This post shows pictures that I’ve taken during our Sydney Trip. I know I am still a beginner and I need more practice. But I am happy that I got to experience Sydney with Doms. Next stop, Orlando Florida (wish!)

The Great Blue Mountains of Sydney
Continuing on with my blog posts about our Sydney trip was our experience in the cold Blue Mountains region of Sydney. Like what I said in my Featherdale Wildlife Park Adventure, my Blue Mountains experience was not that good because I didn’t like the cable way ride and the scenic railway.
Anyway, after almost a 3 hour-ride from Sydney City, we arrived the “entrance” of Blue Mountains where the beautiful Three Sisters rock formation can be viewed. I was literally awestruck when I saw how neat and beautiful Three Sisters is.
Three Sisters rock formation was as if God went down and made by hand this rock formation. God is truly amazing! We were at a place called Echo Point where we can see the rock formation and the beautiful mountains.
After Echo Point, we then headed to a more adventurous part of Blue Mountains, Scenic World.
going to the different views of Scenic can be done either by Scenic Skyway, Scenic Cableway and Scenic Railway. We didn’t do the first one, thank God! We just did the Cableway and Railway and n both rides, I was either shouting or I had my eyes closed.
good thing I was able to give smile to Doms at the Scenic Cableway above. I literally screaming on the way done, haha!
But for the Scenic Railway, I was really scared when it was coming. A lot of things was coming inot my mind while doing the Railway! I was really freaked out!
In between the cable and railway, we had the chance to do the scenic bush walk going to the coal mines of Blue Mountains. It was a nice experience but it was also tiring! Steep staircases were always present and I hate stairs!
All in all, I liked out Blue Mountains adventure. It was scary for me because I didn’t like anything that involves heights and steep railways but Doms seemed to like every minute of it.
Featherdale Wildlife Park Zoo Morning
I can’t think of a nice title for this blog post because I am not very excited talking about these activities. The main reason being my dislike in going to zoos and my fear of heights!
Our third day in Sydney marked a change from walking around the Sydney streets. We purchased a package tour going to one of the famous spots in Sydney called Blue Mountains. I was excited of course but terrified at the same time because I knew that I will be placed in a compromising position because our tour package includes “rides” that I was afraid to do.
Our tour also includes a ticket going to the Featherdale Wildlife Park. I like this place! Animals roam freely and you can pat or touch them. Except of course if there are snakes and lizards which I scream just by looking at their pictures.
Anyway, as always, Doms liked touching animals and taking pictures. As you can see, he looks like he loves all of them already!
Me, on the other hand wants to as far away as possible to them.
My favorite part of this zoo experience was the picture taking with the cute Koalas. At least this one, looks like a stuffed animal only so no problems to me if I touch them!
Pancake on the Rocks, Sydney
One of our main goals during our Sydney trip was to try different food and dishes in different restaurants. Well, we did eat a lot but we didn’t take pictures of all the food that we ate. Anyway, one of the restos that stood out during our trip was Pancake On the Rocks.
I’ve been searching about this resto way before our trip. It was well recommended by a lot Sydney bloggers so I made sure that we will eat in this resto.
Our first try of this wonderful place was in Harbourside Shopping Centre. It was our first full day in Sydney and before watching Harry Potter in Lido IMAX, we made a stop at Pancake On the Rocks.
The place was jam-packed with people and we had to wait around 10 minutes to be seated. While waiting, my mouth watered on all the food items passed us. My stomach wasn’t cooperating either. It wasn’t hard to order. Almost all the tables in the resto had Steak and Ribs on it so we decided to order both dishes.

| Pork Ribs |
Our order came out this glorious! I didn’t care about the long wait for the food. I wanted to stuff everything in my mouth so I can taste every inch of the ribs (OA!). The steak was well done just the way we liked it. The sidings of veggies and cajun fries made it more yummier. The Pork Ribs on the other hand was the best that I’ve tasted so far. The BBQ sauce was so good and the ribs were so tender.
Then, we ordered Banana-Rama which was so nice to the eyes and to the tongue.

The pancake medley had ice cream and cream at the same time with caramelized banana and syrup. We instantly digged in the pancake and it was gone in minutes!
Our next trip to Pancake On The Rocks was on a Friday. It was drizzling and we had a hard time looking for the place in the Rocks. The 2nd resto was cramped a bit and it wasn’t as comfortable as the one in Darling Harbour, but people still lined up to get in! Good thing we came in early.
We ate pancakes purely on our second visit. I loved it! I really think that the reason why this resto was and still is a big hit is because the taste in their food is really consistent wherever the location of the resto is. The staff was also nice and accommodating.
Food price wise I really wouldn’t know because I forgot the prices already. I think it’s on the site. Well, I love this resto and I will definitely eat here again when we get back in Sydney!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Let me just say that it was a very good decision to watch the last installment of the Harry Potter movie in the big *ss screen of IMAX in Sydney.
Let’s rewind one month ago…
I bought tickets to watch Harry Potter last June 14. This day was more than a month before the actual screening of the movie and yet our seats were on the side already.
The actual screening date came and I was so excited to watch it in IMAX Sydney. People waiting in line were wearing costumes and this made me excited more!
Here are some pictures of the IMAX Theatre in Sydney…
Look how huge the cinema was?!?! Harry Potter and the rest of the cast were so close to my face I can even smell them!!! Joke!!!
Going back to the movie, IT WAS AWESOME!
I loved every part of it! The acting of the characters were exceptionally good and the effects were great! I cannot deny that every member of the cast and crew of this movie gave it there all to make this movie great and memorable.
I will surely miss watching the HP movies. Good thing I have all of the movies downloaded already!
