Annika and I made an early start today, off to the big smoke in search of chocolate. Our first stop was in Newtown, I've had my eye on some earrings for a long time. Lucky me the sales were on, 10% off.
Next we inspected the New Westfield complex. I'm not too impressed, it's spacious, more classy than what it replaced but is dark. Is this the new fashion? Annika's eyes lit up when she saw the macaroons so had to have a coffee and hot chocolate stop there.
I needed a new cookie pan for the lemon bar cookies I'm going to make tomorrow. Selected a $13.95 model at Myers only to find it cost $8.65 thanks to a promotional offer. Nice!
After a KFC lunch in the food hall we started our trek to the chocolate bar near the Opera House. I remembered that I needed some tea. Now that I've gone herbal, I'm keen to try loose leaves rather than the bags. At the Tea shop, I bought Camomile (already sipped, it's lovely) and green tea mixed with orange peel which I'll try in the morning. I haven't drunk black tea since I returned from NZ in a bid to reduce migraines. There's a slight reduction but I'm not sure if it's due to the change in tea consumption or the little blue pill I take at night which helps me sleep longer.
On the road to the Opera House, we spied what looked like gravestones on a grassy knoll. On inspection, they're just stones of varying shapes and sizes, not bad for a photo op.
At last we reached the Guylian shop, ordered the fruit plate with dipping chocolate There was fresh pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit and melon. Very nice.
Finished off by watching a street performer do his tricks, juggling a chainsaw and knives and finally standing on a bike up a pole juggling knives, and an apple.
