The walk down Darling Street from Rozelle to Balmain is easy and always fascinating. The pics here are just a few of the places we browsed. Key words in the Rozelle/Balmain area are gourmet, organic, eclectic and vintage. Don't forget Rozelle Markets either, Saturday and Sundays 9am-4pm at Rozelle Public School.
Next we had lunch to tend to.

woah! I would love to chow down that chocolate Colosseum . ;-) To tell the truth, I have never really been to the inner west part of Sydney. I really have to make an effort to go. It seems like foodie heaven!
