I have had a week off from blogging due to sever Gastro, but now I am back and want to
finish my Tourist Tuesday series on our visit to Sydney .
After the Botanical Gardens we went to the State Library of New South Wales, where for the first time,
Head On Portrait Prize was exhibited along with several other shows. The Head On Photo Festival was on in Sydney from 17 May - 23 June 2013 .
Justin entered the Head on
Portrait Prize competition, and while he did not win, it was still very exciting
to see his portrait on show in the State Library. Plus the State Librabry is any book lovers heaven. Wow!
After viewing Justin’s image
at the State Library, and the others on show, we walked down to the Harbour
and had lunch with one of the most spectacular views anywhere in the world. We also, took the opportunity to take photos of ourselves taking photos.
Weariness set in after lunch in the sun, so we trained it back to
our B&B for a much needed afternoon nap.
Justin and Jarvis both
enjoyed a nap, and boy! Both of them can snore! We woke up and walked up to
Crown Street. Crown Street, Surry Hills is filled with restaurants and
shops, and a convenient playground for the kids. Jarvis had a play in the park. When it got too dark to see, we crossed the road and had a delicious dinner at In the Mood for Thai.
The original plan was to head
back to the harbour, after dinner, to see the Light Festival; however, Jarvis had
another exploding bowel movement that ended up all over the both of us. Hmm, so
no lights and no desert. Back to the B&B for showers and a spot of major
hand washing.
