Touring Around Sydney

Well, well, well... Although I have been living in Sydney for almost a year, I had not been in the Chinese Gardens. They are just in the middle of the city!




Today I woke up and got ready for going to these gardens. We met in the Gumal foyer as usual. This time we went Silvia, Koldo, Asun, Uri and I. We went walking towards Darling Harbour and arrived there. We payed our $3 dls fee and started to walk inside. We saw bonsais, many trees, cascades, pagodas and other stuff that was just inside Sydney. It was like if we had gone far from it because it looked so peaceful.




Anyway, we took many pictures. One of them was in a Hobbiton-like hole. We also saw that if you wanted to dress up as a Chinese then you could pay $10 and walk in the gardens with it. We decided not to do so and kept walking. After seeing so many ducks and fish we felt a bit hungry. Then we went to City Market shopping centre and had some Asian food and dessert (coconut ice-cream).



We followed our schedule and went to the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour. We found many interesting things like a sailing boat made of beer cans, or a boat in which an Australian spent 6 months traveling around the world. After the tour and chat on the boat we went outside and met Dani. We went to Paddy's Market and bought more souvenirs. This was the last time I could go there, so I took the opportunity. I didn't buy that much though. Now, we are meeting in Quique's flat. However, I have to go to sleep early because tomorrow will be a special day. Early morning in the Fish Market, tour around the city, and the Christmas Eve Dinner, yes it is correct!
