Sand Boarding FUN!

We are all very excited about this sand boarding tour. We have only managed to book while in Sydney. So it was a really last last min time. The website is show in the pictures.

We hop on the jeep to our destination. We are so excited! The ride is very bumpy for ur info.

The first thing is to dip in*! Its Cold sand.

We finally climb up the sand hill. i think i took more than 10 mins. It seems easy but its really hard.

Australia- Sydney

Virgin trip to Sydney

My virgin trip to Sydney. The first place I actually head to is the ZOO!

Can you believe it? I wasn't lugging any kids with me for this trip. But i wanted to see the koalas so much that i requested my friend to bring me the first thing I landed.

I bought my online tickets through www.viator.com  

Ta Da, paid AU$30 just to see them. But the zookeeper lady says new rule is that we cant touch the Koalas anymore. We can only stand beside and take pictures

After the ZOO trip, we head down to Darling harbour for a walk. The weather is just nice and cool in August.

Taiwan 2012 - Cinjing farm

Route to Cinjing Farm via Taroko Hualian

Hello. This is a post whereby I am showing the route from Hualian Taroko to Cinjing farm passing by He Huan Shan. Although the route is very dangerous but for those adventurous, u will want to consider driving up. He Huan Shan snows in early of the year. So remember to chain up if you are travelling up that period. We went in early April, so its just cold. in fact its very cold up there. Day time like 10 degree. Above is the map and below, some of the pictures i have taken along the way.

We finally reach our Minsu- Starry House. After 5 hours of journey. The owner prepared us dinner as we were really hungry. The owner commented why on earth did we use the route? We could have use the route from taichung only 1 hr to reach their place. Well.....

Next Morning, Hubby gear up (in shorts ) wanting to captured sunrise in front of our minsu. Its was 6 degree in the morning!

Managed to get a shot before we return to our rooms.

We head to the farm straight after our breakfast, this is the farm entrance.

The beautiful hills.

Be prepared to have sun screen on hand. Cos although its cold, you will still get sun burn in this weather.
