Here’s a clear view of the famous Three Sisters from Echo Point.

But I think the sky and clouds that morning makes it even more interesting.

The plan for a leisure walk from Echo Point to Scenic World failed big time when I hurt my left ankle. Uncertain whether itâ€s a light knock or sprain, I decided to turn back up just in case. Sigh…I was so looking forward to taking the scenic cableway of Scenic World. Oh well.

Hence, I went back to Katoomba and had lunch at Old City Bank Brasserie.

One good-looking Bridal Veil Mural at one corner of the street.

SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium

So, I am back at Darling Harbour and paid a visit to SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. It is located in the same building together with Wild Life Sydney Zoo and Madame Tussauds Sydney. I suppose SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium will be one of the things to do with kids in Sydney. Thatâ€s especially when there are plenty of interactive learning stuff here for the young ones.

But hey, I found the child in me while being surrounded by the marine life. LOL

The most impressive part of SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is perhaps walking through the underwater tunnel of Shark Valley.

Sunset at Darling Harbour

Since I canâ€t really do much with a hurting ankle, I stayed around Darling Harbour in hope for a nice sunset view. It did not disappoint.

I had a great dinner at Pancakes on the Rocks before heading back to the hotel for resting. This also marks the end of my short visit to the lovely Sydney. Australia, I will be back!

And so I grabbed my seafood and chips from Doyles. The meal costs around AUD 40 which I cannot say itâ€s exactly cheap. But I suppose itâ€s the experience that counts and the taste were good enough for me. I would probably avoid weekends totally if I were to visit the Fish Market again.

Some fresh strawberries from this gentlemanâ€s fruit stall.

Circular Quay and Pylon Lookout

Thereafter is a visit to Circular Quay where the 2 iconic landmarks of Sydney are located: Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. The Circular Quay is a major transportation hub of Sydney Harbour and itâ€s interesting to see the ferries in action.

Thereâ€s also the popular Rocks Market during the weekends. The stall owners sell things like chocolates, artsy stuff, clothing, jewellery and among many others.

Walking on the pedestrian path of the Harbour Bridge for the panoramic view is a must. Itâ€s also possible to get the view at higher levels via the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk Tour or the Pylon Lookout. Cameras are not allowed for the Bridge Climb hence I opted for Pylon Lookout, which is a cheaper alternative too.

These are the views which I got from the Pylon Lookout.

Ferry ride to Watsons Bay

I wanted to capture the harbour view from the ferry so I board the one heading for Watsons Bay, with the intention to visit The Gap as well. Climbing the stairs and following the coastal path brought me to The Gap. Itâ€s a cliff overlooking the ocean with an exceptional view. Not forgetting the rough waters below that send constant reminders through powerful crashing waves.

I did not stay long enough to explore the rest of Watsons Bay before heading back to Circular Quay. Itâ€s a pity but I am glad to have captured the sunset behind Sydney Opera House.

Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House is easily among the most recognisable structures in the world with its bold and unique roof design. The curved shell-shaped sails roof is indeed mesmerising and one-of-its-kind. Itâ€s too bad that I am not a theatre person.

I also went over to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair in Royal Botanic Gardens for a blue hour view of the Opera House.

I had a sandwich dinner and went over to Guylian Belgian Chocolate Café for some sweet stuff before heading back to the hotel.
