Happy New Year to everyone!
Since our last blog we have moved back from Colloroy to Sydney in preparation for NYE by the harbour. Before leaving Colloroy we headed to Palm Beach- the beach famous for the awful Austrlian soap 'Home and Away' and very lovely it was too!
Then we headed back into Sydney and since then have been mostly just sunbathing as it has been roasting the last few days! We spent a day in Hyde Park and a day on the famous Bondi Beach which was heaving. There have been some shark attacks there recently but Sarah was very brave and dipped her little toe in.
Yesterday was NYE and we dragged ourselves out of bed at seven in the morning to grab ourselves a prime spot by the harbour at Macquarie's point. It was already very busy by the time we got there but fortunately two keen girlies got up even earlier than us and bagged us a good space with views of the opera house.
After about two hours of queuing the gates were opened and we spent the next 13 hours drinking and eating a lovely picnic. I had peaked when it was still light but managed to make it to 12... well done me.
The day was really long but the fireworks were amazing and well worth the effort. The only negative was we couldnt share it with all of you.... awwwwww. have a look at the pics and imagine yourselves there... we should have a video of the fireworks up at some point in the future...
I have been asked to inform you that Sarah has a cold so please join me in praying for her speedy recovery... also a sad tragic event threatened to spoil New years eve- my right flip flop has sadly passed away after attempting a steep slope. Flowers and donations can be sent to the usual address.
Love to you all and hope your new years was fun fun fun...let us know on the message board if you get a chance but know it cant be better than Sydney can it.....really?
Ben and Sarah xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
