Well well, its been a while since our last update so we will try and remember everything! Here goes....

We picked Mike up at 6:30 a.m on the 12th December, we were staying in a cool hostel in central sydney called WAKE UP! Staying in a 4 bed dorm. Mike was hyper at first but soon fell asleep, so me, han and vik went to the bar and then fell asleep anyway. We toured the sights of sydney, darling harbour, circular quay. Went to Taronga zoo and met some koalas, ferry over was great past the opera house. Also we went to the minus 5 bar, which is a club made of ice, everything down to the seats, glasses!

Dropped vik off at the airport and then come up to Gosford, we had the whole house to ourselves from 16th to 27th!! So Christmas was good, we even went ice skating to get into the spirit! Our Dinner was cold but we had plenty of beer to make up for it! Picked Anne and Moelwyn up and had a few days with those crazy guys! My mum arrived on 29th so weve been doing more sydney and new south wales sights! Hardrock cafe, Bondi beach, Manly beach. NYE was good, we were right next to the opera house but there was no drink allowed so we were all sober! nooo!

We went to the top of the sydney tower, but on the outside, strapped on for safety 260 metres up!!!! Yesterday we went wine tasting in the hunter valley so my mum was wrecked on lots of free booze! :-) So weve got a few days left, the van has gone now, so weve got money for new zealand! Doing the opera house, blue mountains, over the next few days, should be cool. As i type mike is stranded in bangkok with a ladyboy, so im sure hes having a good time.

So weve been really busy and i know ive missed out lots of things! But thats our travelling life!

Happy New Year kids!
