Wednesday - 31st - December
Left Torquay this morning much to our dismay. Mark drove us down to Avalon airport where we had coffee with him till boarding time and then said our goodbyes :( Sat next to a snooty lady who got the hump coz we accidentally sat in her seat. Landing was bumpy and we then got shuttle bus to hotel ibis where we had a double room booked. rather nice. Freshened up and headed to shop to get some food before heading to train station to get train to Mcquaries point where we intended on seeing the fireworks from...only the whole of sydney seemed to have the same idea :( the queue was massive! never seen one so big. so we got in it about 5.30 and queued till 7.30/8.00 when we finally got in. as there was only 2 of us we were ble to find a tiny bit of grqass and plant our bums and have the perfect view! 9.00pm there was family fireworks which were good, then 11.30/11.45 more fireworks, then at 12.00 the harbour lit up., there was fireworks everywhere!!It was amazing and we couldnt believe it. words could not desribe it...and we were so close. perfect!left shortly after and got home about 2.30/3.00 when we watched moulin rouge...our favourite :)
Thursday - 1st - December woke at 10.30, tried to see the UK new year but it wasnt on TV :( Soted out intinerary and left about 4.00 to get dinner, which we had at base hostel. We also found out our itinerary had been changed and included another compulsory overnight stay! bummer.
