Sydney Australia
Sydney is
the capital state of New South Wales and considered as the most
populous city in Australia.
It is composed of suburbs and
includes the Central Business district where major tourist sites can be found.
This is the main base for travelers exploring NSW and other cities.
Residents are
often called “Sydneysiders” and a number of the workforce are based here with a
better quality of life. Years back they would always say that it’s too crowded,
but I think it isn’t too much. The populace you meet is enough to make you feel
at home and delighted.
The country has managed to keep its tranquility, blending nature,
infrastructure, and history to describe its true exquisiteness. Moreover,
it offers various options for leisure and fun activities may it be into sports
and water and land adventures, music, arts, and culture; with delectable
healthy food choices.
You can
definitely, call it your ideal and perfect vacation getaway with beautiful
sceneries surrounding this vast land of Oceania .
Aussies have long been known to live a laid back kind of life, and they are outspoken and cordial, which is a unique trait for certain people. This is ideally perceived that there’s still a lot of kind people to meet in this gorgeous destination.

Our trip this year 2017 is purposely to travel around Sydney coming from an invitation of a relative. The planning had been made easier since everything was all set for our daily schedule and activities to partake, including a private car for our means of transportation, with the exception of our CBD and Harbour Tour.
Upon arrival I reminisce at the thought back then that it was too impossible to be here, then I smiled realizing I have finally arrived in OZ unexpectedly. And we genuinely love this country, the magnificent Land down under.

As we visited the Central area we decided to book a night in Swissotel, a treat from my cousin who is spending her birthday. The location is really close around 10-20 minutes walk from the Harbour side.
It was a perfect day to accomplish a walking tour and we concluded the night joining the “Vivid Cruise” which is an engaging option for travelers seeking a 360 perspective of the creative lighting installations in the city. You will start by the Cockle Bay Wharf (the waterfront entertainment side)
