We were all up bright and early! We left to get the ferry to Taronga Zoo! There were some beautiful views of Sydney city from the top of the hill that the zoo was on. The zoo was huge - it is broken into sections (Asia, Africa, Australia and Oceana) We saw lots of animals that we had not seen before! We had a Koala encounter getting to go into a private part and have photos taken with 2 koalas! The kangaroos were lovely - although Luke later ate some at the bbq! ...

After a completely sleepness flight we landed in Sydney. We went through a grilling immigration process where I felt upmost nervous having packed 3 tea bags from our hotel in Hong Kong and not declaring them. We were okay! We got a train to Circular Quay where we are staying. The trains are double deckers and thus a bit strange. Many people stopped and asked us if we were okay and if we needed help getting somewhere! Very friendly people or we looked extremely lo...

After the alarm sounded neither of us wanted to get up so we slept in till 11o clock again!

We set off to Big Wave Bay which is near to Shek O. We went about getting a bus - the first bus driver being outright rude to us more or less shooing us off of his bus! We got another bus after this! We pressed the button when we saw the mini roundabout like the book said to, and we got off - the bus dr...

After a needed nights sleep, we wanted to go and see the Giant Buddha on Lantau Island. We took the MTR to Tung Cgung and after having a subway for lunch, decided not to que for the glass bottom cable cars we took the number 23 bus to the Island. The bus journeys are very scarey - thrown all over the bus - with the clifss being literally half a meter away from where the road is! Luke in particular did not like these! The Giant Buddha was huge! It also had 350 ste...
