This weekend, two of my roommates are gone to a surf camp. This leaves me and Yazi on our own, and luckily, this means that we both get our own bedrooms! Friday was the first day that I had seen sun in almost a week! Seeing that, I decided to invite Yazi on a ferry ride to a point on a map that I thought may be interesting to explore (not with Yazi, of course, but to explore with the man back home that is on our mind (Jon, for her, and a secret someone for me!)): Kissing Point.
Unfortunately, Yazi had to run to CAPA and work to fill out some paper work, so I tagged along to take care of some SRC stuff, and then we were going to head out when we were both finished. Unfortunately, on the way to CAPA, the clouds rolled back in and overcast it became. Shucks. We both decided that Kissing Point would be better to do in the sun, so we postponed the plans until a later date.
The day didn't turn out to be terribly interesting. We walked around Circular Quay (pronounced Key) a bit and took in the sites, and then explored more of the CBD. Circular Quay is where all the ferries depart from and resides between the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House. There were sites, there were little souvenir shops, and many restaurants. As soon as we got off the train, a gelato place caught our eye and we promptly returned for a $5.00, single scoop gelato. Mmmmm, it was delicious, and we will be returning! There was a restaurant right in Circular Quay that has a breakfast on Sunday mornings consisting of (primarily) pancakes. Sunday, Yazi and I intend to get pancakes in the Quay, board a ferry, and arrive (an hour later) as Kissing Point. We joked about sticking around to watch the sunset at Kissing Point, but that may be pushing it a bit too far!
All in all, a very uneventful day. While walking through the CBD, I bought myself a new trench coat for a whole US$20! I'm so sick of wearing the same coat every day, and it doesn't appear that I'll be able to ditch my jacket any time soon. Alas. Total walking time: 7 hours.
