Cairns, Australia: Seafood on the water
Salt House is a modern Australian Restaurant with a great view on the waterfront and was right behind the hotel I was staying at during my time in Cairns, the Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns. As expected for a restaurant on the water in a coastal city, they had an abundance of seafood on the menu. I, of course, started out with some oysters because I always like to get oysters as a starter at a seafood restaurant (and some of the best oysters I've had were in Australia). For my

Sydney, Australia: Cocktails and Food from a Skyscraper
Bar 83 is somewhere that you need to get a reservation in advance for, and for good reason! This bar is situated at the top of Sydney tower and is 83 floors (245 meters/804 feet) above ground level. It is the highest bar in Sydney, and, as such, boasts an incredible view of the city and of the harbor. The bar has a smart casual dress code so be aware of that as well! They have an extensive alcohol menu, but don't worry, they have non-alcoholic options as well such as mocktail

I got multiple dishes that they recommended because this was a birthda

Seeing all of that in real life was breathtaking and made me wonder if that wasn't actually Middle Earth! Now, I love a good tour and I found the best in the business with Red Carpet Tours! I actually had this trip booked since

Sydney, Australia: Opera House Bites
Bennelong restaurant was absolutely amazing, fantastic service as well as fantastic food. How many times do you get to have a meal in a UNESCO World Heritage location? This restaurant is in the Sydney Opera House and is stunning and has great views of Sydney Harbour. There was a three course menu when I was there and I selected the squid risotto, duck, and a pavlova for dessert. Pavlova is apparently the national dessert of Australia but New Zealand and Australia fight about
