Sydney (beware : pics, pics and more pics)

Vibrant Sydney (at least 4 times bigger than melbourne)



Our first stop, (Harry's pie), noted to serve the BEST pie in Australia



The house specialty, pie with pies and mash potato



Chinatown, Jessica indulging in the famous emperor's puff



The queue was CRAZY!!!! (it's not that nice, emperor's puff is well overrated)
*OoO..look at the line..it must be good..thus the line grows and grows*-'krispy kreme syndrome'



Pancakes on the ROCKS!* we had chocolate pancake, strawberry pancake and pork ribs:)*DELICIOUS!



We went on the rocks walking tour (the tour was excellent, highly recommended!)



Pictures taken on the cruise around circular quay



More pictures on the cruise



Us (Esther, Jessica and myself) waiting to get into the Sydney Opera House for the tour



The Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge from Mrs Macquarie's chair during sunset



Watson's bay, just 15 minutes away by ferry from circular quay, a well kept secret and the birth place of the famous Doyle's restaurant



Lunch,
Imagine fighting with 100 seagulls to eat your lunch...*Jessica's face got scratched in the process because the seagulls took the food right from her hands*..(word of advice: eat indoors!)



Watson's bay has the best of both worlds, the best view of the city and the ocean



'The Gap' national park's ocean view (watson's bay)


The famous Bondi Beach



'Fried mars bar'

The owner of the restaurant claims that he sells the most mars bars in the region per day, more than 100 (not surprising because it's AMAZING!)



Dinner,
We had to wait around 45 minutes to get seats at 'Hurricane'...(I tell you, it's one of the BEST pork ribs I had, BEST, BEST!!!) OMG..it's sooo freaking good (Dad, if you're reading this..I think this could be as good or better than Tony Roma)..and the serving is HUGE...wait..ENORMOUS *enough for 3 people!!!*




Sydney fish market *you can buy your seafood straight from the market then cook it at a restaurant or just buy seafood straight from the restaurant*



These happy campers had one seafood platter, oysters and lobster..yum yum :)



The government house (NSW's governor is a lady) *ahem ahem* girl power! (no pictures were allowed inside, sniff sniff)



Paddy's market


Look at who we meet in Paddy's...(Sponge Bob and gang was there too)



Our last dinner in Sydney, Korean restaurant (Seoul Ria) in the city
*look how happy they are cause the food was really good or maybe cause we were really hungry*



On the way back, I thought learning how to play the guitar was hard, imagine playing the guitar and balancing another on your head..*salutes*



One for the album, *us before leaving Sydney, bags packed, anticipating 11 hours on the trains*
