to Queen Victoria Building, because my mum wanted to go there. After our trip to QVB, we went straight to Sydney Tower to do the Sydney Tower and OZTrek, i really like the OZTrek. It tells me more about Sydney lifestyle. But i really thought that i will be doing the Skywalk but it's okay. After Sydney Tower, we headed home as usaul, took a bus to Circula Quy and then took a ferry back to Manly.
Day 3, we went to Blue Mountion, it was a dream come true to when there as me and my famil wanted to go there so badly. But the the our journey to Blue Mountion was really long as it took us 2 hours. But we don't mind at all. We took alot of pictures and do alot of stuff there like, the cable car and many more. We really exprience a free and easy journey from Manly to Katoomba, where we stop to take a bus to blue Mountion. It took us the whole day to do the Blue Mountion. After that we when home.
Day 4, one in a life time surf with Tom Carroll. I won't forget this day. It was our surfing day, me and Kristel we together doing the surf with Tom Carroll. We when to the Manly Surf School where we will be having our lesson with Tom Carroll. It was really good, althought it was raining, but who cares. Our surf instructer was Jimmy, very friendly, funny guy. Willing to teach us the basic of surfing. We learnt alot from him. And also all the people at Manly Surf School was nice too. Too bad did not get to take pictures with him, but it's alright, at least we see him face to face. After surfing, when back to our hotel and rest for the next day.
Day 5, me and cousin decided to do another lesson on surfing, it was not enough for us. I think i'm addicted to surfing already. After surfing we rush back to our hotel because we wanted to do the OZ Jet. It was really fun. That's what i call fun and wet. Then we headed down to the Bridge Climb, the climb of your life, i won't forget this climb. A very good experience, nice people there too. But all of the staff knows that me and Kristel are the Faux Pro winner from Singapore. I was shocked that alot of people know us. But it's alright, it's really a climb of you life as it took us 3 hours to finish it. Took alot of pictures, and gues what, all the pictures we took are for free. It's in a CD and also they print it out for us. Isn't that great. Adter the climb we head back home because the next day me and family will be headed back home.
Day 6, before heading back to Singapore, i did some last minute shopping at Quiksilver Manly. I made alot of friends there. I was having some trouble choosing which one to pick and buy. But in the end i mange to get the stuff that i want. The shop was really big. I was amaze by it.
Even it's a short trip to Sydney, i really love it. Won't be forgetting this trip for a long time.
And that's it on my short report on my trip to Sydney, and i would like to thank all the people who made it happen, Brent from Tourism Australia, Brent from Ripplevox, Chris from Quiksilver and the staff from Quiksilver Marina Square. To all the sponsers big thanks from me. Hope to write for you guys again. Till here, Bye.
