Today, the Powerhouse museum and the Chinese Garden of Friendship. Later, the theatre to see 'The Lion King'. Lovely mid weather again which made pounding the pavement more pleasant.
Breakfast was at a cafe in the QVB, but not quite as nice as we'd hoped. After wandering through a few more shops, we made our way down to Darling Harbour and the Powerhouse museum. It has a rather ordinary looking entrance, but an amazing interior. And it's huge. I got museum'd out by the end of it and we didn't even try to see all of it.
The cafe at the entrance makes it's own pies and tarts; l had the onion quiche which was delicious. My husband chose it for me so I'm still allowed to sleep in the same bed tonight.
Speaking of food, last night's dinner was at the food court in the Sydney Eye Tower at Dergarah (l think). We shared a plate for two of chicken and beef with side salads dips and bread.
Anyway, after the museum we spotted the old monorail station just next door and starting to look the worse for wear. There was no way to guess if it will be taken down or just stripped back to make a sort of memorial.
On the retrace of our steps back to the hotel, we entered the Chinese Garden of Friendship (see below photo) which was incredibly elegant and serene. Even with a steady stream of fellow tourists! I think I managed to get some shots that were different in their perspective along with the expected photo opportunities. The 'take photos of stairs joke ' has now extended to taking photos of my hubby with his back turned. Makes for a nice photo in all seriousness.
We wandered through Chinatown, then Paddy's markets (wonderfully tacky) and then past the Capitol Theatre on the way back to our hotel. We've scoped out a place for dinner called lzukaya Masashi so we shall see...
