Hmm I'm rather lazy to list it all down. Heh sis has already done so. Perhaps for a better account could refer to their blogs or sth. A shorter version of my hols :p
Day1 (22/12)
Felt really excited to be going for hols, felt so happy :) The taxi came and picked us up in the evening and off to the airport we went. Our flight was at 9pm. 7 hours!! gosh... didn't really like the idea of being stuck in the plane for so long. However, the inflight entertainment was rather nice. We could watch movies, play games so it wasn't so bad afterall.
Day2 (23/12)
Reached Aus at approx 7am and headed to Meriton service apartments to freshen up. Then we walked to Sydney Fish Market for breakfast. There were so much seafood!! Huge lobsters and tons of fish!!! YUM! After that, we sorta just walked around Darling Harbour for a bit and then went to Paddymarkets to do some shopping and headed back to the room for a short rest before going to Golden Century for dinner.
Day3 (24/12)
Went to Darling Harbour for breakfast before going to the Sydney Aquarium. There was a rock pool there and we could touched the creatures placed in there. Hmm the starfish felt rather hard, thought it would be soft n slimy. Took a ferry to The Rocks area and visited Sydney Opera House. After that, sis and I went to climb the Sydney Bridge. I was rather scared when climbing up the stairs, they were rather steep. Bump my knees on the steps a few times. Ow...
Mum and dad waited for us and then we had dinner at Pancakes On The Rocks before heading back. Hmm the food was delicious.
Day4 (25/12)
Mum had a few friends in Aus so we visited them today. We had a nice lunch in Auntie Lindell's house. For the first time we had crackers and I was rather afraid when pulling them open. Hehe.. I got a small keychain :) It was a great afternoon. After that we took the train to another of my mum's friend's house for dinner. Stayed there till quite late; about 12am (I think). They were so kind to send us back after that.
Day5 (26/12)
Walked around town for a bit but most of the shops were closed so in the end we went to Paddymarkets again. The stores above were open so we did a little shopping :) After that, we packed our bags and headed to the airport in the evening. Off to Brisbane we went.
We reached Brisbane rather late at night; 11sth. Dad rented a car and we drove to Santana resort. It was rather difficult to get there and we got lost a few times. Thankfully we managed to find our way eventually.
Day6 (27/12)
We were all rather tired and undecisive as to what to do. Went to Pacific Fair for breakfast in the morning and to Harbour Town for some shopping. Went to Surfers Paradise in the evening. It was so windy!!
Day7 (28/12)
Yay!! Went to Seaworld. Watched a few animal shows and saw dolphins, penguins, seals, polar bears, dugong... There were rides there too but I wasn't into sitting them so I went shopping whilst sis sat them. We went to the Waterpark after that. Hmm didn't know why I wanted to sit the flume ride. Once I reached the top I was scared. Hehe... Oh well, it was fun and ended up sitting it four times :p
Day8 (29/12)
I wasn't too hype about going to Movieworld as I don't sit the rides. Too scary for me. Sis went on almost all the rides. I took pics for them. Watching them made me worry, so scarryyy!! Hehe.. mum and dad went on a few too. Oh, there was this 4D-Shrek thingy there and it was so FUN! There were parts where water was squirt at you, jets of air let out at your feet... :) FUn!
Day9 (30/12)
Woke up super early in the morning as we had to travel very far to a jetty. It took us about 2hours (if I'm not wrong) to reach. We went for a dolphin watch cruise thingy. We saw a dugong, sea turtles, dolphins in the wild. It was fun to try spotting them out in the wide sea, scanning here and there. We had lunch and did a little fishing where cheese were use as bait. I had a go at it and managed to catch a fish :) We put it back in the sea after that of course. I'm not that evil :p Stopped by the beach for about 40minutes before the snorkelling session began. The water was so cold! We had to take a huge step into the water. Felt so scared. I was only in the water for a while and decided to get up. When I just got out, a sea turtle emerged right behind me. Haha.. some people said it was my escort :p
Day10 (31/12)
New year's eve. Visited Currumbin Wild Life Sanctuary. The place was cool and nice, surrounded by trees so the heat wasn't that bad. Saw koalas, kangaroos, echidnas there. Had a chance to hold a python too!! It was great fun! :)
Went to a Thai restaurant for dinner. The atmosphere there was great. They even gave out party hats, confetti and stuff. It was packed, so many people were there compared to the other restaurants. We went to Broadbeach after that and sat waiting for the countdown. It was peaceful and there weren't many people at first. As the new year approached, there were fireworks from both sides. We sat there enjoying the fireworks. The one on the left ended first though. It was spectacular.
Happy New Year! :)
Day11 (1/12)
We went to Carrara Markets and did some souvenier shopping. After that we went to Brisbane city. For the first time, I went into a Casino!! Hehe.. mum brought me in. Some people kept looking at me. Mum said perhaps they were wondering why someone my age is in there. Hehe... :p
A number of shops were closed and we just mainly went sight seeing. We set off to the airport a little earlier as we weren't sure of the way. Hmm ended up reaching so early, roughly 170minutes before check in time. Spend a rather large amount of time at the airport. 2350 we set off for home.
Quite happy to be back home. Not looking forward to coll starting though. Hehe.. love hols so much. :)
Happy new year!!
