Sydney YOLO trip (backpack style) Part 2/5

Before i move on to second part, here are photos of me and the girls i got from my other friend - first day of the trip.


So on the second day, we continued our journey by visiting one of the park in the city- Hyde Park. Basically we just walk around and snap pics. The park is big and consist of 2 parts. There are some construction work going on. So you know, girls like to snap pic *practically any spot can be a potential ahaha*.My girls just can't stop snapping pics (Don't really wanna admit but i am one of them, too i suppose) LOL.

saw the camera?:D



:D
We then visited St Mary cathedral.
We are not allowed to take picture inside *toobad :/ , but the interior part is simply amazing. almost breathlessly beautiful.
This makes me thought of Xavier (my nephew). Whenever we( me and my sis) ask him how does he usually pray when he is in church, he will always act, cross his finger, and murmur *LOL  (cause he always follow his dad to church.) So basically we took allot of pictures.

AND
JUMPSHOT!
:'D
Then we head over to DFO ( Direct factory outlet) at Homebush after spending almost two hours there. You can head over there by train, directly to Homebush station, then walk/ take bus to the destination. We depart from st James station, which is just right at the corner of Hyde Park.

Studying the map before we depart *backpackers style*. However, the person at the counter gave us the wrong direction to DFO, instead of Homebush station, he directed us to another station further away -.- .
Luckily, we managed to got down at Homebush station, navigate using Google map( very important and useful) and walked for like 15 minutes to the destination ( save$ erhmm). There is an option to take bus 525 which is only 5 minutes away. Now here comes the funny story-- way before we come to Sydney, we thought we will be shopping like crazy at the outlet here *cause Harbourtown in Adelaide is just THUMBSUP :P * , so we sort of thought that this outlet will be more or less the same----even brought lesser stuff so that we are able to fit in the extra stuffs that we might buy, keeping it within the weigh limits *too high expectation hmmhmm*. 
ENDS UP, we buy NOTHING. Yes NOTHING. Cause you know why? there are no sales and it is a shopping mall like place, like a smaller version of Sunway Pyramid *Dissapopointed.
We should have headed to Birkenhead point instead -.- * Which is also quite far way from the city*

Empty handed, we went back to Thai Town in the city to have dinner. Initially wanted to try out a very famous Thai restaurant- Chat Thai, but because there was a long que and we were too hungry (price is also an average of 20++), so we went to the other Thai restaurant down the street.
Seriously forgot the name, but it tastes like char kuey teow back in M'sia, a non-spicy version.

Tom Yam Gong

Green Curry Chicken
The taste is okay, not a wow but at least it doesn't taste bad. Price wise is reasonable too. Forgot what is the name of the restaurant (Just futher down the street after you pass by Chat Thai) :P

So yeah, here's part two- Day two of our trip. Not a great one but farrrrrrrrr better than first day, guess the trip is getting better and better as days go by.( More epic things ahead though hahah)
So, next post will be up asap, wait for Part3! 

Have a great day! :)
