The Smith goal for our last day in Sydney:
Hit everything we've missed!!!!
With that being said, we covered soooo much ground without one means of public transportation (bus, taxi, shuttle, ferry, etc). Starting in Surry Hills and made our way to Kings Cross, Darlinghurst, Circular Quay, CBD, the entire Sydney Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, and finished our evening in Chinatown!
Makes me tired just remembering it ... started east and worked west.
You see ... I have a weird thing about eggs (it's true, I admit it!) and tend to like the way I cook them over a restaurant or friend/relatives house. Because of this, I have never been a big breakfast person, and Gabe is a HUGE breakfast guy on vacation, like wanting it every day when neither of us eat breakfast back home. Being the good wife that I am, I had researched this breakfast place called Bills that was a local favorite and got a gazillion phenomenal reviews about their signature scrambled eggs and ricotta hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter. So, I thought we'd give it a shot since I just knew the hubs would love it!
Bills for breakfast
Lattes are always served in glass,
which was funny to us as that's what water would be served in back home.
It was truly an art based on how they served it!
The fluffiest eggs, right?! I even asked the chef how many eggs he made because it seemed as if there were six on my plate alone! I believe it was only two or three, but his secret is adding cream to them!
It came up that we were in town from the US, and they asked how we found their spot for breakfast. So, I pulled out my Sydney book, and of course they loved reading their blurp!
Our mission was to walk off those calories after a fabulous breakfast!
I spy a tourist -- and a cute bottom too!
Kings Cross:
Wild mixture of prostitution and crime with a addition of stylish restaurants.
We were told to try not to cross this street after dark ...
As you see, Show Girls is located between McDonalds and a travel shop, Definitely odd.
Distance in km to Auckland, London, Seoul, New York, Bangkok, etc
Great little patios and cafes on every corner - One of my fav things!
Interesting advertising we saw in the city!
Art Gallery
The Domain and beautiful infrastructures
Loved seeing Lululemon in Australia -- Makes me happy
Sydney Hospital - Rubbing the boar's nose for good luck
Fortune of War - Sydney's oldest pub - 1828
Their alcohol is calculated/measured by pushing a button!
It was super weird to see UGGs being sold at souvenir shops!
Walking the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Views from the top after climbing the pillar
After a full day of activities, our evening ended with Gabe carrying my satchel as the additional weight was too much for my feet. Gabe scouted an award winning steakhouse, I'm Angus, that served kangaroo in Darling Harbour, so our evening was spent there soaking up every last second before heading up the coast bright and early.
Gabe said the kangaroo tasted more like venison than anything. They butterflied the fillet into three strips to make it more palatable. He ate every.single.bite ;) and I had lobster!!
I'm sad to report that the Sydney days are over. Gabe and I were impressed with our ability to cram everything we wanted in three days and happily ate at many places we read about prior to visiting. We walked probably 5-8 miles solely today in the city. AND had blister to prove it ....
Some VERY tired feetsies :)
Such an interesting culture with people who have the most wild fashions.
NYC and LA times seven ;)
Next stop, Surfers Paradise
To be continued ....

They SERVE kangaroo? That just seems wrong! Haha.
I love your shoes, I love your pics, I love your trip. I love it all!
Three days and so much! Amazing! And after walking that much, you could not have had to worry about calories at all. The eggs look tempting!
Loved all the pictured. Thanks for sharing :)
I bet you had a whole lot of walking to do! It seems like you guys got to do and see a whole lot for one day! How fun! I'm glad you guys had a blast :-)
Oh my gosh! Your pics are to die for! I have always wanted to go to Sydney!
And hi. I HAVE THE SAME YELLOW SHOES AND I AM OBSESSED WITH THEM! :)
Its so interesting the things that someone from overseas notices in australia, things that i would have completely overlooked.
And as for the UGGS, i dont think i know one australian that owns a pair! we all buy fakes, actualy the only person ive ever met with a real pair was an american exchange student who bought them in america, they are just tooooo expensive here!
:)

I just randomly stumbled across your Sydney adventures, I can't believe you did Sydney in 3 days! After that flight it took me 3 days just to feel normal each and every time! The only upside is that jetlag works in your favor going that direction and you're always awake at like 4am ready to start the day. Glad you enjoyed Sydney so much! I miss it terribly in this dreary NW weather.
