The building has beautiful stained glass, intricate tiling, a beautiful domed roof and two beautiful mechanical clocks. So, what would you house in such a beautiful building? You guessed it...uber expensive stores! So, we just spent our time admiring the architecture and left the shopping up to people with bigger bank accounts.
The afternoon was one of the highlights of the trip for me. We took the train from Sydney to Bondi beach where we decided to do a 5km coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee. By this time the sun had come out, but the wind had picked up, which was okay because it kept us nice and cool. The walk is absolutely beautiful. You walk along the coast the entire way and see some beautiful beaches, cliffs, and scenery. The walk probably took us a lot longer than it should because we were snapping pictures every few steps! If you are every in Sydney, we highly recommend going for this walk...you won't regret it!
We were very lucky that we had been invited to a Thanksgiving (that's right!) dinner put on by some friends of James and Jana. Lucky for us, the house was in Coogee, so James and Jana picked us up after we were done our walk. AHH! What a treat it was to have turkey (which you have to order special from the butcher here), mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, veggies, pumpkin pie, and apple pie!!! It was an absolute feast. There were probably about 20+ people there and everyone had such a great time...I should have brought my stretchy pants! It was so nice to be around other Canadians and talking about home.After we were all stuffed on turkey, we were kindly driven back to our hostel where we climbed into bed with our bellies full of delicious Thanksgiving dinner. What a way to end Day3!
