The iconic Sydney's Harbour Bridge and Opera House!
I really want to climb the harbour bridge but the girls are against the idea so yup, plan abolished. Dine at the Opera Bar instead and everything was good x'cept the attack of the seagulls.

DAY TWO
Three Sisters / Jenolan Caves / Sushi Hub

We were unlucky because weather condition that day was so bad that visibility is near zero. Really can't see a single shit though the three sisters are just supposed to be in front of us. And best part, we paid a whooping sgd200 for the trip up!


& this is what we are supposed to see! Stole this picture from my Korean friend who went to Blue Mountains a day after us. Like seriously?! Really not fated to see this :'(


Was told to grab a quick lunch and toilet break before we head off to explore the Jenolan Cave!

It was truly an amazing experience in the cave! The hike / trek was about 1.5 hr and yup, you probably wont get any good pictures in there but please do pay a visit if possible. It's like you have to be there to experience the wonders of nature.

After getting back to Sydney Central, we settled for a random sushi place for dinner (really craving for asian food) and i guess that pretty much sums up our day two of the trip!
