Today’s ARTsyFARTsy Review:
In Spitting Distance. [Review coming.]
Today’s Kai:
[Breakfast] Ham & Cheese Croissant and Double-shot Latte (why would anywhere serve singles?!) at Jamaica Blue Coffee, Darling Harbour.
[Lunch] A hot dog & OJ, which I ordered with an OTT American accent from a Chinese lady at Lower Concourse, Sydney Opera House.
[Dinner] Affogato & Chocolate-pastry-thingum at the Guylian chocolate shop at Circular Quay, where it was suggested that a massage from the cute waitress might be possible after-hours. :P
[2nd Dinner] Everything on the EGO Ristorante Enoteca menu. Well. Almost. And cocktails. Of course.
Today’s $$$ Spend:
Promising - AUD$40 for Hop-On-Hop-Off open-top double decker bus ticket. Another $50 maybe for bits and pieces - buskers, public transport, snacks and fags. And AUD$500 for dinner. w00t. Would have spent a lot more but for the generous and amazing hospitality from Yana & Yulia, my two lovely - and blisteringly hot - Russian Angels.
Thoughts:
