The "BREAK"

Last time I wrote a blog post, to other than keeping updated on why there was no post in the blog, was my first beach trip here in Australia.

During my break, I didn't do much other than find more places around the city to visit or just go walk around and take lots of pictures. I also visited the Blue Mountains with a group of friends it was pretty AWESOME. We stayed at a house that we rented for the day. As soon as we arrived we noticed there was rained and there was a lot of fog around the area. This didn't stop us from walking some of the paths and see beautiful falls.
After a good time of walking, we decide to head back to start setting up for the barbecue aka barbie. The food was really good and we had an awesome time there. I have to say it was freaking freezing in there to the point that I slept with leggings, my pj's and a sweatshirt oh let's not forget the heating blanket ! Besides the cold, it was a great trip the next day we did some more walking and got to see the main attraction in the blue mountains the Three Sisters.










After this lil trip to the mountains, I barely did anything other than eat, catch up with some of my favorite shows. I visited the city more and walk around finding new places to eat or just to hang and take cool pictures.
I decided one day before the break finished to go to the beach so thats what I did. I got to the city and then took the ferry to Manly and walked to the beach. As I imagine the beach was totally full because 1. There was a jazz festival going on, 2. It was a sunday and there was beautiful out.
It's time I fill you up with the sunday thing here. So on sunday's public transport is only 2.50 the whole day so I only paid my train ride for 2.50 and every other public transport I take on that day like buses or ferry with the Opal card system is basically free. That's why it's awesome and awful at the same time to travel to beaches on sunday.
I was getting quite bored and the remember I had seen there was this other beach I wanted to visit near manly. I decided it would be good to go and check it out. I got on the bus and followed my maps route to there.
As I got there i realized this beach was very pretty and it looked very local to me, which made it very nice. After a while of being there I decided it was time to head back to the wharf to take the ferry. This is where all the problem begins ! I had to wait for around 40 min for a bus to get me near the wharf because the bus schedules were messed up thanks to the festival. As soon as i get to the wharf I realized there was a big line like big as going out of the wharf in like big crowds. I kinda cut the line by walking around the crowd to one store inside the wharf and just staying in the line afterwards. As we were able to tap on I walked to where the doors for the ferry were to be able to get a seat. When the doors opened everyone went all psycho and started pushing. It was so scary because we weren't even able to walk. At the end I got to seat and just chill on the 30 min ride back to Circular Quay.
Most of the times when I've been to the city I never get to stay late enought to see the Opera House lighted up but that day I did and it was so amazing !












It might have not been the most amazing break to some of you reading the post but for it was a pretty nice and realxing two/three weeks

I hope you stay tune for the next post

Bye felcia ;)

Is it too late now to say sorry ?

Hello to whoever still follows this lonely blog,

You might have notice hey she never posted during her break as she promise. boo liar!
Well, it was not mostly because I didn't want to I just could bring myself to do it. My brain was suffering from writer's block. I know you might think "well you just needed to type what you did everywhere new you visited", but it's not that easy I like to make my blogs funny and interesting too. SO yeah that's what happen.
I also being a little down and more tired than usual these past days so I've been trying to keep up with school work more than other things, such as the blog, and I know I should balance both but my health and school work come first.

I hope is not too late to say sorry if you follow this adventure and I will try to tell you a little bit of what I did during my break as soon as I have a break from school which I have a feeling will be soon ;)
If I keep the good work I could be writing some blog entries Thursday and Friday so stay tuned and If you have any tips on what should I do to have a great balance please share them with me :)

Bye (for now) Felicia,

Pam

I got sand in my shoes !

After the struggle with my camera, I finally was able to import the FREAKING PICTURES. *5 seconds dance party*

Well ever since I got to Australia I've been wanting to go to the beach, but because of school and the weather I never did until recently. 
There was a kite festival in Bondi, one of the beaches near the city,  so I decided to go.
We had to take the train to the city and then change to the train that would take us to train station near the beach. In the train station, we encountered a big crowd waiting to get into the buses to the beach.

After waiting for a long time we were able to hop on the bus and head off to the beach.
When we arrived at the beach the number of people in there was insane, I mean what else can you expect it was a Sunday with beautiful weather.
We decided to find a spot near the water to sit down and just enjoy the day.





