Wow. There is one fabulous, multi-story mall after another, for blocks and blocks along George and Market Streets -- and more after that, we just didn't have the energy. Lindsay found some cute outfits, we checked out the "largest needlework store in Sydney" and even went to a golf store. We had considered going to the top of the Sydney Tower but decided that we had really seen those views from the top of the bridge and so decided to pass. We walked up George street back to The Rocks area and returned to our hotel for a post-shopping rest.
We had plans to meet Kevin at the highly-recommeded bar in the Shangri-la Hotel nearby. This is the bar on the 36th floor with the fabulous views. So we dressed up a bit, picked up Kevin in the lobby, and made our way to the hotel. It's true, that bar and restraurant have wonderful views of the harbor. We were able to look down on the bridge and show Kevin where we had been the day before!
After finishing the most expensive drinks of my life, I was going back to the hotel to relax and get organized a bit -- and Lindsay and Kevin were headed out on the town. On the way to dinner at the Argyle in The Rocks, they saw a vending machine that sells simple, flat shoes for girls whose feet hurt from their high heels! I guess you put in your money, press the buttons for color and size, and out pop the shoes! Dinner was good, now time to have some fun.
Kevin knew of a place in Darling Harbor where they could go bowling -- yes, bowling. Lindsay says it's a very cool place, like a nightclub with bowling lanes! Lindsay lost the match, but had a lot of fun. They walked around the harbor and finally called it a night when everything closed!
Kevin lives on the other side of town, near Bondi Beach, but was able to catch a bus and save the taxi fare!
A late night for everyone -- it will be hard to get going in the morning!
