A Sydney Harbour Evening

The Paramatta River Cruise brought us to the end of our AATKings Blue Mountains day tour.

Mom said that we should quickly snap some photos of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House as the sun sets. She said that we should get Teddy Jr in the photos too cause we've not brought him out before this. It was really sweet of mom to do so. Teddy Daddy is sure going to be happy about this.

Sydney Harbour at night was just... breathtaking.

♥ #17

We were both talking on the phone without realizing that our relationship had just turned 17 months. I felt guilty when he reminded me by wishing me yesterday while we were chatting online.

I'm one bad girlfriend. I know.

It got me thinking. It really didn't matter that we had just turned 17 months. What matters most is that we've got a future together to look forward to. And yes, I'm talking about the commitment that we're willing to make, the vows that we're willing to keep, and a lifetime of memories we're looking to build together.

Happy belated 17th month, my love.

Sydney Olympic Park and Paramatta River Cruise to Sydney Harbour

After our railway and cableway return trip experience down to the valley at Scenic World, we were off to the Sydney Olympic Park.


We stopped by for a quick toilet break and stroll before heading off again.

The sun was already setting when we left the Sydney Olympic Park.

Our last stop was the Paramatta River Cruise back to Sydney Harbour.


Our ride.

Here's how the inside looks like.

Then under the Sydney Bridge we went.

Sydney Harbour is just so beautiful at this hour.

Scenic World, Blue Mountains

Our short stop at Echo Point was over. We headed back to the bus, and traveled a short distance to Scenic World. Here's where we got to experience the world's steepest railway while traveling down to the valley, and look down below at the valley from the cable car while we were heading back up again.

The AATKings tour bus that took us around Blue Mountains.

Tickets to the bottom of the valley.

All strapped up and ready to plunge down to the valley.

On our way down.

And down...

And down some more...

Till we reach a platform at the valley.

Well, we didn't reach the bottom most of the valley though.

The Three Sisters - Meenhi, Wimlah and Gunnedoo.


Mom and me.

We looked up and saw a cable car.

Check out the Scenic Railway's track. Mega steep.

Not to forget, Teddy Jr. and The Three Sisters.

We climb some stairs, turned around, and saw what was behind us.

More facts on the Scenic Railway at the valley.

A replica of how they use to transport coals.

Entrance of a coal mine.

And yes, the Scenic Railway is the steepest of them all.

More info on coal mining activity.

Tools which were once used by miners to mine coal.

We then stroll along the Scenic Walkway.


Enjoying nature's gifts while strolling on the walkway.

It was really calming to stroll along the walkway.

And after a short stroll, we've arrived at the que to the cable car ride.

We went up the cable car, and up and up we went!

Inside our cable car ride.

Here's how The Three Sisters would probably look like in human form.


And our Chicken pie from Leura kept us full throughout our trip *hearts*