The kite festival
















Being able to watch a lot of people surfing was one of the best things about this trip. Some of you don't know that even though I DON'T KNOW how to surf or much about it, it is one of the things that brought me here.
After staying on the beach for quite a while we decided to walk a little bit to explore more of what Bondi had to offer for the day. We came across with a pretty amazing view from the end of the street maybe...? I'm not sure but we decide to sit down near the end of the rocks and just enjoy the view and the sound of the ocean.


Proof of me trying to be badass 



We also decided to take a lot of cool pictures that I will leave down below for you to see. I will also share some of the pictures I took from some of the people surfing on the beach. 
Well, as much as I want to extend this blog there was not much to fo other than enjoy the nature around us.

Enjoy the picture and stay tuned for the next posts 

Bye Felicia

I was gone because ..?

Well hello there !
It's been a while since I updated anything in here but there is a reason why I haven't . Last weekend I visited the beach (for the first time since I GOT HERE !) and after coming back I decided to Upload my pictures to my computer. BIG SURPRISE my camera cord was/ is not working yet. neither is my phone cord.

What do I mean with not working?
My laptop is just not detecting the device. Reasons unknown I've tried with other usb cord for my iPhone and nothing.

So I've come to the conclusion that my computer is the one not working and I should restart it but currently I'm working on a paper which it's due tomorrow at midnight. I hope it will be done today I'm just couple of words down of the 1500 I have to do. Some of you might be "well you probably procrastinated a lot!" I'm not going to lied I did for the first weeks when I already knew about the paper and deadline but not always because I wanted. Plus I have more subjects too that required homework due in a sooner deadline than this paper.

ANYHOW I'm not here to give you explanations about my procrastination and all the jazz. I'm here to tell you I'm on break now and will try to do as much blog post as I can and to keep you entertained.

Please bare with me and stay tuned for the upcoming posts

Bye Felicia

Gotta catch em all !

I FINALLY SAW KOALAS AND KANGAROOS !

Well before all the excitement of me seeing koalas and kangaroos, let's just take it back to early morning... (blurry flashback moment)

I had to wake very early in the morning to be able to get to the zoo at 10 am because I was not going alone but with a society of the school that meant I had to leave my house around 7:15 am. Anyways you guys already know the drill I had to take the train to the city and then decided how much my legs could walk at 8:30 in the morning.

I got to the Wynyard station and decided I should hop off the train here and just walk a different route to circular quay. As soon as I get out of the station what's the first thing I see STARBUCKS (insert an eye-hearted emoji x1000) I bought a drink and then kept walking towards my destination.
As I walked I got to see different buildings that were pretty amazing. Once I arrived near circular quay I got to see another part of The Rocks neighbourhood where they had a Louis Vuitton store which had a beautiful front store.

 After realizing that I really had nothing to do other than wait I sat down and had a granola bar and finished my coffee while taking in all the beauty around.
What a wonderful way to start my day
At 9:20 I took the ferry to the zoo. When we got out of the ferry I was a little bit confused towards where to go. I did not have my ticket and had to meet with the people of the society who organized the trip. I ended up checking my facebook to see what were we supposed to meet. I had to get to the main entrance and for that there were three options:

 1. Taking the bus
 2. Walking, which I was not sure how long I would have to walk
 3. Using the cable cars 

I ended up hopping on the cable car with no problems, I mean that was a good adventure ! which took me all the way up to where the main entrance was. YAY !
Look at the view  


After getting my ticket well I was on a mission to see every animal there was to see! I've decided that instead or just telling you more about it I'll just share you some pictures and then add some comments when needed. 
 Let's see what we've got here...








KANGAROOS








 AND ... KOALAS *insert an extremely happy, eye heart emoji* 
 Here in Sydney, you are not allowed to touch the koalas that's why I am not holding this cutie, but I hope I get to travel to Brisbane and get a cuddle from a koala real soon...

THIS IS DARWIN 
JUST LOOK AT HIM
Well that all for this post of me visiting the Taronga Zoo but I will leave some more pictures nd some videos down this post 

Stay tuned for more adventures

Bye Felicia
