Arrived in Sydney early yesterday morning and came to stay with Helen's friends Sheryl and Michael for a couple of nights in Manly. They have a pug called Mack. What a sweetie! We've been doing some yoga, chillin at the beach and sitting in cafes. Oh, and Iwent on a spree in Billabong and bought a new top and some boardies. Missing the surf a bit now cos I picked up something called tropical ear, and so did Helen. Think we got it in Bali. Its basically an ear infection and its AGONY! We went to the docs in Darwin and got some steroid drops and its pretty much cleared up now so watch out Byron! Yesterday we had lunch with a load of Helen's extended family at Doyle's, overlooking the opera house and harbour bridge. I LOVE it here in Sydney, especially Manly, but its our last night here tonight before we fly in to Ballina tomorrow so we're have cocktails and some dinner with Sheryl and Mike. xxxxxxxxxx
