Happy Easter! I was delighted about 2 things. #1 being that the Easter Bunny left us chocolate when we are on the road. And, #2. That we got chocolate in a Jewish household. Even better, it was chocolate from Haigh’s, my favorite Australian chocolate, no less. For Easter, we sat in the Apple store for Read More …
On our second night in Sydney, we ate at Sushi E. It was, in my opinion, the best sushi I have ever had. They also had the best prawn dumplings I have ever tasted. We are definitely going back.
