Yesterday Andrew and I went to the city for the afternoon. We had both been craving yum cha again after we’d enjoyed it so much a couple of weeks ago, so we went back to the same place. This time one of our dishes was Shanghai dumplings, and they were very tasty! Just like the ones we had in Shanghai! Yummmm!!!!!
After that we headed to the State Library to go and see the World Press Photo Exhibition, but we took our time getting there. First we browsed the shops at Queen Victoria Building, and one shop had some great pop-up books. I’ve never seen pop-up books so intricate, but then again I’m not that up to date on children’s books. The story was told in little booklets that were stuck to the main pop-up pages, and even those booklets had small pop-ups. Yes, I’m such a big kid, so I bought Alice in Wonderland (though I think Alice looks pretty grumpy in many of the pictures). Anyway, it’s a great addition to our collection of kids books which are always ready (along with toys) for the kids of any friends who might come to visit. 
Next stop was at the Lindt chocolate place where Andrew bought a coffee and we got 4 filled chocolates (for about $7), but they were delicious. It wasn’t far to the library from there, and we spent some time wandering around the photos. Neither Andrew nor I think that the best photo was the one that won the competition, but all the photos were great. I just thought it was a pity that the information about each photo/set of photos was in a small font, which meant we had to get really close to the photo to read it all, and with all the people in the gallery it was hard to not get in the way of those trying to view the photo.
When we left the State Library we walked back to Circular Quay train station through the Botanical gardens. It is such a beautiful place and so relaxing. We really must spend a day in the gardens sometime.
We had a lovely and relaxing afternoon.
