Aussies drink coffee and tea all the time. The tea comes from the British tradition, but the coffee drinking is more international phenomenon. Coffee shops are basically everywhere. Besides various brand stores like Starbucks, you can find here heaps of individual owners. As we were told - when you want to make money, open a coffee shop....
Quite a long time ago (sorry for the delay) we visited Aroma Festival of Tea and Coffee in the Rocks (the oldest part of Sydney). As the welcome poster indicated (three out of 6 sponsors were coffee companies), it was far more about coffee than tea.
The Festival was mainly in the streets, where coffee companies were showing their coffee art. First fact we realized after our arrival was that there were looooong queues everywhere. Coffee was very cheap - for 1 $ and so everybody wanted to taste everything.
Second thing we discovered was that you could even move in the streets because of the crowd waiting in front of every stand.
The Rocks district is situated close to the Harbour bridge.
We went there with our friends Kay, Amy, Darja (in the picture) and Mariana (taking it)

Mariana (btw from Slovakia) expresses our impressions from the festival.
So we decided to leave the festival quite early and started to search a pub (Ondra was the leader of this operation).
However, it was still early and everything was closed, so we ended in The Lindt chocolate store.
