the Chinese gardens are beautiful.........you don't feel like your in the middle of a city...........they dressed the girls up in Chinese costumes - they thought it was wonderful.........more photos here

Terrific photos. I've been to the same places. Lucky it wasn't cloudy when you went to see the three sisters. It sounds like you went to the Lindt cafe. What a fun time.
Delish! Glad you have been out and about again - lovely pics, but what about the haul?

You really live in a beautiful country.
You have an unfair advantage... I have to go out all day today!! You'll beat me. I just know it! ;) Glad that you had a nice time away!
Lovely photos....those pancakes look good enough to eat thru the screen! And 7 shops, when do we get to see the goodies?
Sounds like a lovely break away.
