Weekend Explorations

This weekend was one of those weekends that lasted forever (in a good way of course!). We began the weekend with a bus into Sydney CBD (which is close to the Opera House - across the bridge as I keep calling it).  Pri got a recommendation from a friend to head south (as he works in North Sydney) and to continue walking down George Street until you hit Circular Quay (pronounced Key) to find some cool restaurants!

We walked and walked.. and headed to the right of the Quay which we found out on Sunday was the wrong way (we should have headed left). We had a lovely dinner at a local bar (Chicken Burger/Fries plus this mushroom risotto ball) because we were feeling healthy and watched all the local young professional hit the bar hard for drinks after a hard weeks work. It was 7pm and the place was packed - it had an outdoor and indoor where the outdoor section was a large piece of the sidewalk that was roped off with high top tables & bar stools.

Saturday we headed to Westfield's Mall in Chatswood to do some household stuff shopping for our potential new place. We found a target which made my hubby quite happy & managed to get all the necessities: pillows, sheets, dovet, pillows & quilt cover!  We came home and struggled to use up our leftover fridge items and make dinner before we moved on to the 2nd Temporary apartment as we waited for our lease to come through.

Sunday was a good day! After moving out luggage (4 Pieces: 2 Heys & 2 BIG duffle bags) from 1 apartment to another ... we set out for Sydney CBD (across the bridge again) but this time by foot! It was a lovely 30 min walk across the harbour bridge into Sydney where we ate ice cream and feasted at a local pizza place at The Rocks! (An area near Circular Quay that is known for the restaurants/bars/nightlife... which we were suppose to land at on Friday Night). Dinner was good but the highlight was a local aussie kiddie (part asian/part aussie by the looks/accent) that was literally falling asleep while he waited for his pizza and while he ate his pizza. This kid was amazing.. I paid no attention to Pri all dinner and just sat and not-so-obviously looked at this kid eating and sleeping!  We walked back to our place as the sun was setting and I crashed and burned on the sofa while we watched tv and rested our legs.

Take Aways

• Feed kiddies before they get sleepy... and if you don't make sure to videotape them and show them later. :) 
• It only takes 30 mins to walk across the harbour bridge
