My recent trip to Australia was truly memorable. I and my new travel buddy explored 2 cities by almost all means transportation - plane, train, bus, ferry, tram, cab and by foot. And the most amazing was we experienced 4 seasons in just 1 week!!! :)

I love Australia. The city is relaxed and peaceful (there was no rushing and people enjoy every minute of their time) and full of inspiration (from beautiful architecture, entertainment performance and arts display). The people in Australia (both Sydney and Melbourne) are friendly. Strangers stopped and greeted us with that ever popular Australian phrase: "Good day Mate! How's your day going?" or perhaps "Have a good one mate!".

So are you ready to hop on and review our trail? Be ready to explore most of them by foot! There's much to be said for exploring a city this way - it's far easier to take in the sound and sights that give every city its unique character. You'll also be able to find a lot more of the city's hidden gem when you're on foot patrol.
