D and I had arrived at the hotel quite early. Since C's flight routed via Brisbane, we knew she'd be a couple of hours behind us. After getting settled in at the Park Hyatt, D and I did a little walking around The Rocks, as the area around the hotel is known, and found a place to have breakfast. We noticed there were lots of little restaurants in the area and we ended up trying several places out for breakfast during our stay. We'd have loved to have eaten at the Park Hyatt but since we only had Platinum status (and not Diamond status) our breakfast was not included and we didn't feel like shelling out the big bucks the hotel breakfast would cost.
By the time we were done with breakfast C had arrived and gotten settled into our room. Though we were all tired from the flight, we were determined to do our best to adjust to our new time zone as quickly as possible. We decided walking would do a good job of that so we set out for Darling Harbour, where I knew there were plenty of activities.
Without realizing it, we took a bit of a longer way than perhaps was necessary - but we also managed to avoid the steep hills in the area. We walked along Hickson Road more or less along the waterfront. The map says it's about 2.5 miles each way - our feet begged to differ by the end of the day. Our feet think we walked AT LEAST 10 miles each way. :)
