Along the streets when I found a park of the same name as me!!!
Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Entrance (I took a photo at exactly the same spot 8 years ago)
Mount Tamborine: mini trekking to the Curtin Falls, Winery
Habour Town Shopping where I bought beads & dinner at Fasta Pasta
Byron Bay
Went to explore the place while travelling from Surfers Paradise to Sydney
I like the beach!!! The strong winds!!! The rocks!!!
Oh my gosh, the kebabs there also very yummy... highly reccomended!!!-->Bay Kebabs
Sydney
Before reaching Sydney, we had dinner at KFC!!! I was super elated to see an outlet and took a quick snap there. KFC tastes better in Australia...
It had been a long long car drive to Sydney... took us around 14 hours to reach there. Initially very excited about getting to Sydney but we were slightly disappointed when we finally got to the hostel. 2am, so late man, and more than 50% of everyone hanging around are drunk. People going to clubs and pubs. The scene was so complicated and shocking to me. I saw men touching women's body like nobody's business, made me wonder if these women are prost***. I didn't even feel safe when we were already in the hostel, Maze Backpackers Hostel.
I remembered my body shivering while getting to the ladies for the first time, even had ZQ to wait for me outside the toilet. I was such a timid person!
Day time in Sydney was quite okay!!!
