Around AU in 58 Days: Three Sisters,Katoomba

 

      Just a few minutes from Sydney is Katoomba Blue Mountains. You could go there Via Car , Via train and go down to katoomba there there will be Bus tours that will take you around Blue Mountains. Three Sisters is the famous icon of Katoomba. According to the Aboriginal Legend The Tree Sisters were three beautiful ladies of the local aboriginal tribe that fell in love w/ men from the enemy. They were Forbidden to get married and sentenced to get killed but then an elder tried to protect them and then turned them into stone. Unfortunately the elder got killed and no one could turn them back.

      At the Lookout you could see the guide if the different forms you will see. My Uncle told me I was lucky to be able to see clouds at the view because that rarely happens. It was freezing up there because we were right above the clouds already. But from the look out you could take a trek down and get close to the three sisters via the Giant Stairway.

      When you reach the giant stairway you could go down and chill under the rock of the Three Sisters. It was kinda creepy because the stairs was steep and it was freezing since the stairway is levelling the clouds. It would be a little scary to look down because the all you see is a cliff. but so far everything is worth it! Definitely one for the books. I would recommend you not to miss this if ever you are coming to visit sydney. Save your day to take a tour at the blue mountains.

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Athletic Feel at Sydney's Olympic Village

                 The Sydney Olympic park / Village hosted the Sydney 2000 Olympics. The area was really huge and you have to well drive around if your lazy because if youre gonna walk around it im sure its gonna burn loads of calories already:)) The highlight of my visit was the ANZ Stadium. Its where the big games happen

To walk around outside the arena is pretty tiring already. Also outside the arena are  i think names of the players who played during the games? im not really sure because i was just taking photos w/it, Typical Tourist.

               My Favorite spot in the Olympic Park is the Aquatic Center. Being a swimmer my self i find it amazing to be stepping on the same floor with the world's best male & Female swimmers. I was reading their wall of Fame corner and there are still loads of multi awarded swimmers i dont know.

                      Its really a big place and they have different sections for training. They have kiddie pools. Lap Pools , They also have Sprint Pools with Corresponding lane for every stroke you wanna swim and they also have a cool down lane labeled:) How organized right? On my next visit! Im sure ill try swimming there but definitely not on a winter day:)) They even have a number of Huge Pace clocks from speedo!

 Imma swim a lap of a hundred meters here when i get back! Like a pro!

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Japanese Garden

                     My Uncle & Auntie made me experience that typical picnic they have in sydney.After buying Huge Kebabs from Auntie's favorite store we went to this zen garden to chill out and enjoy our food. It was winter season so the flowers in the garden aren't in full bloom. Still it is already starting here are some shots of the lovely flowers around the garden

                      Lovely right?:) Its so relaxing to just look at it especially to my mom who is a big fan of flowers roses and all sorts of plants actually. The Next time we had to go there spring season so we would see the tulips in full bloom. Aside from flowers everywhere still starting to bloom, I also like the japanese zen ambiance in the garden. From Brick walls to man made lakes where you would see ducks and swans around.and even a Peacock! Yes! It is normal for a Peacock to be running loose outside around the garden! It isnt caged like what we have in zoos.

I was Lucky to get as close to the Peacock w/o scaring him or having him mad at me. I was lucky to get close to the ducks too but my auntie said i almost got them mad:) whoops i didnt know ducks bite so i had to stand up from where i was looking at them before they bite me:) It was indeed a nice picnic experience. one for the books because i never would experience this in the philippines.

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Sydney Opera House

                An Architectural Wonder, Sydney Opera House. A famous attraction in Sydney, you havent been to sydney if you havent been in the Opera House. The Opera House Opens only in certain days. I was lucky to be able to take a tour inside and know its story.

                 The Opera House was designed by Mr, Utzon. His proposed design of the opera house won among many other hopefuls who joined the contest. Before everything happened there were struggles in implementing and constructing this type of design. This type of design was hard to build.... to keep the long story short it took years before the opera house became possible and sad to say its architect Mr. Utzon died without seeing his Masterpiece.

 

                  Down the red carpet of the Sydney Opera House. Not even as an artist but it feels so nice to be walking in the same floor that wonderful TV & Theater actresses walk in when they perform in this Opera House.

                  In this photo behind me is a painting made by Mr. Utzon himself. If you would look closer to the picture you would see his signature painted on it. This painting is in the Utzon Room, Dedicated to the architect of the opera house. But only his son was able to take a step in this room.

                    I am amazed how this part of the room looks like.Its like a part of the Skeleton of this building.I dont know how to explain its just nice.

                   Across the Sydney Opera House you will see the Sydney Harbour Bridge.A wonderful spot where you can chill out and watch the sunset. You could also actually climb the harbour bridge but it would be costly and it would take guts to climb it. Someday i will go back and try climbing that bridge. Im sure its gonna be one for the books. For now i would be inspired with the story of the Opera House. A masterpiece. For the love of the arts.

WHAT I WORE:

 

Black Long Sleeves, Orange Vest (Forever 21), Belt ( valley Girl AU), Boots ( Williams Au), Shades:( RayBan), Hat ( Dotti)

 

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Hyde Park,Sydney

Hyde Park is one of the Biggest Park in Sydney CBD.Since we were on a walking tour of the CBD we just took photos around every beautiful spot around the park.

        It was still the winter season but the flowers were already ready for spring. Weather is soon to change and some of the flowers are already blooming. I wonder how pretty it is when its in spring time already because if on winter its already pretty what more on spring season? Across Hyde park is St. Mary's Cathedral.

St. Mary's Cathedral is such a beatiful church. They are not allowing taking photos inside the church so we just took a few from the outside. The gothic architecture. Statues around it. The inside lighted by the sunlight coming in through the reflection of the stained glass. Oh so breath taking. Its just beautiful.Definitely something to visit when you get to sydney.

XOXO
