Sydney Adventures

Saturday June 11
After a great breakfast and time with Sam and Tahlia (did I mention she likes kitten and believe in faeries=a keeper). we, Julie and I went up to Newtown, the fun funky inner city shopping area. We ate, and Ronda, we almost had an Albanian bathroom moment-I have video...,

View at the Pastizzi and Pastry Cafe in Newtown

How you buy furniture! It was a labrynth!

At each crosswoalk there is this big button that has a tapping sound coming from it
so that blind people can hear it. You push it, then when the crosswalk is clear it makes a churp and louder beeping sound telling you to cross.

The old Brickworks taken from King Street, Newtown

Great Indian Store, they had great spices and henna stuff it smelt beautiful
you could buy sari's and bolts of Indian silk.

cool old suitcases outside an antique store, see people I knew I was onto something.

Owl Undies, every Chi O needs them

At the Pastizzi store, you could buy them to take home and cook

 Then we headed into the city to Circular Quay to see the art/light installation "Vivid".It is a little winter festival every year. Hopefully I can post pics and videos.
