Sydney, A City in Another Hemisphere - Accomoation & Transportation

Let's start from the best. My friend chose Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains for our one night stay in the Blue Mountains so we could have more time to enjoy the scenery around.

Comparing to the hotels in CBD area, this resort offers spacious room with comfy bed and sofas. It was really relaxing. My friend is the best promoter as my friend still mentions the sofas often after months. The hotel sent us a bottle of wine as compliment did make it hit extra points.

At night, we played pool, checked out the naughty koala painting, the mini merry-go-around, etc.

In the morning, we had a walk around the pound lake of the resort. Felt refresh and peaceful observing how the duckies enjoyed the nature. Some people explored the area by modern segways.

Highly recommended this resort which contains both inner and outer beauty.

Another accommodation was the Big Hostel, an option for longer stay, say 4 nights. The best selling point is its location, only around 10-min walk to the Central Station, walking distance to Chinatown, Darling Harbour, etc. Moreover, the hostel provides complimentary breakfast and free internet in common room. The ensuite room is tiny yet neat with soft bed, air-conditioner, TV and towels. Dormitory are available for budget conscious visitors. If you would save money for other activities, it is recommended. Photos? You may check that out from the official site.

For transportation in Sydney, train and ferry can take you to most major sightseeing pots. Highly recommend to purchase MyMulti ticket to enjoy unlimited rides on train, ferry and bus during certain period of time. With MyMulti Zone 1 for 7 days, I could go Taronga Zoo, Bondi Beach, Manly Beach and so. If you plan to visit the Olympic Park or places farer from the CBD, you may consider Zone 2 or Zone 3 ticket.
