8 days in Sydney Day 6

 06/07/2025

OOTD of the day, also showing a bit of the room.  Headed out at 7pm.

Train station closed, why???
There were replacement buses but I didn't want to risk being late for the cruise, decided to take a cab, haiz...

It was a quiet and beautiful morning at Circular Quay.
G Dragon and I breathing the same air, we were so near yet so far from each other.

Took a thousand selfies while waiting to board the cruise.

Finally boarding the cruise for 2hrs whale watching, it was about S$67 with KLOOK.

Gotten some good pics before being asked to leave the deck for safety reason (I wasn't aware that we were not allowed on deck).

Inside the cruise.

Quiet empty inside, most people sat outside.

The sea was very rough, saw mother and cub from far.
That's about it, I went back to puke out my entire morning latte.  Thank goodness I didn't opt for 4hrs cruise.

Back on land, took half an hour to calm down the churns.

From the harbour was less than 10mins walk to The Rocks Markets.
The market only opens from Fri to Sun between 10am to 6pm (some starting to close around 5pm).
Ang mo pasar malam, yay!
Ang mo pasar malam = atas pasar malam, one dress was easily over S$100.

Walked pass Pancakes On The Rock restaurant with a long queue around 12.30pm.

Everything was pretty and tempting but I couldn't decide if I would wear them.  I had too much accessories stashed at home.
They sell combs, pictures, pet accessories, some tibits, handicrafts etc.  Not much photos cos I was having such a great time, most of the things I never seen before.

Further down towards Harbour Bridge were stalls of foooooood!  My stomach recovered it's sense, was hungry!
So much things I wanted to try but I had nobody to share with, the one and only down part of solo travelling.
Look at the crowd of food lovers heehee...

I found photo spot under Harbour Bridge which nobody bothered.  The road was blocked for the weekend market, so it was my cat walk runway.

Harbour Bridge could be climbed but I no energy de.

After the cat walk bought "prata" for lunch.

And ate under the sun.

It was super duper nice especially with a zest of lemon.

This was called ASN Building, with a deep history since 1885.

Previously I was at another spot, a few PRC saw me taking photos, they stepped in, blocked my way, so I had to move away and found this better spot anyway.  China is a beautiful country, but black sheeps are just everywhere.

Below ASN Building was Campbell's Cove, an "accidental discovery".
It was gorgeous like a postcard.

And this is the best place for view of Sydney Opera House, hardly anybody here.

I took my own sweet time to set up the selfie stick, get it bluetooth and had these photos:

It was sheer luck, I looked sibei choi, I really love this pic.

This was Campbell Stores, another historical building since mid 19th century.
It's not difficult to guess that it was formerly a warehouse, now houses cafes, restaurants and some shops.

Winter suddenly felt like summer.

Went back to Pancakes On The Rocks at 3pm, there was still a short queue, waited for about 15mins to get in.

High ceiling, woody beams, couch seatings, spacious environment.

Banana pancakes came in a size of main meal, there were 3 big pieces, only managed to finish 2.

But the watermelon soda was so good that I had 2 glasses.

After nom nom, I bought a pair of earrings, my one and only purchase at this weekend market.

I walked back to Campbell Cove for sunset, but saw no colors.

Snailed back to Circular Quay station, probably the most picturesque station of Sydney with Harbour Bridge.

Kings Cross station was still closed, took the replacement bus, it took forever.  To make things worst, I alight at the wrong stop, I wanted to wait for the next bus but it started to rain oh my gawd...
The wind came in all directions, for once I was grateful for being slightly overweight.

Bought some nuggets for supper, not nice.
But the policeman on patrol outside Mcdonald's was drop dead handsome, I must be drooling cos he smiled at me with a surprised cute look haahaahaa...

Cars outside my hotel was kissing each other, what happened??!!??

The next day went Blue Mountains and Sydney Zoo on a day tour, it was a long day.
