So as promised, I am seriously going to post a proper post after so long. Tee hee. Oh before that, let me warn you massive loads of pictures below on the road trip to Canberra. We're all quite hype up about the idea of driving over here is Aust. After all it's everyone's first time driving here, plus it's been 7 whole bloody months since we all drove. It's really funny because we have to good drvers who follows the law here, unlike in Malaysia, like you can't go way beyond your speed limit (note to us: summons are in aussie dollar, not ringgit!), you have to give way to pedestrians crossing, you have to give way to cars that wants to cut in , you must at least leave a considerably appropriate amount of gap with the car in front of you etc etc. Started off from Sydney quite late, around 3ish, and that's no surprise thanks to our usual procrastination on time management. Hehe
Doing what girls usually do :P
Stopped by one of the petrol stations for a pit stop
That's what you do when you are not driving and are bored in the car
Our dodgy accommodation, "motel" to be precise haha. Well that's what you get when you start looking for hotels 2 days before leaving for a holiday on a peak season!
Drove around at midnight and the whole place is so dead already. Stopped by the Parliament House, yup at midnight haha We were lucky enough to even stay there without being caught by the police for messing around at that hour. Haha
The next day, noodle cup was what we had for breakfast. Talking bout healthiness, pfft that we definitely failed. Haha Headed off to
The War Memorial:
The Parliament House:
Haha this picture reminds me of some formal obligated tour picture. Haha
Royal Australian Mint - where they manufactures Australian coins
And to The Floriade
Then we stopped by the National Museum, which does not looks like a museum at all for more pictures.
Finally, on the last day, went to Cockington Green, the place with all the miniatures and Questacon, the Australian version of Petrosains.
Left Canberra at around 7, reached Sydney and drove around the city and to North Sydney. Stopped by to see different views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, which we don't usually get to see without a car! Had dinner at an absurd hour, 2 a.m. to be precise and head off to Coogee Beach for the sunrise!
So that basically wraps up my whole trip. Crazy I would say, but fun and exciting! Click for the full set of pictures below:
