Day Three - and 70% of my Sydney tour was almost over except to taste a kangaroo steak!

This time, I walked 2 blocks from the hotel to catch the Sydney Explorer Bus at stop #6.  Went to King's Cross (stop #9) and visited the Jewish Museum. It was a very interesting experience as I finally believed that the German's did the holocaust simply to kill the Jews.  The core perpetrators of the Holocaust apparently were lawyers, doctors, ordinary Germans who just hated the Jews.

Also, I had to go to King's Cross as Iguana Bar was located there where part of their menu was kangaroo steak.  Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed for renovation so I just hopped on the bus again and went to Woolloomooloo Bay, stop #10.

At Woolloomooloo Bay, one must try the tiger pie at the famous Harry's Pie.  It was made of stuffed stew beef topped with mashed potato and mashed green peas with gravy.  An Australian naval base is also stationed at the bay.

While waiting for the bus, I grabbed a beer at Woolloomooloo Bay. Next stop was Mrs. Macquaries Point where you can have another picturesque spot of the opera house's other side.

Didn't have anything to do and it was still early.  So I decided to go back to stop #21 at the Maritime Museum.  Too bad the submarine was closed for public viewing as it was set to be dry docked for repairs. Took a stroll along Darling Harbour and saw Meat and Wine Co. Restaurant.  My tourist curiosity kicked-in and such a glimmer that I saw kangaroo steak in their menu!

The steak was very tender with a very unique taste.  It was difficult to compare with lamb or beef.  I thought it was a bit similar to water buffalo meat but much much tender.

From the restaurant, took a last glimpse of Circular Quay and took the train back to my hotel!

Now, off to my homeland - The Philippines!
