Darren and Vicki's Travels
Hi Guys,
Sorry it's been a while - well where so we start - we are in Sydney and it's been a bit of a quick week - mainlybecasue i'm still trying to catch up with time differences ect - still going to bed at 6 and then getting up at unseemly hours in the morning!!!!
we arrived Tuesday didn't get up to much just tried to catch up with sleep although we did manage a wander and yes we are staying on darlinghurst street in kings cross - Darren arranged the accomodation so shall we say it's to his taste!!!!!
Wednesday we took a wander to Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House then another early night.
Thursday - got up at hugly early hour so decided to to put it to a good use, decided to catch the sun rise at the opera house left the hostel at 5:45am we got down to the bridge - missed the sunrise but nice to see. Then breakfast - i managed all the way thorugh the states to keep him away but to no avail here - MacDonalds brekfast was too alluring!!
Decided to go to Sydney Paddy market so wandered over to Daling Harbour - we went to the Maritime Museum - which was really good, then we wandered to the aquarium saw crocodiles, sharks, sea horses - they also have a seal sanctuary there which was well cool.
Managed to get Darren out of the Aquarium and to the markets which were funky - did you know you could purchase the hight of chavness a pink burberry von dutch baseball cap - was so tempted - would be the queen of chav's on my return - but managed to resist the temptation!!!!
The afternoon was spent at Powerhosue museum - which has to be the most wonderful museum ever - Darren and i had so much fun - i managed to find a machine which gave out free chocolaye drops along with explaining all the differences. Darren found a firework simulator - he wasn't chuffed when my firework was better than his!!!!
Friday decided to take it a bit easier - found a cinema showing the da vinci code - excellent movie and then we went to Minus 5 - one out of 6 ice bars in the world!!!! it was well cool - he he - two cocktails later and that was Vicki drunk but darren wasn't so we went down stairs to the russian bar - not a patch on Bar Khol - didn't have as many varities of Vodka.
Darren has found a likeing to Toohey's new and MacDonald have Cafe's here - v. Strange.
Today - (Saturday, i think) we went to the Paddington Bazzar which was cute then we made our way along Oxford Street which had loads of little botique shops which are sooo cool - managed to stay three weeks with out a shopping spree - but Darren encouraged it today - says i dress more manly than he does so 4 dresses later and some gorgeous jewlllery - now who dresses the manly-ness not me thats for sure - although i think i will need to borrow some of Darren's backpack space!!!!
Been in the pub since our shopping spree watching australian football (ithink thats what it's called) and playing pool - the more alcohol i have the better i play - it happens to be the reverse for darren though!!
right i think i have updated everything so far - can't remember if i've left anything out !!!
right it's 7:15 pm way past my bed time.
enjoy the photos - i'm away to bed - although darren is trying to persuade back to the pub to watch the rugby - might be possibly persuaded.
catch you all later.

Good news for all the hearts supporters i hear - and on the celeb thing - Paul you were close with your first guess and Tom yes you will have heard of him - everyone has - he's dead famous and is riddiculed for his religous beliefs - possibly not a relgionat all - now i've went and gave it away - been in the news loads due to personal circumstances and public.
