A Flexibility Week between the semesters is all that you need to have a break from all the assessment pressure in university.
Last semester’s Flex Week was the best one yet as my family decided to visit me in Sydney all the way from Indonesia. Having your family in a place you now call your home is an amazing feeling.
We had a very tight schedule due to the Flex Week being only one week but we were able to make the most out of it and had a very good time. For instance, we went on a Blue Mountains trip and were able to experience the scenic beauty of the mountains and the sky as the weather was really good that day along with having lunch in the famous Yellow Deli. The restaurant was more like a little tavern that specialises in really good sandwiches. There were also a lot of options for rides from which you can see the view of the mountains. My parents bought a lot of souvenirs for back home from the short trip to Blue Mountains.
As the Blue Mountains is not too far from Sydney, it is a perfect getaway for a day with family and friends. These scenic views will leave you mesmerized and make you want to visit it again.
