Australia (New South Wales) – Sydney

It so happened that Sydney is having their annual Vivid Sydney event while I was travelling there. This event was organised yearly to welcome the winter (usually held between May to June) when Vivid Sydney shines and warm up the city with vibrant lights, music and ideas. Take your time to get yourself mesmerized in the animated lights along the buildings from the Sydney Bridge to the Opera House at Circular Quay. You can also catch the weekend fireworks from Darling Harbour which happens on every Saturday at 8.30pm.

Night shot of the Sydney Bridge is pretty too

How one can miss the iconic Opera House and Sydney Bridge when travelling at Sydney?

You can take a ferry either from Circular Quay to Harbourside in Darling Harbour or Circular Quay to Manly, on your way you can take great shots of both Opera House and Sydney Bridge.

One shot is simply just not enough

Coastal walks anyone? I love majestic coastal cliffs. You can do a picturesque coastal walk in Sydney starting from the Watson Bay to Bondi Beach and if you have the stamina, continue to walk from Bondi Beach followed by Coogee Beach.

I started off my day early with a sumptuous breakfast at Circular Quay before taking ferry to Watson Bay. Followed by having lunch at Watson Bay’s fish and chips from Doyles Fisherman Wharf Cafe Bar; highly recommended! Time to burn off some fats and coastal walk here I come!

The BIG breakfast, yummy!

This marks my last entry for my solo trip to Australia. 
Hope you have enjoyed reading my entries on my solo trip to Australia as much as I had enjoying this solo trip. This is my first solo trip but definitely not my last. I have learnt more about myself than I could ever imagined and lessons that you can't get out of a book.
