Happy new year!! It was an incredible way to bring in the new year here at Sydney harbour alongside millions. There was such a great atmosphere the whole day. We were actually very lucky in getting such a good spot, Jen and Mike became friends of the botanic gardens and sorted out tickets before we arrived so we ended up paying $100 each. This meant we rocked up at 4 and by passed the MASSIVE queue to the public areas where people had been stood since the early h...

Merry christmas!!!! Thankyou for your christmas wishes hope you all had a lovely day. It was weird being away from home and family but we had a really good day here. We had lots of fun, it was nice to be with friends and do something different for one year. It was very different that's for sure, although it was raining so it felt a little more like being at home! In the last few days we just did a few supermarket shops in and had a good session at the gym. Chr...

We arrived about midday and had an afternoon chilling on the beach towels with drinks and snacks. Everything...

Yesterday we had an enjoyable day out on the famous Bondi. It was a very hot day but there was a nice breeze around and we had a very refreshing dip in the sea, not going out too deep in fear of sharks! Lots of people were swimming though and with some big waves it was a good fun. We played French cricket with a bat and ball that kept us all entertained for sometime, browsed the gift shops and walked along to the pools for an icecream- mr whippy dipped in chocola...
