four rejuvenating days in Sydney

a weekend in Sydney

on the road again

We love zipping over to Sydney whenever we can. It's never often enough, but seeing War Horse at the Lyric Theater and popping into IKEA were - naturally - great excuses. We stayed at the Swissotel right in the heart of the city, on Market Street {Myer and Top Shop across the street!} - a heavenly spot. Only 20 mins walk to The Rocks, which I love to haunt.

Here is a little glimpse of our weekend which included a must-do breakfast at Sonoma at Bondi Beach. We also spent a considerable amount of time in the mega Dymocks on George Street and I can't wait show you my picture book finds.

Soon, my pretties!

on the home stretch

It's been an incredible month for our family - we're now on the home stretch from 5 weeks on the road - first Europe and now Thailand. We've experienced so much, we're in sensory overload. Our trip has been heartwarming, thrilling, surprising, exausting, emotional, eye-opening, glorious, challenging, delicious and so very special.

I can't wait to take you through each step - I've tried posting photos but a) we've been so darn busy! and b) internet access and time have been short, so I'll start all over again when we get home. So much to share!

During our time away, we have (as most travellers do) become immensely patriotic and grateful. Hearing news reports of the crazy weather - fire and floods - has been heart wrenching and I must admit, has made me pine for home.

As my gorgeous girlfriend Dani also says, coming home and reminiscing is probably the best part of travel. I can't wait.
