Sydney Markets

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

If traveling to Sydney on Saturday or Sunday, be sure to visit at least one of the city’s many markets. Paddy’s market in Chinatown offers the usual gaudy trinkets, while the upscale market in Paddington (on the grounds of a gorgeous historic church) provides access to loads of local artists, fresh produce, and trendy one-of-a-kind clothes. Today, I’m headed to The Rocks in hopes of finding some more original artwork. Afterward, it’s off to the nearby Sydney Fish Market where visitors can sample a variety of fresh delicacies, like mudbugs and prawns. Yummy. I can’t wait! Best – Elizabeth

Love it! Happy Holidays – Elizabeth

Quote of the Day - Elizabeth: Did you just see that sign for "Colon Hydrotherapy"? Carrie: No, but I experienced that once while wakeboarding. (Insert hysterical laughter here.)
