Sydney, Sydney, I was never a fan, but you are won me over with your sunny days and your good looks. After the rain the night
before, we woke to a beautiful, if not chilly day.
We walked up to Crown Street
and found a cute café, Fifi Foveaux's, Surry Hills. As soon as I saw the gnome
stools I knew this was where I wanted to eat breakfast. Then I spotted the ruby
wallpaper, perspex chandelier and groovy textured light fittings, and to top it
off, Fifi is cheap, nothing over 10 bucks.
It was a good thing we all
had a big breakfast, as the rest of the consisted of a LOT
of walking. First destination was another component of the Head on Photo
Festival at the Ultimo TAFE at the Muse Gallery.
How pretty is the TAFE?
Next, we walked to Darling Harbour . One of Sydney 's largest dining, shopping and entertainment
precincts, set on the waterside.
After Jarvis had a play in the gardens, we
walked into the city centre. While I gave Jarvis a feed, Justin went and tried
on some suits. This is when our sling got stolen. Justin put it on top of the
stroller, turned to me to give me some water and when he turned back the sling
was gone. (Very not happy).
From the city we walked to The
Rocks’ cobbled laneways. It is the strip of land where European settlers chose to
step ashore in 1788, The Rocks is essentially the birthplace of modern Sydney . Over the last 200-odd years, it’s morphed from a settlement
of convicts, soldiers, sailors and street gangs to a thriving, modern precinct
boasting a range of accommodation, attractions and funky bars and restaurants.
A yummy pizza was had for
lunch, but I cannot remember the name of the restaurant, nor did we take photos
as we were too busy eating.
With full bellies, we went to
one of the major tourist attractions of Sydney . Sydney Opera House. According to Sydney Australia
website, “experience Sydney Opera House - one
of the world's most creative and busiest performing arts centres and greatest
triumphs of modern architecture.”
Yes, I know he has a pole coming out of his head, but how cute does Jarvis look?
After so much walking all day, it was another long exhausted walk
back to the B&B for a very much needed afternoon nap.
So much walking!
