We said goodbye to Sydney this morning and hello again to Brisbane. We are staying at the same hotel so it almost feels like home since we’re quite familiar with everything here.
While we were in Sydney, my companion said that this would be one country he could see us live in. It’s hypothetical, of course. But it makes me wonder if he has ever thought about moving and living in a different city..
We will never know, but yesterday’s missing the cruise might have been the best thing ever happened. Even though we had to pay extra for rebooking, today’s sunset sightseeing cruise felt like a perfect conclusion to our journey in Sydney.
Good Night, Sydney. It’s been a wonderful experience exceeding expectations. It’s a long, tiring journey to get here. Will we ever come back here? I won’t close that door just yet..
Spending time leisurely in Brisbane and now Sydney has somewhat disoriented me. The amount of Asian population, to me anyway, is surprisingly high. That’s one thing I did not anticipate before I arrived in Australia. Casually walking on the street, the languages I heard and recognized include English, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean. The faces that I came across were also giving me the illusion that I was somewhere in Asia. What a world we live in!
The celebration continues. My companion booked in advance for a special dinner on the Sydney Tower. The whole floor spins continuously and slowly that you barely notice it. Needless to say the view of the cityscape was amazing..
On a side note, I have to admit that the images captured with my iPhone 16 Pro were far more impressive and hassle-free than the one I posted here..
We still try to maintain our Sunday routine even when we are traveling. After our morning run and walk, we took it easy for the rest of the day and only went out for Lunch plus quick shopping. Inside the Kinokuniya Bookstore in walking distance from our hotel, there’s a tiny coffee shop. I ordered a matcha latte and had to capture it when it was brought to me. It’s one of the most elaborate creations I’ve ever seen.
Wherever you go, take me there with you. That’s all I ask of you..
I had to cut my birthday run short this morning because it started to rain again when I was approaching 3 miles. It’s been like a tradition for me now that I’d run 5K on my birthday. I know I shouldn’t feel that way but it kind of bothered me that I couldn’t finish my run.
It’s the first morning since we arrived in Sydney. The sun had been teasing us the whole day. It rained on and off the major half of the day. I suppose because of that, we also witnessed multiple rainbows through out. I think I’ll take that as an auspicious sign for my birthday.
Today we traveled from Brisbane to Sydney. The bird’s eye view of the city was spectacular.. We’re looking forward to exploring this destination, which has been on our bucket list for a while.
