I didn’t think much of the food, but the décor was classy. I’ve also been to the Sydney Aquarium. It was lovely, but a bit too crowded. Yesterday I went on a wine-tasting tour in Hunter Valley and found out they have some of the best wineries in the world. I’m taking a couple of bottles home so I can give you one as soon as I see you. I want to do a cultural activity, so I’m going to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Sydney Opera House.
