Sydney Festival 2014, CBD

Soooooooo late I know. Parks are beautiful this time of the year. Trees are alive, the wind is blowing gently and warm weather is kicking up a notch.  

Sydney's festival time this year is headed by Stonehenge; an inflatable jumping castle of sorts boasting massive proportions and a solid 5 minutes of fun followed by another half an hour of waiting.

We also had Jafe Jaffles's sweet jaffle which turned out to be an apple pie with just ordinary ice cream instead of the advertised vanilla bean ice cream. Talk about false advertising. But what's brilliant is their use of filo pastry which gets all extra crispy but I think I'll stick with their savouries next time.

I can't seem to go past Messina's always sense-tingling creations. This time it's a play on carnival treats, even the savoury ones. 

I snag their play on dagwood dog: their messinaweiner. It's like a fried icecream in a sense with all the crunchy bits dressed in a delightful plum sauce. They probably could have laced the vanilla ice cream inside with a bit of chocolate sauce to make it even more fun.

I haven't even began to crack what the rest of the Sydney festival has done this year. And it's always like me to be a bit too late. There's always 2015!

And here's a weird bug that I on the way to our next lunch stop.
