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 thought to take it easy today, to catch up on our blog. We skipped breakfast and had dinner instead. It was almost like english breakfast. The only missing things were fried eggs and bacon! Daniel popped out to get the newspaper to see if there was anything about l...

Monday 31st Dec We forced ourselves to get up in good time (Good job that we brought our alarm clock with us!) We went ahead to finish off our picnic preparations for our long day in the city of Sydney. We had to catch a shuttle at 11.30am to take us to the spot for our new year eve celebrations.

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,...

Friday 28th Dec Daniel went ahead and booked ourselves seats for New Year Eve Shuttle. We have booked for 11.30am slot and won't be catching the shuttle back till 1am! So it will be a long day for us!! However we are already looking forward to it! As we got up in good time, we decided to visit Palm Beach aka Summer Bay which you may have seen in Home and Away.
