Zǒu Mǎ Kàn Huā @ Sydney & Brisbane - day 2
Day 2 at Sydney... we took the train to Circular Quay which is the hub of Sydney Harbour, the quay is a vibrant, bustling place with ferries leaving every few minutes to different parts of the harbour, including Manly.
On the southern side of Circular Quay is a walkway that leads to the Sydney Opera House and Royal Botanical Gardens; while on the northern side, a short walk along lovely landscaped walkways takes you to the Harbour Bridge and The Rocks.
Zǒu Mǎ Kàn Huā @ Sydney & Brisbane - day 1
Zǒu Mǎ Kàn Huā 走马看花 [to gain a superficial understanding through cursory observation; given only a
passing glance at things; giving a hurried and cursory glance]
I finally made up my mind to use up my accumulated Qantas Frequent Flyer points, after days of deliberations we decided to spend four nights in Sydney then hop over to Brisbane catching up with Boon and Jackie; the last time we stay with them in Brisbane was 8 years ago!
Somehow it seems a bit silly that even by using up my 72,000 points, each of us still have to fork out NZ$ 600.00 for the trip! "Severing" relationship with the flying kangaroos is not cheap ;)
So on the 22nd of March we were at the Wellington airport staring at Gollum chasing rainbow trouts :)
