We went to the Fishmarket where you find all the different sorts of (eatable) fish you can imagine. And plenty of it. Some really really big crabs, which unfortunately have to wait for their buyer in a fish tank, still alive but with their pincers tied up so they cannot hurt the other crabs in the same tank.
We had some delicious sushi as well as some oysters scalloped with cheese. They also sell fruits and vegetables here and there was a really good deal for six really big passion fruits. As we found out later they were really delicious. 🙂
For the afternoon we had booked a guided tour of the Opera House. This was really interesting. We even got the chance to see and listen to some rehearsal of a classic orchestra in the main hall. The inside architecture of the Opera House is – as the outside – really stunning.
For dinner we went to a hidden bar (they are currently totally en vogue in Sydney). It is not so easy to find them as they normally do not look like a bar from the outside and there are not big advertising signs. The first one we went was called Stitch Bar, so the entrance had some old sewing machine to draw your attention. We had some really good burgers here.
The second one was the called the Barber Shop. And this was really a bit more tricky if you wouldn’t no the adress. During the day it is a normal barber shop, but after hours the front door is still open but the shop is poorly lit (so you don’t expect it to be open). At the back of the shop there is a metal sliding door, and once you pass that you enter very stylish bar which serves really good cocktails and gin. We each had an Australian gin with tonic. They tasted both really good.
