Beach, Bars and Breakfasts - Sydney, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ’•

My life be like ๐ŸŽผOoooh Ahhhh


After an unintended family concern to start off 2018, I went on a lovely, well needed holiday.

My partner, best friend n his lady, and I travelled interstate to Sydney for five days. We stayed at a funky hotel on Bondi Beach called QT Bondi and soaked up that east-coast sunny lifestyle.

Thursday


An early dusk espresso martini before boarding โœˆ๏ธ and before we knew, we were looking for a cab in Sydney. After dropping our luggage, we went to the city to have a look around, then headed to the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium.

We bought tickets online prior, which granted us express entry, and made it slightly cheaper. I made lots of new friends ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ ๐Ÿฆˆ




Friday


The following morning, we walked along the spectacular 3km coastal trail from
Bondi to Bronte. We were planning on venturing further but breathetaking views and selfies chewed our time, so we had to head back.


That evening, we got our bling and swagger on and headed on out to see the hip-hop legend Fiddy Cent. He was doing his Australian leg of his tour, to celebrate his 15 year anniversary of the Get Rich or Die Trying album. I've owned the 50cent album since back in the '03 and brought the CD case across with me ๐Ÿ˜Ž


Saturday


Hungover, exhausted and all crip-walked out, we caught the ferry at Circular Quay across the harbour to Taronga Zoo Here we also ordered our zoo + cable ride tickets prior to arrival, which made everything smoother.

I made some new friends here too๐Ÿฆ’๐Ÿฏ



That evening we ate at a really upbeat bar on Bondi called The Bucket List. Their food and drinks were exquisite. We then headed into the city to Marble Bar which was probably the best bar I've ever seen, with exceptional bar staff. After some tasty cocktails, we tracked through the rain to Ivy Nightclub, exhaustion and wetness battered our clubby vibe and we headed home to catch up on some Z's. ๐Ÿ˜ด

Sunday


Pushing though, we ventured for breakfast on a busy Sunday morning at Porch and Parlour I had amazing 'porched' eggs in their Hash n Mash breakfast.

There were also some swimming races going on. Congrats to all the people participating, especially the over 50's and 60's ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We were fueled and ready to experience the Museum of Contemporary Art Again, we ordered our tickets online which helped beat the busy lineups as we explored the highly anticipated Swiss works from Pipilotti Rist.

That night we ate dinner at the Bennelong Restaurant at the Sydney Opera House Exceptional service, small portions but still very filling. To top it off, for dessert, I had the iconic Opera House Pavlova. Or as I called it, the Pavl-Opera House ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿคค


Monday


On our final day, we soaked up the last of the beach life, body surfing the waves, hoping we didn't end up on Bondi Rescue ๐Ÿ˜‚

Overall, we had a lovely trip and it was great to get away. I did however miss the less hectic lifestyle at home. AND much less traffic ๐Ÿ˜ต

Goodnight from another great lunchin' at Milky Lane

Hey @dolladu

Thatโ€™s my old neck of the woods! I used to live at Coogee. The cliff walk is always amazing!

Hey @aghunter!! Amazing scenes all around.

I've visited quite a few times as a kid, but this is my first time as of legal age ๐Ÿ˜œ

Phew seems like a pretty full on but fun and exciting trip :D So having a holiday to recover from your holiday now?

Also good to hear from you again, I was getting worried XP
