Day 7 - 24th January 2009
Our first stop was to China Town. Nice place for shopping (which obviously I couldn't tolerate for long). Can't bargain like how we do over here, unfortunately :-(
After Paddy's market, we headed to other parts of the city via our Hop on Hop off bus for half the day and ended up at Oprah House / Circular Quay / Harbour Bridge! Awesome site! Took loads of pictures. We found a 'river taxi' who was willing to take us for a 'sunset' cruise at a reasonable price.
Day 8 - 25th January 2009 
Today is Blue Mountains day! After mass at a church a few blocks away from our hotel, We took the tramp to central station and from there a bus to one of the train stations (I can't remember the name now). From there, it was a train directly to Katoomba.
That night, being the even for Chinese New year and since the Casino in SunCity is opened 24hrs, us cousins diverted there after Darling Harbour! We only played the jackpot which seems the easiest. Levin won $10!!!! Dom won $5, which he gave me and i ended up loosing it all.... plus another $4 :-p hahahah..... I knew it was time to head back :-p hahahha......
Day 9 - 26th January 2009
Our flight back to Gold Coast was in the afternoon so we managed to slot in the Aquarium tour in the morning after breakfast. We saw some really nice fishes and a good number of whales! We even came across the Dugongs!
Guess what we did the minute we reached Cheers Backpackers!!!!! Get ready for our last swim in Surfers paradise, of course!!!!!! We couldn't resist! We were in the waters for hours..... came out only sometime closer to 9pm (since it gets dark at 8ish).
Day 10 - 27th January 2009
I couldn't believe the trip was over so fast!!! We needed more days.... :-(
