This is a very interesting experiences. It's really steep for the train to go up and down. Tourists also can see different sceneries including a few minutes in completely darkness.

It took us two hours to walk in the crowd from Sydney Harbour Bridge to the train station. A board by the road showed "Extensive delays" as trains were full.

Pháo hoa đẹp thật. Tôi cũng muốn đi du lịch nước ngoài khám phá những vùng đất mới nhưng không có khả năng về tài chính. Chị thật may mắn là có niềm đam mê du lịch và có điều kiện để thực hiện nó. Tôi vẫn còn nhớ lần đầu tiên tôi gặp blog của chị cũng là năm 2008 đây. Lúc đó chị có hướng dẫn tôi cách lập blog nhưng tôi đã không lập vì tôi đã không làm tourguide nữa. Chúc chị năm mới sức khỏe, hạnh phúc, may mắn và có những chuyến đi thú vị sắp tới trong năm 2014. Cheers!
