Day 4

Today we were supposed to go on our Ku-Ring-Gai Walkabout out in the Outback, exploring Sydney's aboriginal culture in Australia's second oldest national park. However, Tina wasn't feeling very well and so we elected to bypass the trip to stay in town and explore Sydney on our own. It actually turned out to be a great day as we were able to see Sydney on our own schedule and were not pressed for time. We were able to walk around The Rocks District, and check out the weekend market they have set up in the street. We bought a few souvenirs and just walked around taking in the scenery.


The planned dinner gala that was supposed to be tonight got pushed back to tomorrow night because of some "technical difficulties" (read: the sprinkler system was accidentally set off in the ballroom and everything was soaked). So tonight we are on our own for dinner, and we're trying to figure out where we're going to go. There are so many incredible places to eat around Sydney, especially around our hotel, that selecting a good place is a bit overwhelming. Oh the troubles of fine dining in a major international city...

Christopher's "Mortal Sin" cake at The Rocks Cafe. It was baked cheesecake, chocolate mouse, and whipped cream. Oh, and it was delicious.
