下雨的一天 – A Rainy Day

11/8/2025 星期六 Saturday

早上醒来,外面还在下雨。天气预报说,这场雨会下一整天。我一边喝茶,一边看工作邮箱里堆积的三十多封邮件,不得不回复了其中三封。还是要出门看卡,风大、气温低、雨还在断断续续地下。我们决定先轻松一点,坐一圈免费的有轨电车。

It was still raining outside when we woke up this morning and the forecast said it would rain all day. I sipped my tea while glancing through over thirty emails in my work inbox and ended up replying to three of them. I am supposed to be on vacation!

去墨尔本 Arriving in Melbourne

11/07/2025 星期五 Friday

今天启程前往墨尔本。
早上七点半,我们开车去机场,还车的过程一波三折,绕了几圈才找到正确的地点。顺利交车时,因为没加满油,被多收了28澳元。

Today we set off for Melbourne.
At 7:30 in the morning, we drove to the airport, but returning the car turned out to be a bit of an ordeal — we circled several times before finding the right place and decided not to bother finding a gas station. When we finally handed it over, we were charged an extra 28 AUD for not refueling the tank 😂

悉尼最后一天 The Last Day in Sydney

11/6/2025 星期四 Thursday

今天是轻松的一天。早上边补写前两天的游记,边把这几天的衣服洗了。阳光正好,窗外安静。然后坐Uber去了悉尼最有名的邦迪海滩这里是澳大利亚最具代表性的海滩之一,以金色沙滩、碧蓝海水和自由开放的氛围闻名。今天天气极好,蓝天碧海,沙滩细腻,很多人在海滩上晒着太阳。

Today was an easy, relaxing day. In the morning, I caught up on writing the travel blog from the past two days while we did the laundry. The sun was shining, and it was quiet outside.

羽谷野生动物园和蓝山 Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park & The Blue Mountains

11/5/2025 星期三 Wednesday

早上开车出发,第一站是羽谷野生动物园距离我们的民宿大约四十多分钟。路上又要经过悉尼的复杂而漫长的地下隧道,完全没有手机信号,开起来就像“盲驾”一样。虽然过程有点挑战,但PJG还是安全地把我们开到了目的地。

We left early today which explains why we didn’t make our post yesterday!

澳大利亚的动物们 Australian Animals

11/4/2025 星期二 Tuesday

上午去了悉尼塔龙加动物园。动物园坐落在悉尼港北岸的莫斯曼(Mosman)山坡上,视野极佳——从环形码头(Circular Quay)坐上渡轮,不到二十分钟便能抵达。那一段航程本身就像是一场小小的序曲,海风轻拂,天光与浪花交错,远处的歌剧院和海港大桥渐渐退到背景里,而动物园藏在一片郁郁葱葱的绿意之中。

In the morning, we visited Sydney’s Taronga Zoo. The zoo sits on the hillside of Mosman, on the north shore of Sydney Harbour, offering a magnificent view. From Circular Quay, it takes less than twenty minutes by ferry to get there. The short voyage itself feels like a prelude — sea breeze brushing by, sunlight dancing on the waves, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge gradually receding into the background, while the zoo nestles amid lush greenery.

悉尼港湾大桥和悉尼歌剧院 – Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House

11/3/2025 星期一 Monday

离民宿5分钟的轻轨站 – The light rail station is 5 minutes from the Airbnb.

早上从民宿出发坐了几站轻轨,去了悉尼海港大桥。春夏衔接的天气还有些凉爽,太阳还躲在云层后面,步行走过大桥大概三十分钟,桥上人不多,偶尔有跑步的、骑车的,也有提着咖啡杯散步的当地人,看起来都很惬意。

In the morning, we left our Airbnb and took the light rail a few stops to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The weather, at the turn of spring and summer, was still a bit cool, and the sun hid behind the clouds. It took about half hour to walk across the bridge. There weren’t many people—just a few joggers, cyclists, and locals strolling with coffee cups in hand, all looking quite content.

长途跋涉来到悉尼 Epic Trek to Sydney

10/31/2025-11/2/2025

我们下午四点左右从Alex家出发,五点半抵达洛杉矶国际机场。到达后我们去了贵宾休息室,享用了免费的饮料、小吃、红酒和牛排晚餐, 度假正式开始啦! 大约晚上九点四十分登机。这是我们第一次乘坐空中客车A380——一架巨大的飞机。我们买的是豪华经济舱座位,座位在飞机的上层。可惜的是机舱内似乎不能随意走动,所以并没有感觉的飞机竟然有两层。

We departed from Alex’s place around 4 p.m. in Los Angeles and arrived at LAX around 5:30 p.m. We headed to the lounge, where we enjoyed complimentary drinks, snacks, wine, and a steak dinner.
