Our trip back to the Vietnamese Consulate to pick up our passports and visas wasn’t nearly as exciting as our trip there. Since we now knew how to get to the consulate the whole trip took maybe one hour; leaving the rest of the afternoon to explore a different part of Sydney.

A large map hanging in the hotel lobby showed a big park just north of Darling Harbor. We decided to wander across the city and check it out since all of the parks have been impressive.

First, we opted to make a quick detour to the Sydney Seafood Market, and take in the views of the ANZAC bridge up close. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sample several fresh slices of salmon and tuna sashimi (for only $5 USD) before heading to Wentworth Park.

The park ended up being more of a playing field for soccer and rugby then a public garden. Slightly disappointed, we headed back to Darling Harbor to grab a beer, relax in the sun, and write out a few postcards.

We’re still very impressed with Sydney but we’re now looking forward to our trip to the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow.
