SYDNEY: DAY 1 - Getting anywhere from the airport


Have you ever done these things (pre travel) or whenever you travel to certain city you wanted to visit all the place and you start to buy map in your local bookstore and put a star mark onto it? Well since sekarang teknologi dah moden, tak payah nak pegi beli peta dunia lagi (Although i still prefer a paper map the one that i can held and bring around hahaahah) today i'm gonna share a little bit of my experience and especially the self-guide walking tour around Sydney (so that you not missing anything!).

Here is the map link: Sydney: Self-Guided Map


Once we arrive at Sydney Airport, we immediately purchase local simcard (vodafone simcard) and also OPAL CARD (macam Rapidpass - basically card ni untuk semua jenis public transporation yang wujud dekat Sydney ni).

 Since we stay quite far from the city centre (we stayed in Parramatta - about 20-30 minutes away) we need to take the local train from Airport (T2 Line) to Central Station and interchange train to Parramatta (T1-West Line).

I'm a little bit jakun here, or we Sabahan said 'Sakai' as i never see a double decker train before!

Check-in time! Oh yes, I stay in Mantra Parramatta (Please check the special dedicated post here: Mantra Parramatta - Our accommodation in Sydney )

My sister, she sleep in this room

Bathroom fully equipped

They even got washing machine

and im in the living room. yay.

Mini kitchen, they do allowed light cooking. 

For those who travelling with family and kids, it is highly recommend, peaceful neighorhood, apartment style accommodation, just 5-10 minutes walking distance from the train station. Next door is a shopping mall.

And..and..and to my surprised they have Paparich here! Everytime we passed by it is always full off people. (Sorry no photo taken).

After checking-in we do some unpacking and decided to grab some lunch at the hotel cafe. The food portion is huge! (and expensive, if you converting into Ringgit).

I ordered Fish and Chips (ala2 mat salleh kan) hahahaha.

By the time we finish lunch it is already around 3pm something so we decided to go to Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The story continues on the next posting.
