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!

lunch at Westfield on Pitt Street, with Sydney Tower through the rainy glass ceiling;
a must-gobble is Din Tai Fung for the most authentic dumplings you'll find outside Beijing

at Sydney Lyric Theatre, waiting to see War Horse; yes, it's worth it
