Meriton Serviced Apartments - Kent Street: Since they arrived at the hotel early in the morning and it was not yet time for afternoon check-in, there was no ordinary room available that Yunluo and An Chuyu had originally booked. However, their luck was strong and there happened to be a room with a sky view available, so they decisively increased the price by AUD/day.
That is AUD/day, living in the building with sky view, it is not bad, standing on the balcony you can overlook the whole Darling Harbour, it is worth the price. Meriton Serviced Apartments-Kent Street has a PWC outside the balcony. After packing up, go downstairs, the good location is really important.
There is a station downstairs, and there is a view downstairs. This is the cathedral downstairs, St Andrews Cathedral. Although I live near it, I have never had the opportunity to go in and take a look. It is said that Melbourne is more suitable for living, with cheap prices and convenient life, but Yunluo still feels that the prosperous Sydney is Yunluo's favorite.
As we walked, he said, "This is the side of the town hall. There aren't many people there, right?" In fact, this is not the main entrance. I dare not take pictures at the main entrance because they are all practicing XX. You know. Will Yunluo tell you that Yunluo went to the zoo on her first day in Sydney? Will Yunluo tell you that this zoo is actually the wildlife chain zoo where Yunluo took pictures with a koala on Hamilton Island?
Haha, Yunluo really loves small animals. Actually, Yunluo was just itching to see other people’s guides with photos of kangaroos. It seemed like a chance to get up close to a boxer, so she dragged An Chuyu to the zoo. She could only see the kangaroos from a distance, but the other small animals were pretty good. The animal in the upper right corner of the picture above is called a wombat.
I don't know how to translate it, but Yunluo is so cute that he brought back a wombat doll. Dangdangdang (one, one, one, one, three times) used this grand way to treat Yunluo to the most satisfying and luxurious meal of the whole trip. The Nicks seafood platter in Darling Harbour, AUD, everything is basically in the picture.
Under the prawns is a whole blue crab, which is enough for two people if they are not too hungry. In fact, in Australia, no matter eating, drinking, or having fun, as long as you don't multiply by the exchange rate, everything is quite cheap. University graduates also earn 10,000 dollars a year, and our salary is about the same, but they can sit in Darling Harbor in Sydney with AUD.
Enjoying the scenery while eating seafood, why is there such a big difference. No more nagging, let's talk about food. When Yunluo and An Chuyu sat down, it was only a few minutes away from the sun setting. They were eating outdoors, and the seafood platter served had raw and cold seafood on one side and fried seafood on the other. Therefore, the service industry specially adjusted the awning above Yunluo and An Chuyu's heads.
Fried foods are exposed to the sun, and frozen foods are kept in the shade. Wow, look at how thoughtful they are. Walking around the restaurant after dinner, I saw this chef who specialized in processing oysters. His technique was super skillful. In his hands, the ugly oysters covered in mud and water were turned so easily into delicacies that made Yun Luo salivate.
Yunluo and An Chuyu asked for his permission to take a photo of him. Look, he has a great sense of the camera, what a lovely master. It would be nice to just walk around Darling Harbour. Darling Harbour is really a good place, with many places to eat, a shopping mall, and the Maritime Museum that Yunluo took the picture of above. Of course, it was closed when Yunluo and An Chuyu went there.
But it doesn't matter. His exhibits are parked on the shore. Haha, it's free to visit. The medieval pirate ship seems to be able to go out to sea now. I ended today's trip with a photo of a seagull and went back to rest early.
We just wandered around Darling Harbour yesterday and had no problem taking public transportation. However, Sydney is so big and we also need to take the ferry, so the first priority is of course to buy a pass. There are many types of passes for Sydney transportation, including mybus, mytrain, mylight, myferry, and of course the mymulti pass bought by Yunluo and An Chuyu.
Each ticket is divided into a number of days. Yunluo thinks that as a tourist, a mymulti is a good choice. As for the number of days, it is determined by everyone's itinerary. Yunluo and An Chuyu plan to stay in Sydney for a full day, so they just buy a one-week ticket. When you swipe the card for the first time, the expiration date will be printed on the back of the card.
When taking the Mylight, there is no place to swipe the card. Someone will check the ticket randomly. Just show him the validity period on the back of the card. You have to use the ticket after you buy it. You can just take a car from Townhall to Circular Quay, and then prepare to walk to the Royal Botanic Gardens. There you can see several street arts on the quay.
For example, although the following picture is in Australia, Sydney and Melbourne are so different, even the street performances are so different. In Melbourne, more performers perform art itself, such as violin, guitar, various percussion instruments, or magic balls full of fantasy colors. But the street performances in Sydney can make people smile.
For example, the performance imitating sculptures in the picture above, and the performance on stilts in clown costumes that you see later, different city styles create different street performances. It is called a botanical garden, but it is actually just a large lawn. It is fundamentally different from the greenhouse-style botanical gardens in our country that are full of rare and exotic plants. Of course, their botanical gardens are a good place for citizens to relax and have fun.
