Sunday 30th Dec We were finding it impossible to get up in good time, no thanks to very thick curtains in our room as well as having a wall for our views, it got us confused by thinking that it was still dark! As we got up late, we thought to speed ourselves quickly and went to the supermarket to do bit of more food shopping for our preparation for the new year eve celebrations. We were told that in the area where we will be viewing, there aren't any shops or ca...

Saturday 29th Dec As Lisa felt better, We managed to get up at decent time but we were being lazy as we didn't leave the hostel in good time, missing the morning again! We arrived at the mall at lunchtime and there were so many shops to look around. It took us at least a couple of hours to get to see all the shops.

We didn't have to worry about the transports or where to view the f...

Wednesday 26th Dec As it was Boxing Day, we did think to visit Sydney Harbour for the famous boat race that they do annually. Unfortunately we got up too late like 11am or so, we couldn't be bothered to rush to get to Sydney for the 1pm start. We went on the internet for a short while to book ourselves into hostel in the city of Sydney for a night so we don't have to worry about rushing to the airport for our flight to Cairns. As our flight isn't till Jan 4th,...
