With our bus to Melbourne tonight we spent the day packing and cleaning the apartment. We've had a great month living in Sydney, we just can't believe how quickly it has gone! We are both going to miss the apartment, with its beautiful views and location as well as having our own place but time to move on and fall in love with another place! To save money we got a bus to Hyde Park and then walked the rest of the way to Central Station, rather than getting a taxi...

As soon as the fireworks ended, with a fantastic waterfall of fireworks off the harbour bridge, everyone started charging back towards the gate, the race was on for the public transport home! We were lucky and found the 333 bus to get us back to Bondi. We got back to the apartment and both rung home. It was really weird as they were still in 2008!! We were calling from the future lol. We went to bed around 3.30am, we were so tired. We both slept really well and...

Nick has spent today planning a route around the spots from the film so we can do that at some point before we leave, I wasn't feeling too well today so we didn't go today. Nick's looking forward to his birthday and the massive NYE we have got tomorrow, I have spent the day winding him up about his present, always fun! We did quite a bit for USA today. As I m...

We needed to do some food shopping today ready for our day of camping out on Nick's birthday/New Years Eve. To get a good spot for the NYE fireworks down at the harbour they say to get there before midday so we went to get some bits for a picnic. After waiting ages for a bus and them all passing us as they were full we decided to walk to Bondi Junction, it actaully wasn't that bad at all, made us feel lazy for getting the bus all the other times! After shopping w...
