Harbour Bridge, Woolloomooloo, IMAX

 Yesterday I took a walk on the Harbour Bridge in the morning. It was fantastic. The weather was nice, the walk was easy, and there were cute guys running with the occasional one glancing back. Teehee. I walked across and back then took the Cahill route to the Royal Botanic Gardens to meet with Hannah, Karissa, and Marianne. I got sidetracked and ended up taking a tour at the Government House. There were no photos allowed inside, but oh my goodness that place was incredibly gorgeous. Especially the dining room and ballroom. I just wanted to dance in there. There was an upstairs balcony where the band would have played. I was immediately swept into Pride and Prejudice and Downton Abbey. Oh gosh it was amazing. It was definitely one of my favorite places I've been to so far. I couldn't keep my mouth closed. The chandeliers, dining table, ornate grandfather clock, and decor were exquisite. I had to refrain from touching everything. After that, I finally met up with the group and we made our way towards Paddy's Market. We stopped by the St. Mary's Cathedral and went inside. I took some sneaky pics but they don't do it justice at all. It was so beautiful inside. The stained glass windows and architecture was mesmerizing

We left and found this nice platform on a pool of water much like a catwalk. Karissa and I Blue Steel'd for the cameras. We got to the markets and found that it was an indoor mall upstairs with a flea market downstairs. There was a ping-pong tournament on the first floor. No big deal. We explored the flea market first. It was huge and overwhelming and looked exactly the same in every direction. Lots of clothes, souvenirs, uggs, makeup, and random stuff. I got souvenirs and a nice dress with a china-like print. I got upstairs and bought a couple things, including the nice silk-like robe I'm wearing right now from Cotton-on Body. I love that store. I had sizzling Mongolian Beef for dinner and it was delicious. They do meat really good here. It's always super tender. Points for cow-shaped plate. I went back down to find the rest of the group and got distracted by three fluffy poodles.

 We met up with Esther and walked to the IMAX theatre. Lauren arrived and we enjoyed Spiderman 3D on the largest screen in the world. It was pretty epic. I took more sneaky pics some of which turned out pretty good. I love Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield is growing on me. I think I may like this one better than the originals. Tobey Maguire was too moody. It was a crazy awesome experience. We left the theatre and explored a bit of Chinatown. We tried Emperor puffs which were kind of like a mix between eggetts and Beard Papas. Nomnomsss
