Destination : Sydney - Day 5

After a hectic week last week... lets continue on to Day 5. Day 5 kicked off with a better looking day. Partially cloudy skies but it looks promising. Temperature was at an average of 16 degrees.

Woke up to my cousin's Weimaraner grinning at me.

Unfortunately, they were renovating the cathedral in preperation for the Pope's visit while we were there. Couldn't get a 'clean' shot of the exterior. Seems that it has been under construction for so long... Then I found out why...

After a good 2 hours in that place, we headed down towards Woolloomooloo (I didn't make that name up).....and... ..we got lost..

After a few tries.. we found it!

The famous 'Harry's Cafe de Wheels'. Their dogs and pie's are really good.

Later in the evening, I told myself that I needed to go to Milson's Point for 1 critical 'mission' that could make my entire trip worth it.

Darling Harbour at night.

Waited 1 hour in the cold for the ferry, traveled 15 minutes to Milson's point, by the time I got there, My fingers were practically numb... Spent a good 40mins outdoor in the cold (it wasn't funny anymore after 10 minutes).. But boy it was worth it.

Took another freezing ride back to Darling harbour

Jewels in the night.

It was a crazy idea.. going blindly without any directions and risk getting stranded in the cold... but I would do it again when I'm there next time. It's just too good to miss.



Enjoy =)
