We visited Pancakes On The Rocks January 2024. It’s located in the beautiful and oldest part of Sydney called The Rocks. The restaurant is located upstairs, not too hard for those with bad knees, and when you arrive at the top, the place is wide open and inviting. It smells so good and fresh. It was bright against the brown wooden booths and tables/chairs. The floor as well as the booth were clean. Even the bathroom was clean and inviting! Upon entering, we were promptly greeted and seated. The waitstaff doesn’t take your order, you have to scan the QR code. It was very easy to place our order. Our ordered was quickly delivered by the waitstaff. I ordered the pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Everything was cooked to perfection! The pancakes were dense but not dry. They were flavorful and delicious. The bacon was chard but the parts that weren’t were good and tasty. My eggs were scrambled exactly as I like them. I highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a hearty, delicious, and memorable breakfast!! In fact, the food smelled so good, I started eating and then realized I didn’t take a picture… It was that delicious!!

We visited the Powerhouse Museum (Darling) on January 2, 2024. Because Sydney is a very walkable city, we walked there after we finished visiting another museum. This one in Darling is near Chinatown / Paddy Haymarket. The cost was free which made it even better! The museum was amazing. I loved the various exhibits with a focus on steam engines. It was fascinating how the use of steam powered so many things from a printing press, to a fire engine. They also had various instruments on exhibit as well. We met a wonderful employee that provided in-depth information. If you love technology from the past, you must visit! I also encourage anyone with children to visit too. They had a cool exhibit for the kids.

I love the Shaker Towne Centre. It's close to my home and the plaza has a variety of stores that I shop; from Heinen's, The Loft, Burgers Ace Hardware, Dollar Tree, and others. The plaza is well maintained, safe, and diverse. Just yesterday, I was at Heinen's & Ace just the yesterday.