Rather than a place for tourists to visit and check in, the road along the Royal Botanic Gardens closest to the sea is full of scenery. It is probably the best scenery in Sydney. There are also super funny seagulls sitting in a row. The most famous attraction in the Royal Botanic Gardens is Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, because this is the best place to see the Opera House and the Bridge.
Without a doubt, Yunluo has no love for chairs. Here's a photo of the opera house and the bridge from this angle. See if it looks like a postcard. It feels like there's no way to walk through the huge Royal Botanic Gardens. I took photos while walking inside. This is also in the Royal Botanic Gardens. Of course, the purpose is not to see Yunluo and An Chuyu's big faces.
And the purple tree behind me, I don't know if it's lilac, but it's really beautiful. In fact, I saw several purple trees along the way, passing through the Art Gallery of NSW. Going further, I arrived at the very famous St Marys Cathedral, which is behind this row of trees, although I am not a devout believer.
But there is a sign in the church that says no photography is allowed, so Yunluo will obey it honestly. This is her first time in a country where Christianity is the main religion. Yunluo thought she had been shocked by St. Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne, but she didn't know what is exquisite and magnificent until she came to St. Mary's.
You must go in and see this feeling yourself. Each piece of colored glass tells a religious story. If Yunluo is a believer, he will come here to pray every day and appreciate each piece of glass carefully. Not far from the church is the famous Hyde Park, which should be regarded as another good place for citizens to relax and have fun for Sydney people.
However, for tourists, it is a good place to watch St. Mary's Cathedral from a distance. Look, the background of the fountain is the cathedral. It feels good. A foreigner (in a cyan shirt) and a Chinese boy (in a blue shirt) are playing chess. The Chinese boy is so good. The child with a strong aura is still hungry after walking for most of the day.
They had to find something to eat quickly. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. What should they eat? When they arrived in Sydney, they had to try pancakes on the rock. So Yunluo and An Chuyu took a car back to Circular Quay, a giant oil tanker parked on the shore of the quay. An Chuyu's dream was to travel around the world on a cruise ship.
Sooner or later, Yunluo will overcome his fear of cruise ships and fulfill his dream. The above picture of pancakes on the rock makes me drool. In fact, Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered a large portion of pancakes, but because Yunluo and An Chuyu wanted chocolate sauce, a lot of brown ones.
Photos are really just disgusting. You know. Of course, the food tastes great. After having a good meal and a good drink, it was 4pm. For a city where the sun sets at 1pm, it would be a pity to go back to the hotel to rest. So we decided to go to Manly Beach and take a boat to the pier. This was the first time that Yunluo and An Chuyu took a boat with MyMulti.
These ferries only require swiping the card when boarding, not when disembarking. So, Yunluo and An Chuyu used the mymulti to board the ship smoothly. When they came back, they swiped the card at manly but it showed that the card was invalid. Yunluo and An Chuyu asked the blond handsome guy, and he said that they must use mymulti at manly. Yunluo and An Chuyu were indeed not very clear about the division of areas.
I can only say that Yunluo and An Chuyu used this card to come to Manly. The man smiled and swiped his employee card to let Yunluo and An Chuyu pass. Yunluo and An Chuyu quickly went to "Happy New Year". Haha, is this taking advantage of others? Or is there a system failure? Until now, Yunluo doesn't know whether Manly Beach is within the scope of MyMulti.
The map information in my hand has all kinds of explanations. If you know, please leave a message to Yunluo. I have been troubled for a long time. Thank you. The previous photo is An Chuyu's masterpiece. I accidentally took a photo of a girl on a boat. What is the true meaning of beach travel? Wearing a bikini to go into the water? Or playing beach volleyball? Australians will definitely say nonono.
The meaning of a beach visit is that the family puts on sunscreen and lies on the grass to bask in the sun. Haha, as an authentic Chinese, Yunluo still thinks that snow-white skin is more preferred. Although he is dressed neatly, he still follows others and basks in the sun for a while. When the sun sets, he takes the ferry all the way west.
I saw the last ray of sunlight shining through the various skyscrapers in Sydney CBD. I was lucky enough to see it. I returned to the hotel at 12 o'clock in the evening and happened to catch the fireworks at Darling Harbour. I quickly set up the tripod and took the above photos. The house with sky view saved me the ticket for Sydney Tower. Haha, I woke up early the next morning.
Although they haven't seen any scenery yet, the blue sky and white clouds are enough to make Yunluo and Anchuyu, who live in the haze, excited. They quickly went to the airport to have breakfast and apply for a phone card. There is an OPTUS at the Melbourne airport, a big storefront. Please pay attention, you must apply at the airport, because there are special people to help you introduce and install and activate it.
Yunluo thought there were too many people and it would take about an hour to line up, so she went to the supermarket to buy it. After visiting several supermarkets, the cashiers didn't know the package included in this card. Finally, Yunluo and An Chuyu called Optus via international long-distance. Although the Indian English was difficult to understand, fortunately, the card was bought correctly. Then the problem came again.
