Last Night in Sydney
End of week 3 and my last night in Sydney was here. We'd had a presentation with the client earlier in the day, which went off pretty well, so all the sleepless nights of the week became kinda insignificant. As a celebratory cum farewell dinner, the client and our team went out... and it turned out to be a complete girls' night out!
We went to this place called Cafe Sydney - one of the newer and apparently very popular places in Sydney. You apparently have to book quite a few days in advance. The restaurant is located on the 4th floor of the Sydney Customs House and is a perfect blend of old meets new. The Customs House - a building made in the 1800s - has been redone from the inside and has a public library. The interiors are very intriguing and include lights created out of newspapers!
What is most striking though, is a glass floor beneath which lies a miniature model of the city of Sydney. The floor is also strategically lit up at places so that you feel like you're walking over the city skyline! So, you can stand on top of the Opera House or walk over the Harbour Bridge!!
On to the restaurant itself, Cafe Sydney is on the rooftop of the Customs House with a fantastic view of the city! Sitting on the terrace you have a wonderful view of the water, the city skyline all lit up, lights reflecting on the water, trains and cars passing parallel to each other, minus the accompanying sounds! And then there is the Opera House, and its white light reflecting against a dark sky and the well-lit harbour bridge on the other side.
The evening ended with a total binging on some 4 types of desserts: a three-layered trifle, apple and rhubarb pie, lemon custard tart and a to-die-for chocolate brownie with hot fudge... A perfect way to end a long and stressful week, and a wonderful last night!!
