Things have picked up a little in Sydney, still not our favourite place by a long shot but the weather has brightened up and we have seen some more sites. We had lunch with Rose and Allan yesterday then spent the rest of the day with them. We had a great time, Allan gave us guided tour of parts fo Sydney :) and it was really nice to meet some of my relatives that i never thought id ever get to meet! All being well we will be going to see them in New Zealand so that will be great! I think you are right Jode, its soooo different here to what we are used to, having spent so much time in Asia, its very much like home here so i think that puts us off a bit :) Heading to Port Macquarie tomorrow so that should be cool. Mum, i made Garry a chilli tonight and i am now the queen of chilli making, hes says mines loads better than yours lol
