Attempted to have breakfast at this recommended breakfast place, brown sugar, located at north bondi, but we just couldn't find the restaurant at the stated address. We later realized that the restaurant had shifted, such a pity! We had brunch at this restaurant called trio, also located at north bondi. The big breakfast is delicious and well-presented, with sunny side-up, ham, toast, mushrooms, avocado and grilled vegetables. After which, we went to the bondi shopping mall. The delicatessens in Australia are so nice! With cheeses, breads, pastries and all sorts of sauces and dips. They stocked lots of asian foodstuffs too. Headed back to hotel for a nap as William was still recovering from his hospital shift-work for the past 4 days.

After which, we headed for university of Sydney, where William spent 2 years and I spent 1 year studying. It was rather nostalgic as everything was still the same. And the old buildings were so beautiful and full of history. We wished NUS and NTU could like Usyd. In particular, NUS always had some sort of construction going on.

We then headed for coogee beach which was my fave place in Sydney city. Coogee beach links to bondi beach via a 10km walk (I think). Even though bondi beach is more famous and popular, I prefer coogee as its not as crowded and pretentious - you don't see the hordes of topless sun-bathers. There's also 2 very lovely rock pools (outdoor swimming pools) at coogee beach.

For dinner, we went to harry's cafe de wheels, which was located beside the wharf. The filling of the pies were delicious and it was v filling as the pie was topped with a huge serving of mashed potato.
