Australia Major Cities: Sydney (part 3)

Image
Last city, Sydney Time flies so fast especially when we actually enjoy our holiday time. As a lot of people wrote travel guide better than me, I would want to share my short itinerary, at least for myself in case in I forget in the future. Touched down at Sydney Airport, queued for taxi to go to downtown and checked in to hotel. I recommend you to stay nearby downtown so it’s pretty easy to visit tourist attractions with walking. After checked-in in the afternoon, I walked out to Darling Harbour to see the view at night. It was a beautiful night view about the landscape full of bright buildings.   The next day, we went to Sydney Opera House, by passing some places and architecture buildings: Hyde park, St. Mary Cathedral, Public Library, Mrs Macquarie's Chair. Estimate time to walk around these places are around 30 minutes. We went to Luna Park in the afternoon to see what's there, just because we could not see Luna Park inside Melbourne. To visit this area is free,...

Image
Previously from Melbourne , I flew to Gold Coast in the morning and reached there in the afternoon because I got the non-direct flight (I booked it just 1 week before, you should book it earlier if you have planned everything). You will get complimentary drink and mini snack. They also sell snacks if you still want more. Touched down Gold Coast Airport~ I had been waiting for the baggage~ Waiting~ waiting~ and waiting~ but 1 of them had  kidnapped  never come. I needed to queue for baggage claim (I took Virgin Airlines). Just told the staff that my baggage was maybe left out somewhere. She said hold on and there was another staff bringing a lot of luggages. She checked and mine was there. She told me that my luggage couldn't miss the flight so it had reached earlier with different flight. Hahahaha. She knew how to joke. Thank you! Got everything~ I took brochures and flyers about Gold Coast. The next thing was I chose Uber to go to my hotel. I suggest if you tra...

Australia Major Cities: Melbourne (Part 1)

I'm back back back after a long time, quite busy with my schedule and "traveling" (HAHA!) I have been traveling to several cities, but I've never had a chance to share it here. Then my best friend asked me about how my trip was and she asked me to tell the whole story.  Suddenly, I realized why not I return back to blog and share it. My trip this time was in PEAK season in my country. It's called "Hari Raya" holiday and everything related to travel overseas could be categorized as expensive or above the normal rate. I won't share you about budget but would share you about the journey~ the trip~ the itinerary~ the situation~ My laziness~ Around the city, even though I had limited time~ What you need to prepare (as Indonesian), before you go to Kangaroo/cute Koala/ too many Garden country, Australia. First, of course you need a visa!Don't forget to make a tourist visa before you travel or buy the ticket. The process won't ta...
