"discovery consists not in seeking new lands but in seeing with new eyes"
Been on a lucky streak (pray it does not run out soon!) as I won a feature in Dominic's Sydney Travel Episode, co-sponsored by Scoot and Destination NSW! WOOHOO!!!
Yes, I have visited Sydney, just last year in fact, but who can resist a feature in a marketing campaign, free flights and accommodation at Travelodge Wynyard?!?! Thank you Huiying for making all the arrangements! Really sweet when you called up the hotel just to ensure all's good! :D

Took the red-eye flight out to Sydney, and fortunately had a free and easy day upon arrival! Had a late lunch date with my cousin Rachel at Pancakes On The Rocks (4 Hickson Rd, The Rocks NSW 2000)
the lil cousin
checking out The Rocks Foodie Market, held every Friday 10am to 4pm
Rach had to go back home and finish studying for her quiz (hope you ace it!). So I decided to visit Luna Park(few minutes walk from Milsons Point Station, AUD3.80 for the metro station from Wynyard Station) and clear it off my to-visit places.
Ta-da! The famous face of Luna Park!
the circle of life - let it shine bright with colors...
shine bright like a diamond!
hmmmmm....
but first, let's take a selfie! LOL
in need of lovers to ride this merry-go-round!
Dined at this little cafe near the station and I have obviously over-ordered... Sighhh aussie food portion never fails to surprise me (though really worth the money because half's dinner and half's supper! haha)
seafood platter supposedly for one
too full and need a walk?
well, i walked the entire Harbor Bridge from Milsons Point back to Wynyard in the rain
