Sydney day 4 - City adventure

Good morning Sydney!!! It's day 4. How time flies. Today we r on our own. William is working and Joshua Angeline are schooling. Syasya and Aril were so preoccupied with everything around the house and it's quite a challenge to actually get them to be ready. Finally we get to leave for the city at 11am (the original plan to leave at 9am!)

 

We took a train from Pennant Hills to Town Hall - A$6.8 return for an adult. Children should get cheaper but I can't remember exactly. We paid around A$20 for 2A and 1C tickets return. There are so many things u can do around Town Hall. We went first to see the Sydney tower, then walk to Darling Harbour. Several attractions lined up here at Darling Harbour - the Aquarium,  Wild Life, Madame Tussauds etc. And several options for the ticket entries. U can even do a mix and match.. i.e. buy 2, 3, or 4 entries at discounted price. Or just a single entry at A$38 (A) and A$22 (C).

Since we've got a BUY 1 FREE 1 coupon from Ai Ling, we bought entries to the aquarium.

Somehow, I really feels that it's not worth it to buy too many tickets if u r going with small kids. You wont have enough time to cover too many places in a day. Like us, we spent I think about 3 hours just at the aquarium!!

Next we went to the Harborside Shopping Center to get our Hard Rock Merchandises. Unfortunately they don't have shotglass. Aww.. but we still bought few stuff :) There are also souvenir shops on sale in the center. Tshirt are from $6 each. We bought few - in case we didn't have time for the Paddy Market.

Later we took a monorail back to Victoria, walk a bit to Town Hall station to take a train to Circular Quay. Monorail trip are always A$5/adult - to whichever station that you want.

When we arrived CQ its was already dark.  I was a bit frustrated but it's ok. I can come back later. From the station, I can still see a spectacular view of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House at night. It was magnificent. Subhanallah...

We went back to PH at about 930pm. Ends another great day. Alhamdulillah...
