Beautiful Sunday

Took advantage of beautiful weather and the last weekend before the daylight saving ending next Sunday, we decided to have a ferry ride to the city. We took 10 o'clock ferry and it was so packed. It wasn't surprise me because the weather was so lovely and the cheap ticket they offer every Sunday for the family. Family Funday Sunday, is $2.50 per person with under 4 years old is free with full paid adult, and that is included train, bus, ferry and some private bus as well. So for us, it cost $10.00, what a fantastic value.

The beautiful Sydney Opera House

Sydney Harbour Bridge


Fifty five minutes later, after all the excitement on board, we arrived at Circular Quay and walked around the area, where Sydney Opera House just a very short stroll away. I can't let the beautiful view of Sydney Harbour and Sydney Harbour Bridge pass without I capture it with my camera. So there I was, very busy took so much pictures while the boys were running around happily just being in the big city.

After walked around the opera house, we all felt so hungry. We took the bus to China Town, and had lunch at the food court there. We had three different dish. The boys shared nice noodle soup with some dumplings and meatballs, Steven ordered yummy chillie chicken with some vegetables served with rice, and I couldn't resist home-cooked style Indonesian food. Yummy....

Then we walked to Darling Harbour where the nice playground with sandpit is. Ari and Jamie just loved being there. They had so much fun digging and play in the sand. We were there for nearly two hours. It was so relaxing when the boys played nicely together.

Before we took the ferry back home, we bought ourselves nice ice cream. It was a nice thing to finish the beautiful Sunday.

Choo....Choo......

Every first Sunday of the month, at Glenbrook, about 70 kilometres west of Sydney there is a mini train ride. It has a picnic and barbeque area and very popular for the birthday party. A ride goes for three laps through the tunnel, bridge and pedestrian crossing. It's really good for the kids and the adults.

Today, we went there with some friends and had so much fun. Here are some pictures from today outing.







This is a short clip the train was coming out from the tunnel.

How Was Your Weekend?

Ours was great. On Saturday, we didn't do too much, but on Sunday we had a great day. After a few choices of where to go for a picnic, we decided to do a beach picnic. We went to La Perouse, a beautiful beach located south of Sydney. It is very popular beach, even just to find a parking spot, we had to go around the block a few times. We finally got one, not too far too walk to the main beach.

Ari and Jamie went straight away and hit the water, while Steven and I set up our beach tent. It didn't take us too long to sit in comfort. From a distance, I saw Jamie trying to stand on his body board, as if he was a professional surfer. So cute.


Not long after, Ari came back to see us asking for lunch. We had sausage sandwiches, sausage rolls and some cocktail frankfurts. I also packed some carrot and cucumber sticks and some nectarines. For desert, we went to the local shop to get some ice cream. It seems that the beach day always goes nicely with some ice cream.


Then we walked to the other side, and we saw this snake show. I heard that this guy has been doing this show for years. He is basically telling about all different snakes and reptiles, how venomous they are, how to avoid them and how to recognise the snake if you are bitten. Its useful to know to inform the hospital to get the right anti-venom. We didn't stay there too long as my two boys started to loose their interest as they couldn't see the show. It was very crowded.



We continued our walk a little further, just to find another beautiful part of the sea. The crystal clear water looks so lovely. No wonder so many snorkelers and divers were there. We walked trough the very stunning rock formation and across the bridge. I just loved to see those rock and sand formation. Its gorgeous.

Thanks for visiting guys. I hope you had a great weekend as much as we did.
