There was only one thing for it, brunch in the city followed by some browsing through a museum. Initially we headed to the old post office on Martin Place (you know, near the moronic plate glass window of the Channel 7 news studio) but since we were last here it's got posher and even the paper in the public toilets is now quilted, so we felt a bit shabby in our wet coats and decided City Extra would be a better bet for comfort food.
At City Extra I couldn't decide between bacon and eggs and pancakes so chose the Canadian breakfast, as this incudes both on the same plate and if you've never toiled to keep your egg yolk separate from your maple syrup then well, you've never lived, though it's alarming when you get it wrong because bacon and maple syrup just aren't meant for each other, not even in Canada.
Afterwards we walked up MacQuarie Street to Hyde Park and across to the Australian Museum, which is where I'll take you right now if you read on.
