My next stop (on the bus - The Sydney Explorer where you can get on and off at the many stops) was The Rocks area of Sydney. Now I had been here on several occasions in the past, and I was thrilled to go again. I wandered into the Ken Done Gallery, and noted the Ken Duncan Gallery, and walked through the food market. I found a great button shop (with antique and new buttons) in the Nurses' Walk area of the Rocks. I wandered back and forth, took photos, but just enjoyed the sights and sounds. There were great queues for food in the markets and some great food - though I only bought some wonderful dried fruits.
Cadman's Cottage is right there - and I was impressed to see school children all dressed ready to visit the Cottage.

I walked around reading the information on the buildings and visiting some shops. I went into one shop where a Frenchman
Louis Cardini sells his wonderful leather goods. I was in awe. Sadly, apart from the fact that I was not out "shopping" the prices were above my budget, but Louis was a delight to meet and he clearly is so proud of his amazing work.
I walked on back along George Street to the Pensione Hotel - planning to go out again later, but in the end I decided to rest my worn out feet and legs.
