Hey everyone,Wednesday we spent the day at the Botanical Gardens. We both took lots of pictures of all the flowers (especially for you Mum B, but not as good as yours), tho we were suprised that not that many plants were actually in flower. We did stumble across a lizard waiting on a path for us, he almost smiled for our photos! We saw all the bats roosting in the trees in the gardens, there were literally thousands of them there. They have really ruined some of ...

Moved to the Pink House in the afternoon which is in the Kings Cross area of Sydney, and yes its like Kings Cross in London...

It clouded over a bit but didnt rain and the break from the harsh sun was welcome to...

It was worth waiting for though, they were amazing, i have never seen foreworks like it, the photos don't really do it justice. They were so so so many people as well, you couldn't move! Everyone was in good spirits though and it was a good night. Plan of action for today is just to chill really, get our bearings and start to plan the next leg of t...
