Marie's Travels
Hi everyone,
Well we are now in Sydney, the weather is already very nice and we are told it will only get hotter! It doesn't really feel like christmas at all, very strange seeing all the xmas decorations and hearing all the carols!
We have a flat here in Sydney until just after new year, we are flying to Melbourne on the 2nd Jan where we will try and get some work and bump up the cash balances a little!
Our flat in Sydney is right in the centre, so is a great location, although we did have a break in the other night when we are all in the house. We are living with 2 others, an irish girl called Ruth and her french boyfriend Cyril. We were all in the house when someone managed to climb up onto our balcony and climb in to the flat, they went into mine and Steph's room while we ate dinner, took our purses and then jumped off the balcony and ran off. Luckily they only seemed to be after cash as they left our phones and ipods etc and threw our purses leaving our cards which we later found under a car. NIghtmare. We have had the landlord install some more security so fingers crossed it won't happen again!
So bad news aside we are having a great time here in Sydney, we have visited Manly Beach, some markets where we could have spent a small fortune, we also had our palms read there which was very interesting.
We went up to the Blue Mountains for a couple of days which was fantastic and we did some walking in the mountains, the scenery was fantastic and we will have some photos on the web just after xmas, so will let you know.
We are now in Hunters Wine Valley, we have also had two nights here, it is great out here and nice to get out of the city for a couple of days. We went on a wine tasting tour which was obviously a great day and stocked up on a few bottles of wine and cheese's for xmas. This morning we both had an introductory flying lesson which was just amazing, we took off and landed the plane ourselves plus a few fancy things in the sky, obviously under supervision but I now have every confidence that I will be flying for British Airways in no time at all! It was an amazing experience! The hostel here in Hunters is great too, the people are so friendly and it has a pool and a sauna not that you would ever venture in there in this weather. Tomorrow evening we are travelling back to Sydney in time for xmas and new year, not exactly sure of our plans at the moment but we are thinking of maybe going to Bondi Beach for xmas day but I will keep you informed!
Anyway hope everyone is ok and I will write more soon! Have a fantastic christmas and new year and miss you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Marie and Stephxxx
