Breakfast

So let me tell you what's on this plate...I'll preface by saying that on our second day in Sydney we made our way downtown, and figured the city out. This was our $5 breakfast - called either a traditional Irish or Australian breakfast, depending on where you looked. This includes: toast, eggs, a sausage, roast tomato, mushrooms, bacon and beans, and a beer. Yep, that's bacon, right next to the sausage. Wow. Pretty awesome, and very good for walking the city for the rest of the day. I had no idea. Perhaps the beginning of our trip will not be the slimming down part of our trip - I'm just saying. It is unseasonably rainy here from what people are telling us, but it is allowing us to become accustomed slowly to our new schedule. We are still waking up at 5:30am. So we are going to sleep pretty early. We liked the bar across from the hostel, and spent a rainy afternoon drinking some Victoria Bitters, and Tooheys (two excellent Australian beers), and playing our travel Scrabble. I would also like to add that this is not Alison's food of the week post, I (Rachel) wrote this as Alison's thumb, is hurt...aka: bruised, fractured, something to that nature which we are not sure. She is fine, but nursing a bum thumb.
