An Excursion to Rozelle

Continuing our tradition of finding fun places to visit on Saturday, we took a trip to the Rozelle Markets today.

It's kinda fun comparing the different markets up here. Glebe is pretty hippy and has a fair range of hand-made stuff; Paddington feels a little more 'proper', there's more 'nice' stuff; and Rozelle is full of second hand stalls. They're all in lovely settings, too. All worth a visit.


We found some cheap kids books, some baby clothes, and some cheap CDs. There is a vast array of second-hand miscellany: the sort of stuff my folks would love, I reckon. We'll have to take you there :)


Just across the road from the markets we stumbled across Belle Fleur Fine Chocolates. This whole 'fine chocolates' obsession seems to be developing into something of a theme for us...


We just grabbed a bar of milk chocolate and kept exploring, but we didn't leave before we noticed this little creation. Or should I say, this monstrous chocolate coffee grinder. It's entirely chocolate, and it's, I dunno, about 400mm high! Huge. It's not for sale, either.

I imagine we'll make it back to Rozelle sooner-or-later. But for me, I think Glebe is still my favourite, not least because the Glebe Markets remind me of Salamanca - but without that South American band ;)
