unplanned adventure

DH and I slept in, had a nice breakfast at a nearby cafe, then wandered through the city, relishing the views. We got quite lost in this charmingly refurbished old building full of boutiques.

We followed our noses through the Victoria Galleries and found a Lush Shop where I got a bubble bar, and Deb very obligingly posed with Bucky and Bobby. bobby can talk any girl into anything.


We rode the monorail over to the Powerhouse Museum where we met Marc and Janette and enjoyed the Wild Teacozies exhibit, toured a few other exhibits, then hiked off in search of lunch. the first place we stopped didn't appeal so we carried on right off to the Darling Harbor Mall where they had a food court to please anyone.

Janette said, "What would you like to do now?" I had been looking at the map and saw that the Chinese Garden was close so I requested that. OMG Janette and I had fun there! I mean, it's a stunning garden in it's own right, and I will be posting eye-candy shots from there for weeks,


but there was one lovely little pavillion where they had Imperial robes that you could rent for $10, then pose yourself for photos all over the garden.
