    • We found that most of the shops in Sydney's shopping districts didn't open till late. We found most of them shut at 10am. Nor did they stay open till late. We did find it a little strange and a bit frustrating when trying to fit shopping in around sight seeing.

    • On Sunday mornings on Kings street in Newtown you can find a man selling religious trinkets outside of a beautiful old Greek church. The gentlemen was more then happy to tell us a little bit about the items he was selling. He showed as pictures of a convent in his home town where the items were made by priests. He was selling many of the evil eye charm which I collect. After we purchased a few small things he invited us inside to take a look around. The walls were covered in gold embossing and there were murals on the ceilings and alter painted in rich blues, reds and yellows. The pews were carved in ornate patterns and there were candles everywhere. It was truly beautiful.
