After our first Australian breakfast at the deli, with a full stomach, Marc and I continued walking along the streets of Sydney. We were located somewhere near Hyde Park. Following the map we had from the hotel, we decided to walk towards Darling Harbour, which was not very far from the place that we were. We had heard that that area had nice places, including a few tourist attractions like the Aquarium, the restaurants on the pier, and the Chinese garden.
When we arrived there, we suddenly realized that we had been through a twenty hour flight and our eyes were getting tired. More coffee was therefore necessary. We found a nice lounge and café in the IBM building. Inside, Marc noticed nice bouquet arrangements with perfumed flowers. As for myself, I noticed the stars that were displayed on the roof of the building, right on top of the lounge. After having my mocha, I woke up a bit and walked around. I went outside through the backdoor where there was a beautiful garden with beautiful flowers and plants, and a few people taking cigarette breaks.
After coffee Marc and I walked towards the Aquarium, one of Sydney’s attractions, which was about ten minutes away. But as we stood in front of the main entrance, we had a feeling that it wouldn’t be that appealing to visit and we decided not to go inside. We then walked around Darling Harbour and saw many restaurants on the quay. They were of course closed because it was too early even for lunch, but I thought that it would be nice to come back and have dinner in one of them. I couldn’t help but notice that some restaurants didn’t have any ashtrays on their outside tables and that made me want to come back even more!
