72 HOURS IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

Landed in Sydney at 9:45AM and went straight to the city to start exploring and of course check in to my hotel - Fraser Suites located on Kent Street. I have to admit and say this was not my first time in Sydney.. I've been to this city a couple of times before but I always act like a tourist each time I visit. 

THINGS TO  S E E  & D O  IN SYDNEY 

☆ Sydney Opera House

☆ Sydney Harbour Bridge 

☆ Darling Harbour 

☆ Bondi Beach

☆ Taronga Zoo

☆ Hyde Park, Sydney 

I started the morning doing some shopping on Pitt Street and at the end of the day ended up walking to see the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. I didn't do much tourist things such as visit Taronga Zoo, Sydney Tower, Bondi Beach etc due to I've seen it all before, this was more of a relaxed short trip to Sydney. But I did discover a new unique shopping mall the Queen Victoria Building which had a lot of 'brand names' shops, cafes, grand piano for any pianist to use and two massive clocks. 

WHERE TO  E A T   IN SYDNEY 

☆ Buckley's Sydney - yummiest pizza.

☆ Laudree Paris - best macaroons ever. 

☆ Guylian Belgian Chocolate Cafe - amazing flavours of gelato! 

☆ The Palace Tea Room - a menu just full of different teas!!

This would have to be my favourite hotel in Sydney, it has the most comfy bed ever. Only a 13 minute walk to the Opera house and also a 10 minute walk to the Shopping distract - Pitt Street Mall.

☆☆☆/5 FRASER SUITES

Was a good hotel but It was a 32 minute walk to the Opera house but a 10 minute walk to Pitt Street Mall.

A QUICK GUIDE TO QUEENSTOWN, NEW ZEALAND

Queenstown is located in the South Island on Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand. There is so much to see and do in the area such as explore the beautiful mountain ranges, valleys, lakes..also just remember to rent a car for your time here as there is so much to see!! I booked a car from Snap Rentals, as they had the best rates and the KM was limitless!! From the airport to town it is about a 15 minute drive, so once you arrived to town be sure to drop off your bags and go straight to explore the town!
