A last minute Life List (things to do before we leave Sydney)

Bathers Pavilion, Balmoral, Sydney

As you know we are off to Middle Earth to live for a year and start our new 2013 Life List adventures.

But before we leave Sydney, I want to do things that I had been planning to do for AGES but wasn't able to.

So here is my 'Sydney Last Minute Life List' (must be completed by mid February):

• Go to Cornersmith and finally have the Ploughman’s lunch
• See the Sydney Festival Rubber Duck
• Take in as much Sydney Summer sun as I can
• Go to Balmoral Beach one last time and have the amazing fish n chips from Bottom of the Harbour
• Go to the Opera Bar and take in the amazing views of Sydney one last time (also go to the new el_loco at the House and do one last search for the perfect Margarita)
• Try at least 3 different Sydney Food Trucks
• Visit all my favourite 'My Place' locations one last time...
• T.I.M Products = Have the Galaktoboureko
  
• Frango Chicken Shop = Eat the best Portuguese charcoal chicken in Sydney one last time
  
• Sweet Belem Cake Boutique = Gorge on the scrumptious Belem Portuguese tarts 
• Paesanella Cheese = Make my famous Ricotta Gnocchi using the ricotta from here
• Bourke Street Bakery = Stuff myself one last time on their amazing sourdoughs, Bacon, Gruyere & Leek Quiche and Pork & Fennel Sausage Roll.
• Alpino Gelato = Eat so much of their Cassata (Tutti Frutti) gelato that I am sick
  
• Pork Roll = Eat one last Bánh mì
• Try some more of the great Black Sheep cocktails
• And have one last Yeeros from the Yeeros Shop on Victoria Road (the best Yeeros outside of Melbourne)
  

I know its only a year that we will be away for, however I know that these are the things I will crave and make me very Home Sick.

I will also have to change my Life List item #45 and change it from 'discovering the amazing things about Sydney' to 'discovering the amazing things about Wellington'.
