My Last Holiday

My Last Holiday : New Year's Eve in Australia


My last holiday was very nice. Because after 2 years , I came back to visit Australia. Australia is one of the tropical country that I ever visited. When I was in Junior High School, I came to Australia as a student, and now I came to Australia as me with my family. And it was so much fun when I went with my family. I went to Australia not just with my family but with my parents friends.

After I got my test result, I went to Batam first to visited my grandparents and my cousins. I stayed in Batam for one week. After that, 4 days later, I went to Australia. From Bandung , I didn't go straight to Australia, because my flight was from Bali to Australia. So From Bandung to Bali and then to Australia. It was kind of a tired day, because I needed to be in the three planes in the same day. So I think, It was kind of a whole day in the plane. My trip was in about 10 days.  My trip was not a short trip but neither a long trip. I only visited two city in Australia, Melbourne and Sydney.

First, I went to Melbourne. In Melbourne , I stayed for 4 days. I stayed in an apartment near a station because after Melbourne trip done I went to Sydney with a train. So, when I went to the apartment , I went straight to the room because I needed to took a bath. And after we all done get ready, we went out with a tram. We took a circular way , so it just went around the city. When we went in a tram, We didn't think to went down the tram. After 30 minutes in the tram, we kind of need a fresh air, so we did go down the tram. And we just walked around the city, took some photos too. After that, we went dinner, and went back to the apartment. For the 3 days later, we just have a trip by our own. Like, we went to the shopping center, beaches, a zoo, Luna Park, and Old Melbourne Gaol. After 4 days in Melbourne, I went to Sydney.

Before I went in to the train, it was about 30 minutes late for the train to went to Sydney. It was kind of annoyed me for a moment, because I still needed to sleep. So, the train was ready. I went in and I managed my carries in the train. For a moment, I thought it will be a short trip to Sydney, but the truth was not. It would be 12 hours trip to Sydney and I was surprised. But I thought I could enjoyed the trip. Besides, my sister was my chair-mate in the train, so I could just played with her in the train.
In the train, my activities was just sleep, play, and eat. and for the bonus I could enjoyed the mountain view. After 12 hours in the train, finally, I arrived in Sydney.

When I saw Sydney for the second time, I thought this city was much more modern than Melbourne. The people, the building, the train, and many spot. It was just amazed me. After that, we went to the hotel but still went with a train, but it was just two stations only. The hotel was near the station, so it wont be long. When I went to my room, I just wanna slept but I didn't go straight sleep, I needed to managed some other stuffs. So, the next day, it was 31st December 2017, We had a planed that we gonna celebrate new year's eve in the park across the Sydney Opera House. We prepared the new year's eve very soon, because there were so much people were searching a good spot for took a pictures. While waiting, we played, ate, took pictures, and had so much fun in there. And when the time came by, it was one minute left for new year's eve. It was so much fun. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 , people were yelling and counted it together. And came the fireworks, It was a big, loud, beautiful fireworks I ever seen. It was about 15 minutes played. And after that we went back to the hotel. And three days later we just have a trip to several places in Sydney, like Bondi Beach, Darling harbor, Sydney Fish Market, Echo Park, Sydney Luna Park, and also the most interesting places was Sydney Opera House. And we also had a short shopping time.

After three days later, It was my last day in Australia, we went to the airport and went straight to Bali. when I arrived in Bali, I didn't go straight to Bandung, but stayed a night in Bali's Airport. And the next day, we went back to Bandung.
