The Rocks is the part of Sydney opposite the main Circular Quay of the Harbour. It is where the original convicts were dumped. It was a dirty, slummy, rat infested part of Sydney until the city fathers decided to make it an 'out door museum'. Now it is the most visited part Sydney. A must on the tourist trail and lots of backpacking hostels near by.
Viviane took me there last night. Friday night is a big night for going out in Sydney. This is the buzzing part of down town Sydney to be. Full of old bars and restaurants. There's a market selling stuff to tourists to take as souvenirs. A lady on stilts, dressed in can-can clothes of red lace and flamboyance is being followed by a man with an accordion playing Moulin Rouge type music. Street barbecues are sizzling, and a buskers is entertaining. The buzzing stops when he adjusts his speakers. It's still busy and bustling.
We found a French restaurant and sat outside. Marvelous.
