Day 33

So friggin' hot today. Was the worst day ever to be trudging about hot asphalt. Started from the Customs House in Circular Quay, into the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), through The Rocks, under the bridge, through the wharfs, back into the Rocks and finally, into Guylian cafe. The Rocks have a long row of pubs, most backpackers and uni students pub hop...slowly regressing to a pub crawl by the end of the night. No drinks for us today, which was probably good considering I've had 3 jugs of water since I got home but not had to go the toilet yet. Yes, it was ridiculously hot today. Incidentally, don't go to the Guylian cafe at the rocks, $10 for an iced coffee,overall bad and expensive pastries, when you can get far better at the Lindt Cafe.

Day 24

Got really really excited to go jump off the rocks today..and then realised the tide was so low that it exposed all the rocks around the pool. Later found out the water was thigh high. Not good to do flips into...

But water was at its lowest point, so decided to walk around the giant rocks bordering the pool since they were all exposed. Halfway around, I could hear some tourists laughing at me because they couldn't figure out how I'd get back. Unfortunately because it was only me and 3 of them, I could clearly hear them, which disrupted the serenity of the place.

Anyway made it all the way around, the last part I just walked into the water since it was only thigh high. Swimming was difficult as certain parts were only 6 inches deep! Next time I'm going during high tide :p High noon.

Day 3

Jogged down today, was good to get out. Explored the rocks at the bottom of the cliffs, wasn't as unexplored as I hoped as there was some grafitti and a broken bottle, but I'll be back. I have to go see Sculpture by the Sea before it finishes this weekend!
