G' Day in Sydney

     April in Thailand, we have the longest holidays because it is Thai new year.  We  are going to Sydney, New Caledonia and Tasmania.

      We arrived Sydney in the morning, checked in The Four Seasons Hotel.  We walked along the Rocks, took pictures with the Opera house while i was waiting to see my old school friend, Lek.  Now, she lives in Sydney.  We haven't met each other for more than 10 years.  I was a bit excited to meet her.  We planned to meet around the Rock and had lunch at "Water Front".  After, we met, we talked, talked, and talked. @^__^@  My hubby was a good listener then.

      After lunch, we walked up to the hill for some sweets.  Lek recommended the "Pancake on the Rocks".  The restaurant was lively and crowded.  We ordered Chocolate pancakes and Crepes.  Crepes was superb!!!  Very rich and delicious!!
    The Museum of Contemporary of Art, Sydney was our next destination.  "Annie Leibovitz" Exhibition is there.  It was awesome.  Don't miss it if you are in Sydney.  She is the American photographer for Vogue, Vanity Fair and so on.  She has taken pictures for many many famous, celebrities and actors.

     The highlight for me was Dinner.  We went to "Rockpool".  My hubby wanted to try the tasting menu which was the 8 courses.  I had asked for some changes because I don't eat quail so I changed   it to be duck and for dessert, I asked for Date pie.  They remarked it was original since 1984.  It was no disappointed.  So Yummy!!
