We then enjoyed Crunch and Sip in front of the steps of the Museum of Contemporary Art. After this we walked around Circular Quay β΄οΈ, heading towards the Sydney Opera House to have recess on the steps, looking out at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We then took off on our walk πΆπΌββοΈ, through the Botanic Gardens π³, past the Art Gallery before having lunch in the Domain.
