When Jeremie and I are lucky to have a day off together, we like to walk around Circular Quay, a big tourist area. I've been there many times and whether it was a weekend or not, there's always lots of people walking around. There are so many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops to choose from it can make your head spin. The world renowned restaurant Quay, Rockpool, and Aria are all in the neighborhood. Our usual spot is this place called Opera Bar. Named so because it's so close to the Sydney Opera House. The Opera Bar is busy all the time, and there's always live music. Once the sun goes down, the view is spectacular. Being right on the edge of the water, the view of the Harbour Bridge on one side and the infamous silhouette of the Opera House on the other, it's a hard view to beat.

After a big day of walking around, we usually stop by a cafe to unwind. One afternoon, I ordered a banana muffin thinking I haven't had one in a long time. Bad choice. It was dry and had no traces of mashed bananas in it. To top it off, it had a strong banana extract flavour and a few banana chips. My hopes of eating a banana muffin were crushed... or mashed.
