That's one of the reasons we took our New Zealand trip so suddenly. The routine of life can really make this Australian working holiday feel more like work than holiday. It's the reason we're trying to do something new each weekend.
Today, we started the day with a walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
There were plenty of runners out, but the pollution from the traffic beside the pedestrian walkway was really too much. I wouldn't ever want to run the bridge mid-day, but I am thinking of taking an early morning run by the bridge.
Across the bridge, you walk into a suburb called The Rocks.
There was an open air market on today--food, clothes, souvenirs!
They built a temporary windmill here just for kicks.
They hold workshops, concerts, and demos here. Today they had a talk about how windmills do useful stuff like grind grain into wheat.
As we strolled around, I got this:
There was a fresh juicing stand and for some reason Steven let me "build" my own juice.
It was disgusting: apple, lemon, grapefruit, carrot, kale.
Still, I drank it all because it was healthy, and I didn't want to be sick again.
I also saw this:
The cone-shaped frostings were very interesting, but I didn't get any. I don't have much faith in Australian cupcake makers. No one can compare to my forever love: Prairie Girl Bakery in Toronto.
After we grabbed some lunch, Steven and I went to Sydney's Sea Life Aquarium and saw my new favourite animal: The Dugong!
He was chowing down on some delicious lettuce.
Steven thinks I like them because they eat the same meals I do:
But it's not true. Not the eating part...yes, I do eat a lot of lettuce, but the reason I like dugongs is because they're huge, gentle, cute and cuddly.

Steven wouldn't buy this for me because he says we should spend our money on silly things like vacations and food.
Great day in Sydney! What are you doing this weekend?
By the way, a new New Zealand post will be up soon! Stay tuned!
