Happy New Year!! We hope you all had fun celbrating and was great to speak to some of you over christmas and new year!
We arrived in Sydney last week and have been having a fantastic time. Our hostel is great and gives us chance to cook instead of going out for meals all the time which is a very welcome relief. The hostel is only about 20mins from the city so is perfect.
Since we arrived we've been doing lots of sight seeing around the city and its hot spots. It was quite strange standing next to the Opera House and the Bridge, as they're such famous landmarks, we couldn't quite believe we were there!! The Royal Botanical Gardens were also beautiful and well worth a visit.
A few days ago we met up with Andys cousin. They haven't seen eachother for 25years so it was quite strange and yet great to meet up with him. What a lovely guy and we had a good evening catching up.
We've also spent a number of days on Bondi Beach, soaking up the sun, sea, sand and he waves which are great fun - we've nearly drowned a number of times!! We're here again today cos its so much fun. We both want to learn how to surf but i think we'll have to wait a while as we're running out of time here!
We have spent a number of evenings with Polly, Tamsin and Andy - they've shown us the local night spots and we spent a fantastic New Years Eve with them - the photos say it all!! We went to a bar/club for the evening and popped out down to the harbour to watch the 9pm and midnight fireworks which were great, i'm sure you all saw them on TV - bigger and better than ever as its the 75th anniversary of Sydney Bridge. We didn't get home until 5.30am on New Years Day, so the next day was spent recovering!
Yesterday we went to The Ashes to see England play. We had a great day and was a fantastic experience, even though England are losing!!
We're moving on to the Blue Mountains tomorrow for a few days and then back to Sydney for a couple of days before we go to Uluru/Ayres Rock.
Keep the messages coming, we love hearing from you all.
Take care
Claire & Andy xxxxxxx