We had to find a place to get online. The phone card needed to be registered before it could be used. It took three hours to get the card. However, the good news was that Yunluo's mobile iPhones were 4G in Australia, and the speed was as fast as flying! The communication was settled, and we took a taxi to Apollo Company to pick up the reserved RV. Yunluo and An Chuyu's journey officially began.
Because its vast territory and perfect self-driving facilities complement each other. Since I didn't bring my daughter with me on this trip, I went with An Chuyu and Yunluo. In addition, Yunluo is always interested in new things, so I bought it without hesitation. This is Yunluo and An Chuyu's luxury RV, which is meters long, meters wide, and meters high.
At first, Yunluo was just like everyone else, worried about it, afraid that she couldn't control it, but after getting to know it better, she loved it more and more. Let's talk about the most frequently asked question on WeChat: Driving license: A Chinese driver's license can drive a motorhome in Australia, a C license is enough. However, some places require translation and notarization.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yunluo applied for a RV on Taobao, RMB/unit. Yunluo and An Chuyu applied for one, so they could take turns driving. , Cost: When you hear "RV", your first reaction is that it must be very expensive, but it's actually the opposite. Accommodation, food, and transportation in Australia are all very expensive, and RMB can only get you a motel in China.
As for eating, I only eat enough. Not to mention transportation, the general airport bus is 10 yuan/person, and the taxi is ridiculously expensive, the wheel rolls a few times more than 10 yuan. However, the fuel cost here is only 100 yuan/liter, so RVs are also the most economical means of transportation in Australia. Left-hand drive and right-hand drive.
This place is completely different from what Yunluo and An Chuyu experienced in China, and it is also what Yunluo and An Chuyu are most worried about. They were a little scared at first, but after driving a few roads, they found that it was not as difficult as they imagined. When there is a car in front, Yunluo and An Chuyu stare at the front closely. When there is no car in front, Yunluo in the passenger seat is fully focused and gives an extra reminder to the person next to him.
However, on every road in Australia, you can see big red warning signs saying "Keep Left" and "You have entered the wrong lane, please turn around". Even if you really drive into the opposite lane, don't panic, pull over, slow down and stop, and drive back when there are no cars. Australians drive very properly and they will give way at intersections.
If you are on a very narrow road, they will not force you to overtake, but will slowly follow behind you without even honking. You can pull over on a wider road to let them overtake. , Number of people: RVs are divided into three types: , people, and . The more people there are, the lower the cost per person. There are only a few RV companies in Australia that are truly large-scale.
Because everyone has their own RV or RV compartment. The larger RV companies include Apollo (www.apollocamper.com), Britz (www.britz.com.au), and Jucy (www.jucy.com.au). Among them, Britz is the most expensive and Jucy is the cheapest. Britz also includes KEA and Maui.
Mighty and other brands, the company is the same, but the age of the cars is different. There are also some RV price comparison websites, which can help you compare the prices and models of various companies. Yunluo was booked on the official website of Apollo.
It claims to be the only state-owned car rental company in Australia, and it actually has the most cars on the road. Melbourne Apollo is not far from the airport, and the taxi costs Australian dollars. Yunluo and Anchu arrived at 12:00. Unexpectedly, there were already so many people here. During the three hours of waiting and formalities training, they did not see a single Asian face.
Total cost: the rental fee for the day plus the insurance (highest insurance) and the credit card deduction, a total of Australian dollars, the company's minimum rental is a day, and less than a day will also charge a day's fee. So it's 10 yuan per day, not counting the fuel and camping. Since Yunluo and Anchuyu are the only ones, and the number of days is short, it is not the best solution. If - people.
It will be much cheaper, and the longer the time, the lower the cost of renting a car. Insurance: Regarding car rental insurance, the more money you pay, the wider the coverage and the higher the cost. For example, if you choose the default fee of knives per day, if something happens, the insurance company of Case that pays less than knives will not pay the claim. If the insurance premium is knives.
The insurance company will not pay for a case where the compensation is only one cut. In other words, the higher the insurance premium, the lower the threshold for compensation. Yunluo bought the All-Mighty Option for one day of the cut, which pays the full amount. Having said so much, let's quickly show the spacious driver's seat of the Apollo Euro Tourer, the car that Yunluo and An Chu met. Yunluo is preparing to do a big job in the kitchen.
I was very satisfied with this kitchen. There were three gas stoves, a long worktop, and a large sink. There were plates, bowls, cutlery, knives, frying pans, soup pots, and a basket for washing vegetables. There was also an electric kettle, toaster, microwave, and a small refrigerator. The TV was just a decoration from beginning to end.
Yunluo and An Chuyu never opened it. When booking online, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the deluxe version with a toilet. In fact, the toilet was very small, and they ended up taking a shower in the camp. The toilet needs to be turned when using it, and then turned back after use, and then flushed. This desk belongs to Yunluo. (~^~)
