last weekend...

Australia Day long weekend ~ i had the most relaxing long weekend ever, no late nights, no partying and lots of sleep.

The weekend began with an awesome catch up with my cousin May Ching, who I'm enormously close to, but haven't seen in years. We started with dinner ~ yummy lobster mornay @ Blue Fish ~ and finished with durian ice cream @ Passionflower, and you've already heard that story!










Friday ~ Oz Day ~ blessed again with superb weather, we checked out The Rocks where there were 5 stages of free music, including awesome local artists such as Alex Lloyd and The Whitlams.






























There are always a myriad of things to see & do around Sydney - we enjoyed the music, strolled through markets, stopped for a coffee at a heritage cafe, and wandered through the botanical gardens. As the sun set, we parked ourselves on the steps of the Opera House to watch the tennis on the big Amex screen.










After the match, i was starving, and what better way to satisfy my hunger than with a... cheeseburger. yummmmmm!!!

The rest of the weekend was brilliantly low key. Not to say it was boring at all though. Amongst the highlights were:

• having my red streaks redone *yay!*
• devouring the biggest steak sandwich @ Citrus
• Kirribilli Markets ~ always a favourite!
• sushi train, cold rock & a romantic stroll around sydney at night... my ideal date!
• and last but certainly not least - lamb cutlets for dinner on Sunday, with gallons of mint jelly!
• oh, and did I mention lots of sleep??
