Sydney Trip 2007
Having lived in Melbourne, Australia, for almost 9 years, I finally travelled to Sydney for the first time ever last week.
Planning the trip was easy and quick with Bezurk (a Ruby on Rails application, made in Singapore, I’ve lost faith in travel agents since a long time ago), Wotif (a JEE application, Australian made, works like a charm but they really need a design makeover), and Google Maps (I want my goddamn placemarks on the print result).
I must admit that I like Sydney CBD better than Melbourne’s. My favourite hangout in Sydney was a little cafe in QVB (great ambiance), totally loved the chocolate croissant accompanied by a glass of latte. Another favourite spot was Royal Botanic Gardens, it was totally relaxing, lying on the grass just looking at the blue sky. Last but not least, I think Makoto serves the best sushi.
As for the touristy activity, I took a 2-hour train ride to Katoomba followed by a bus ride to Blue Mountains. And yes, I did all the Scenic World’s Skyway, Flyway, Railway, and Walkway. I also did the bushwalk thingy to Echo Point’s The Three Sisters.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for stopping by.
I found Bezurk via Chu Yeow’s blog.
I introduced Bezurk to some friends, and we agreed unanimously that it should be the de facto source of the cheapest flight deals. I like the overall user friendly and easy to use interface, as one friend put it “Bezurk simply works.”
I’m looking forward to the hotel deals feature. And when are we getting “Flight deals from Melbourne” feature? :)
