Sydney, the Rocks





A lovely, historic neighborhood in Sydney by the foot of Harbour Bridge, the Rocks is perfect for walking and exploring.  There are lots of cafes, beer gardens, and shops tucked away in narrow lanes and converted old buildings.





Rain became heavy, so we ducked inside Gumnut Tea Garden for breakfast and steaming cups. An 1800's cottage with a pretty yard, this was a cozy little place. Just for a while, we stopped wishing for sun, and enjoyed our freshly made breakfast while rain came down peacefully in the garden.
