Day 6: Time to say good bye to Sydney, Australia

Staying in InterContinental was a good experience everything was all walking distance and it is not hard remembering where you need to go and come back to the hotel.

I had test my mom to see if she would remember herself going back to our room as we kept going out and returning.

Funny Story:

In every situation you run into a funny story that comes by when I always travel with my mom and she doesn't mind me telling the whole world. No one is really perfect so I would like to share my laughter with you.

We had transferred to another room because my mom complains that there is a bad smell in the room.

We had been transferred to another room with a bell boy who's Filipino.

My mom and the bell boy are talking to each other and all a sudden an Australia man holding a tray with bowl of fruits approach my mom telling her it is for her.

Mom said, how much is the fruit?

Australian man said, it is a complimentary.

Mom said, why?

Bell Boy - It is a complimentary he said, in Tagalog in their language they both speak.

Mom - She understood after the bell boy explained it in Tagalog.

View of our room

All I can say you can trust living in Sydney, Australia there was a moment when my mom was eating her dinner at Cafe Opera inside InterContinental and she was busy chatting with her friend on her phone.

When she was leaving the table to pay her bill she went to her room.

My mom realizes her phone was missing.

She told me maybe she left it at the restaurant that was the last time she had used it.

She kept rushing me to leave the room feeling her phone is gone for good.

I went to Cafe Opera Restaurant and the man at the counter smile at me and handed the phone.

I said, thank you to the man.

Snacks I found that I wish in some places it had carried in other countries. I had checked online they do carry Bundaberg in other flavors, but not Pineapple & Coconut. I found out they also carry Rootbeer my old time favorite soda for 1 Pack that has four bottles for the price of PHP 300.00 ($6.00) plus shipping cost of PHP 45.00 ($0.90).
