Last holiday I went to Australia with my family. We went there not just for holiday but to visit my brother who study there. We stayed in Australia for about 2 weeks. 4 days in Sydney and 10 days in Melbourne. From Jakarta we went straight to Melbourne because my brother studies there. We stayed in an apartment, the apartment was in an area called Docklands. It was a very friendly area and close to the city center. In Melbourne we didn’t do anything too exciting, we just kind of roamed around shopping, eat, and just relax.
Because we went there 2 days before ied al fitr so we celebrated ied in Indonesian Embassy in Melbourne. It was a different ied atmosphere in there, I think its because of the weather and the people. We didn’t wear the usual ied attire, we wore just like a normal pants, sweater, coat because it was like 10 o C. But we still ate the usual ied food, which is ketupat, sambel goring, opor even though we’re in Australia. My mom already prepared the ingredients from Indonesia.
After four days in Melbourne, we went to Sydney. We went to Sydney not by plane but by car. We started our journey at 5 o’clock in the morning, because it took approximately 10 hours from Melbourne to Sydney. We stopped a couple of times to rest, eat, go to the toilet. The car journey was tiring but we enjoyed it. And I will never forget that journey. We arrived in Sydney at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. And we went straight to the hotel because we were all very tired and just wanna sleep. Especially my brother and father who drove us there. And then we went to dinner in an area called Darling Harbour. It was such a beautiful area. And then after dinner I decided to bought ice cream. It was a bad idea considering the weather was very cold but the ice cream was very delicious. And then we took some photos and just have fun.
The next day, we explored Sydney and we went to a mountain but I forgot what the name of the mountain is. But it was very beautiful and windy at the same time. So we didn’t stay very long in the mountain. We also visited Bondi beach, we didn’t go for a swim of course because it was very cold. After that we went back to the hotel.
I enjoyed Sydney very much. But I think I like Melbourne more. I felt like Melbourne was more comfortable and just a nice place to live. After 4 days in Sydney we drove back to Melbourne to spend 5 last days before we have to go home. We visited my brother’s university in Melbourne and then we also took a look at Brighton beach, unfortunately when we were about to take a photos the rain came so we ran back to the car. I was very gutted that we didn’t take a photo in that beach.
All in all I enjoyed every second I spend in Australia. It was a very relaxing holiday. And I look forward to go back to Australia again. YAYYY!!
