A weekend in Sydney

Feels like I have spent every weekend traveling and no time in Sydney.. Tania (one of my friends from the Tassie tour) is leaving Sydney to go back to Portugal so we headed out to do the Spit to Manly walk before she left. The weatherman actually predicted the weather right and you can see from our start of the walk it was cloudy but it cleared up by the end of 10km and we got rewarded with a beautiful sunset. It was a great hike through parts of Sydney's national parks. Definitely the great part of living in Sydney is that you can be in the city and don't feel like you are part of 4 million people since there are great hikes and national parks within the city.

Sunday my cousin and I went to feast on a seafood buffet at Four Point Sheratons. The best part of the buffet was the bugs, prawns and the salmon sashimi. I definitely ate my fair portion and don't feel the need to eat for the upcoming week. However, Fiona and I got talking about black credit cards (or the Centurion card) and she told me the story about the Dutch prince who met his spouse in the Slip Inn in Sydney and lived happily ever after in Copenhagen. Lo and behold as we are walking down to the harbour, we passed the Slip Inn with the placard in the front. One day I will meet my prince with the black credit card as well!
