雪梨第一天自由活動-----Sydney 1st day

10月19日，飛機於早上7:30分抵達。各人順利通關及領取行李後，南、北加州隊伍於雪梨機場會合，代表雪梨的吳建立及黃樹坤機場相迎。全團由包車接往下榻City Gate酒店。

第一天屬於自由活動日，當地的鄭海、Sarah夫婦及謝學濤夫婦亦加入充當本地導遊，大家都還沒吃午餐，就近吃了些馬來西亞的咖哩湯粉另類食品。接著就展開了逛市中心鬧區步行活動。
On the first day of arrival, there wasn’t guided tour service provided by the travel agency since the local tour would start on the second day.  Local friend Ronald Cheng and wife Sarah led us sightseeing the city on foot; we all enjoyed Malaysian food for lunch at the food court in a shopping mall afterward.

我們找到了在中國城松山開藥店及診所的張雪芳中醫師。大伙驚喜萬分，幾十年沒見面，份外高興。雪芳往冰箱內抓了兩大瓶祖傳秘製的「涼茶」要給大家清涼解毒。

晚上由吳建立夫婦作東，在「達令」港口一家著名的法國餐廳"Little Snail"包下整個二樓，宴請加州來和本地的全部同學共同聚餐。十分熱鬧。法式料理---當然少不了紅酒和「蝸牛」及其他都很捧除了那道不敢恭惟的「袋鼠肉」之外。
At night Lap Ngo couple treated the U.S friends and some MV locals a fancy meal at a splendid French restaurant, named “Little Snail.”  We had a good time and enjoyed a fantastic dinner, further enlightened with find wine.  The atmosphere was incredibly pleasant and joyous.

澳洲藍山國家公園Blue Mountain national park

澳洲藍山國家公園 Aussie Blue Mountain national park museum literary


藍山公園.在2000年被列入自然類世界遺產。藍山名字的由來是因為那裏有藍色的霧，這個景觀的形成是由澳洲的國樹尤加利樹排出來的油被太陽照射接觸到而使整個藍山發出淡淡的藍霧。 

Blue Mountain national park was categorized as one of the world heritages in year 2000.  The name is derived from the blue image enveloping the mountain by sunrays projecting through a layer of oily steam secreted by Aussie Eucalyptus trees.

三姐妹岩是藍山最聞名的名勝。藍山內藏有許多古老的營地，斧頭刻出來的條紋，石頭雕刻，石頭做的生活器具都一一出土。今天，這些保留下來的文化遺產都被完整的保留在藍山裏。The well known Three-Sister rocks can be seen at the Blue Mountain.  Stashed away in the mountain, you can see all sorts of antiques along with engraved rocks

****澳洲藍山的三姊妹岩

Great Western Highway出發，一路上還會經過藍山的標志就是三姐妹峰。 相傳在很久以前有三位美貌的姐妹分別叫做 "靡愛倪", "溫拉" 和 "甘妮杜"。這三位姐妹出生在Katoomba部落，很不幸的是他們三人同時愛上了山下Nepean族兄弟三人。這是有違異族縮怨與規矩，不被父輩首肯， 後來因為他們的戀情而引爆了兩族的戰爭。當時有一位巫師為了保護三姐妹免受戰爭的威脅就把她們變成石頭。然而最後巫師卻戰死，剩下守山谷的三姐妹岩，因此三姐妹岩成了藍山最聞名的名勝。藍山裏三座岩石分別為922公尺，918公尺和906公尺。

To climb the Blue Mountain, one can start from the Great Western Highway, en route the Three-Sister trademark can be seen.  The legendry tells that once upon a time there were three sisters named xxx, yyy, zzz, born in Katoomba tribe, who fell in love with three brothers from another tribe Nepean.  Romance as such violated tribal regulations of both sides and subsequently induced battles between the two tribes.  A witch came to the sisters rescue by transforming her into three giant rocks of 922m, 918m and 906m tall. After the witch died in the battle, these rocks remain there to guard the mountain, and become well known together with the Blue Mountain.

雪梨市中心摩天高塔---Sydney Tower

看完了Sydney Aquarium，就到雪梨最高的Sydney Tower看show以及在最頂端上的旋轉式塔樓餐廳內供應的「自助餐」用午飯。
After aquarium visit, we went to Sydney Tower to see a show, then enjoyed a lunch on a revolving floor on the building top.

晚上回到酒店後，洪校長送來了兩箱巨型的Qua-Na，大家當宵夜又飽食了一餐。
Return to the hotel at dusk, our friend Hong, local Chinese school principal, delivered two cases of Qua-Na (tropical fruit) for everyone to enjoy as a mid-night snack.

參觀2000年雪梨奧運村---Sydney Olympic Town

We had lunch at a Chinese restaurant located at the foot hill, followed by a visit to the year 2000 Olympic village held in Australia.

晚上回到酒店後，意猶未盡的在酒店的會客室(Lobby)開起入夜「水果同學會」。繼續的將洪校長昨晚帶來仍未吃完的巨大Qua-Na以及鄭海進貢的香甜芒果終於撲食一空。咋咋咋！齒隙間還留香留味著！

Back to our hotel at night, we all enjoyed the remaining tropical fruit Qua-Na provided by our friend Hong and sweet mangos delivered by Trinh Hai at the hotel lobby…yum yum…

墨爾本: 永恆之光---Melbourne: Shrine of Remembrance

St. Patrick Cathedrel 是座有名的古老天主教堂。附近的「紀念永恆光芒」的戰士紀念館很特別！Well known Roman Catholic St. Patrick Cathedral.  Nearby is martyr hall.


午餐後前往企鵝島出發。途經一處當地有名的「巧克力」製造工廠 (Pannys)。當然也滿足了我們一些「巧克力狂」的隊友。After lunch we headed penguin island.  En route we stopped by a chocolate store to satisfy our chocolate crazed teammates.
