Chocolate, Nando's and shopping in Sydney

Off to Sydney today Saturday 30th June with Leigh and Kate. First stop was darling harbour and was a lively unlike when I came on my own and rained. Went to the English sweet shop and was nice can try before you buy, bons bons very nice especially lemon. Couldn't believe how much angel delight was $5 and Bassetts Jelly Babies $8. Don't think I will be buying any of those soon. We then went USA outlet shop as had told Kate and Leigh about it. I got a Abercrombie dress only $15 a bargain and the other two also bought things.
Next it was off to Max Brenner the australian chocolate shop. Max Brenner is known as the bald man creating a new chocolate culture. Me and Leigh both got waffles and chocolate sauce and I got a hot chocolate with toffee. We got it as take-away and went to sit in Hyde Park. I was abit disappointed with hot chocolate couldn't taste any toffee. Kate had got hot chocolate with coconut and was lovely. But at least my waffle more than made up for my poor hot chocolate. Hyde park was nice and it made me laugh was on on Elizabeth Street, named after our Queen maybe.. Their was a lovely fountain in Hyde park see picture.
Whilst sat in Hyde park we got a phone call saying mine and Kate's trip to Blue Mountains was cancelled. So next was Circular Quay to book another trip there since it was cancelled. Luckily we managed to get another one but unfortunately not for Sunday was for Saturday 7th. First we checked to make sure weather would be good and said so, so finger crossed.
Then it was off to Nando's to meet Hisako but both me and Kate weren't really that hungry so I just got a chicken wrap. But asked for medium and got lemon and herb which was still nice, but would off preferred medium. Maybe next time their may get it right was just the day for getting wrong things. Me and Kate then went to Rocks market and just made it time as was just starting to shut. We both got a picture of Sydney.
It was then time to heard back home and we met everyone else on train. Everyone else went straight I went to Rhodes shopping to look for picture frame only ikea open had a mount, will have another look tomorrow. I then spoke to mum, dad and nanna the first time spoken to nanna since been gone. Unfortunately the connection was rubbish assumed it was because of bad weather in UK.
