A Day In The Life: A Walk Through Sydney

I took a trip through Haymarket and other parts of the City of Sydney and I have to say, I live in an amazing city. From the architecture to the people, there is so much to see all around you.
So I decided to show you guys what I saw on my trip around Sydney a couple of days ago, starting with of course Central Station.

I love the look of the Central Station Sandstone Clock Tower with it's beautiful architecture and aura of sophistication.

Next to the station is Belmore Park which provides a bit of an escape from the hustle bustle of the station. 

Arriving in Haymarket on the other side of the park presents a while different vibe with the quirky attractions in the midst of the chaotic streets. One of these is this awesome sculpture just after the Capitol Theatre. 

(I obviously wasn't the only one who thought to take a picture...)

I've never seen anything like this. It's a tree with gold around it, giving it an almost enchanting look. 

Going down Dixon Street into the heart of Chinatown is like entering an alternate universe. Crossing the arch of Chinatown, you're enveloped in the cool and dark illuminated only by the shop and restaurant signs. The canopy of leaves offers shelter from the harsh sunlight, adding to the crisp, autumnal air with their falling leaves. 

Two blocks down, sandwiched between al fresco dining and a Chinese restaurant is N2, a unique ice cream parlour which has been garnering quite a bit of attention in its Sydney and Melbourne locations. It's uniqueness lies in the fact that the icecream is made using liquid nitrogen in unique and adventurous flavours. 

After tasting their Butterscotch Pecan Pie flavour, I have been turned into a believer of the hype. It's intense nuttiness of the pecan brittle, paired with the sweetness of the icecream forms a marriage made in heaven.

Reaching the end of Dixon Street and strolling by the Chinese Garden of Friendship, we come along Tumbalong Park which has become a mecca of entertainment for children as well as adults with a playground as well as restaurants down the side of the walkway. Amongst it all is a very particular and beautiful carousel which I was intensely excited to take a picture of. 

Between the twinkling lights and serene music, one is immediately swept away into the fairy tale of carriages and price Charmings it emulates, and yes I had a ride. 

Only a stone throw away is Darling Harbour in all its simplicity and serenity. 

Strolling along the Pyrmont Bridge on my way back to Town Hall Station for the commute home offers a spectacular view of the city lights, cars bustling as people make their way home at the end of a long day. 

In true Aussie fashion, the day is not complete without being completely soaked in rain after deciding not to bring an umbrella as I leave the train station to go home. Ces la vie, I suppose.

Love,
