Yesterday we went off to discover the Rocks. We have been in the touristy part before, but realised last week, when looking at it from the other side of the water, that there was more to see. We found an elegant looking wine cellar at the far end of Kent street, Some really nice old town houses with water views, converted shipyards into apartments we can't afford and then we wondered through the weekend market down to the quay.
There were several people doing the Harbour Bridge climb, where they walk on top of the arches of the bridge. Maybe we'll fit that in one day.
We had lunch at Peter Doyle's fish restaurant. They asked if we wanted a long or a short lunch, and we thought short - which was 2 hours. However, we stayed much longer. For the first 2 hours we had a waterfront table with a view of both the Opera house an the Harbour Bridge. We spent those hours in the sunshine with a sample starter and a bottle of Semillion, followed by Barramundi & Lobster accompanied by a bottle of Chardonnay. Unfortunately at this point our 2 hours were up and we got moved to a table with a less interesting view. We then finished off we a cheese plate and dessert wine before heading back to the flat.

This is a very good example of a Lazy Sunny Sunday Afternoon.
