Sydneys's bright and sunny winter continues. Today's plan was to visit the Fish
Market and look at the Inner West so after a quick visit to our friendly convenience store to upload the last two day's blog we strode out across the bridge over Darling Harbour. How to get into the market was a well kept secret but we smelled it before we saw it, and marvelled over the weird and wonderful fish on display. Rosena was very taken with the pink snapper and thinks we should be able to get them in Linlithgow.
We walked a bit further out into the suburb of Glebe but it was not particularly exciting, so given the option to catch a tram back into town, we took the ride to Central Station and then the free bus service up to Circular Quay. As it was such a sunny day we decided that another boat trip was in order and, after grabbing a sandwich, we boarded the "Dawn Fraser", for the Rivercat trip to Watsons Bay. There were an awful lot of other people with the same idea and I don't believe that all of them were Watsons. This small suburb on the south side of the entrance to Sydney Harbour had splendid views back to the city as well as over the ocean from the cliffs. We wandered around for a couple of hours and then opted for the very exciting bus trip back into the City. Sydney bus drivers are in a league of their own and take no prisoners.
It was getting on for the cocktail hour so we donned our gladrags and headed to a more
lively part of the Inner West, stopping for a beer at a pub where a tame cockatoo has free run of the bar, before picking a Lebanese spot for tonight's culinary feast. The food was so good that we actually forgot to take pictures of it so you will just have to take our word for it.
