Back home last 19th of March. Good thing I decided to rebook to an earlier flight even if it was a notice of less than a day. Due to COVID 19, a lot of flights are being cancelled and as of this moment, the whole of Australia is on lockdown. My original flight back home was cancelled already, and I wouldn’t have known what to do if I were still there. The world is really stopping and it is hard for me to take all of these in. It’s like I can’t believe that something like this is really happening for real. I hope everything gets better soon. May the kindness and unity of mankind prevail so we can all fight the virus and return to our original state, or better.

2nd half of the day:

Visited the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney before taking the ride to Manly Beach. And yes, a lot of walking! So by the time we reached Manly Beach, we were already very tired!

But we still kept going haha after taking a few breaks. I’m really thankful to Elaine for being so supportive of my wanderlust.

First half of the day:

Went to Cockatoo Island via ferry from Circular Quay and was able to get a different view of the Opera House during the day. It was awesome! This tip of getting a view of the Opera House from the ferry was recommended by my colleague and he was right! Such a nice view.

We could have enjoyed and explored more of Cockatoo Island if it wasn’t for the rain but nevertheless, Elaine and I had fun looking around the place.

Then we took the ferry back to the city. Walked From Darling Harbour to the meeting place with Jason and Narish. Yay! We booked a table using The Fork app and it was a really really good move! The steak was of high quality and we had it for a discount because of the booking! Yaaay!

First day of exploring sydney and we’ve already covered a lot even if we only started touring past 5pm! We went to Bondi Beach even though Elaine and I are already planning to go there on Sunday for the sake of Frank and Josh.

Then we had dinner at Chat Thai, which was really good! I enjoyed the food there and it was really nice talking to friends :)

After that we went to Luna Park to get a good view of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It’s good to see it at night! After taking a lot of photos Elaine suggested that we cross the Harbour Bridge! Nobody objected because why not? It will be a good experience for sure!

If only I had known that there is a beautiful spot like this behind my apartment, I would have gone sooner. I love it so much! The setup of the picnic mats and bean bags were so cool. It is so nice to sit there and just relax while the sun goes down. I really loved it.

Attended a Barre Class in the morning, had lunch and when I’ve had enough rest after the intense workout, I rode the free ferry to South Bank Parklands. I’ve been here last Australia Day to watch the fireworks but I really didn’t have the time to appreciate everything.

I’m so glad I came back. It was so fun watching the people enjoy the view and the surroundings. Other families are having a picnic, getting some sun, having a barbecue from the free barbecue facilities. It was awesome and I loved it!

Plus, I had a dessert at Cowch and it was the bomb!

3rd weekend in Brisbane:

02/08/2020: Went to James Street Shopping Center and New Farm Park in the morning. I can only imagine living here and having picnic in New Farm Park on weekends! My gosh it is so good and relaxing! I actually bought lunch (Avo Toast with Oat Milk Cold Brew) from Jan Powers Farmers Market and ate at one of the picnic tables in New Farm Park. I have the river as my view and the weather was really nice too. It is just so nice. Then I walked to Coles New Farm to pickup the tim tams that I order online (they were on sale!). I brought those back to the apartment and went straight to Chermside Shopping Center. You know what’s next..
