Hi there,
Once again apolagies in advance as i feel slighty jaded after a house party last night (well someobne had to show the Aussie's how to party)!
Day 1
Where did I leave u, yes, so a good flight, went v quickly after watching a film (although Claire's tv didn't work) and a few mini bottles of wine, which they originally refused to serve us as we had the same tops on- random! Landed at 6am, was 21 degrees, through customs to have my bag searched as the scanning system detected a trace of food, v eventful- they didnt find anything! Dale Claire's friend was there to meet us (he's a great guy) set off to Gosford, where he lives about 1 hour north of Sydney, he took us the scenic route, through the city, over the harbour bridge, saw opera house so fighted to keep my eyes open to see the sights!
Arrived at his house, decided we were going to make the most of the day and stay awake as long as we could! Dale took us out in his car to see some excellent lookout points. Went to Warrah lookout to see palm Beach- home and Away, (steph got far too excited), Patonga, Hawksbury river and Baronjoey lighthouse. Next stop Marie Byles lookout (seriously fighting to keep my eyes open by this point) amazing views, just just see manly beach and sydney in the distance! Was time for a coffee break, went to a cafe and a walk along the beach, the water was blooooming freezing, I may have to invest in a wetsuit for this surfing malarky! Oh yes, also saw some extremely unfil surfers attemptuing to bodyboard, very unimpressed!! Finally time to head home, via blockbuster and supermarket, just chilled the rest of the evening at Dale's house and an early night!
Day 2
8.30 alarm, to find there had been a massive power cut due to the storm in the night, was going to be out for about 4 hours, took no pursuading to climb back into bed and get a few more well needed zzz's! So plans for the beach had to be changed, headed to a repltile park nearby! Was amazing, saw crocs, alligators, Kangaroo's, Taz devils (which looking likle the Taz we know) and loads more! Was a bonus that the presenter guy was very comical! :-) Then headed back via shopping centre, Dale reluctantly gave in to our pestering, we were in heaven, bought another pair of flip flops! :-) Time to go prepare for house party Dale had planned for us, Chilled the beer, guests began to arrive and we showed themn Aussie's how to party till about 5am- very messy but muchos fun!!
Day 3
Got rudely awoken by lots of Aussies very keen to hit the beach (I'll give them credit they can handle their hangovers) unlike us fairys who couldnt face the sunlight, got rid of them and slept off ourhangover till about 1pm, i know i know what a waste of bathing time! 2.45- time for Miss Carroll's hair appointment, she was going brown, nomore wanting to look like me (i cant understand why?!)! We found a lo0cal pub for a hare of the dog whilst waiting! Very relieved she likes it, new nickname of 'poohead' instead od 'meathead' has eveolved though! tehe, no seriously looks really nice! Currently 6pm here, Dale is driving us to sydney shortly to his Auntie's where we're staying (what we would do without him hey!) and ready to hit the sights of the city tomorrow...can't wait!!
A merry xmas and Happy New Year too all!! x x x
