Sydney Day 2

23 November 2008, my 2nd day in Sydney. Weather today aren't that promising as temperature dropped to around 15 degrees the night before. Wind was also blowing hard throughout the night.
We then rented a car for the day and the day becomes merrier as Chee Shing assembled a whole village of his friends from uni totalling up to 15 people divided in 3 cars.
Unfortunately, the weather that day was really terrible. It rained the whole day and the cloud was as if chasing us, following us where ever we went, forcing us to cancel most of our pre-planned activities.

A summary of Day 2 schedule:

Breakfast at McDonald's - Tree Top Walk (cancelled due to strong wind and heavy rain) - wildlife center - Jamberoo water park (cancelled as we arrived too late) - dinner at a Chinese restaurant - movie at Wollongong (Quantum of Solace) - back to UOW hostel - drove down to Sydney around 11pm.

Overall, its really a rainy and unfortunate day for us. 80% of planned activity was cancelled due to rain. Worst, as we went down to Sydney to take some night view of the Harbor bridge and the Opera House, most of the lights were off. In addition, the lights of the Harbor bridge was turned off one by one as we drove cross the bridge! What a mess!

Spent the day driving around, enjoying the lush green view of the countryside where cows graze of patches of green green grass on both sides of the road.

As for the details, pictures will speak better:
