The Darling City

So after 2 hectic weeks in Melbourne we arrived in Sydney for 2 even more hectic weeks.
Sydney was also pretty awesome in a different way. We stayed with Deepika Chithi who lives in a very happening location which is a 5 min walk to Darling Harbour. We did lots and lots of sightseeing, exploring and loafing while Deepika was away at work during the day and then when she got back we would go out for dinner at night trying various cuisines! Deepika Chithi was the perfect host constantly finding things for us to do and places to go.
Some of the things we did in Sydney:
- Did the opera house tour.
- Drank wine and ate the best onion rings and potato wedges at the Opera Bar
- Ate by the harbourside
- Visited the Sydney Aquarium ( A first for Zach) and Sydney Wildlife indoor Park
- Took the ferry to Manly beach
- Ate the BEST macaroons ever by Adriano Zumbo
- Wandered around The Rocks ( quaint old area of Sydney)
- Went for Masterchef live which was definitely THE highlight of the trip. Saw Gary, George and quite a few other contestants.
- Got to meet Kate Bracks (Winner of masterchef 2011)
- Visited Taronga ZOo.
- Went on a Sydney Harbour sightseeing cruise
- Went for Jersey Boys - The Musical (which was just brilliant and sooo much fun!)
- Lunch at the famous Doyles in Watson's Bay and checked out Bondi beach.
- Went for a stand up comedy show.

Phewww.. we did all that and some. Was definitely an action packed holiday with not a dull moment. We also met some of Deepikas friends and hung out with them a bit.
Zach enjoyed himself especially at all the kid friendly outings. He saw plenty of creatures in the land and sea variety and even touched a diamond python! :) I was too scared. He discovered tomato ketchup and his new favourite food became potato chips aka french fries! He also loved the strawberries and blueberries! Hmm.. unfortunately I cannot cater to his fancy likes back in India!
