Beaut Mountains and Great Hosts We had been told by just about everyone who worked, lived or visited Sydney that we must go to the blue mountains. We said bye to Amanda and co for a couple of days and took Monica for a drive. Th Blue Mountains, what can I say? Not for the first time and I am sure not the last time that scenery has stumped me with the problem of how to put something so spectacular into words. I am certain there is someone out there with the sk...

James and I were still pretty tired this morning so we stayed in with a; drunk from the night before Ciara, who still managed to rustle up eggs-what a champ, and a slightly less hungover Amanda. We watched crappy TV and stole some program's from Gethin to watch on our laptop when we're alone again, heaven forbid we have to talk to each other! I had planned to meet Sammy O (a friend from uni) at Manly in the early evening. James and I finally dragged ourselves ...

Beth's Missions DONE Amanda had to move her last few bits out and tidy up so we met Corey at the station and everyone got into Monica and said bye to the strange animal (negro) and the presence of Frank as we hadn't actually met him! We were given our instructions for where to catch the train and where to get off from Amanda, Ciara and Gethin. The journey wasn't too long and we got to Bondi beach with ease. It was here I had to complete a task that had been se...

O'Connor's Tours Amanda had the day off today so we (mainly Monica) helped move most of her stuff to Ciara's house. It didn't take long at all so we spent the majority of the day in the centre doing the tourist bits that we had missed the day before. Just like yesterday we did a lot of walking and when you're with Amanda you have to walk pretty fast, there's no hanging about she is off! We went to darling harbour and the Chinese gardens. The gardens were rea...

Anzac Day We had to make a few panic texts to Amanda but we finally found her house in the uber cool area of Newtown. James needed a hair cut so we wandered into town (and to get away from the strange creature living in Amanda's house!). Amanda came back to collect us and after a delicious roast dinner we headed to the famous Sydney harbour for drinks with some lovely folks from high life. We caught our first glimpse of the bridge all lit up on a clear night,...
