Wednesday 2nd January Back to the Collaroy Beach again, hoping to swim in the sea for the last time before returning back to the City of Sydney. Unfortunately on our arrival, the beach was closed due to the dangerous current! We were amazed to see how high the waves were so we decided to go for a walk to see if we can find a better and different spot to sunbathe. Unfortunately on our walk, we noticed that the sandy beach have been reduced in size meaning there...

1st Jan 2008The first day of the year 2008 began for us! We had a very long lie in after long and late celebrations last night. We didn't rise till about 11.15am and it was still dark in our room!

We were told that in the area where we will be viewing, there aren't any shops or ca...

Saturday 29th Dec As Lisa felt better, We managed to get up at decent time but we were being lazy as we didn't leave the hostel in good time, missing the morning again! We arrived at the mall at lunchtime and there were so many shops to look around. It took us at least a couple of hours to get to see all the shops. Daniel finally bought a top that he always wanted and went away happy! Lisa surprisely didn't buy anything as they were too expensive for her liking,...
