Marie's Travels
Hey everyone!
We arrived in Melbourne on Monday morning, after an early flight, we came straight to our new little flat which is nice and homely but needs a good clean, ha ha.
After we got back to Sydney from Hunters Wine Valley it was nearly time for xmas, we headed out for a nice meal at Darling Harbour on xmas eve and then went to meet up with Jemima and friends in Surry Hills and had some drinks. We woke up on xmas morning feeling suprisingly not too bad after our previous late night and jumped straight into opening our presents. We were so happy to have a few things to open. We had our breakfast and then went and sunbaked on Bondi Beach for the afternoon, very strange to be in 40 degree heat on xmas day! It only got hotter over the next week as well.
We visited Palm Beach in between xmas and new year where Home and Away was filmed, we had a hot dog at the surf club and did a bit of sunbathing and swimming. Just as we were leaving the beach after swimming to go and get the bus back to Sydney the lifeguards started running down to the beach and sirens were going off and they were screaming at people to get out of the water, THERE WAS A SHARK!!!!!!!!! How exciting, well only because we were out of the water or I think Steph and I would have been doing more panicing and crying than anything else. We missed our bus while waiting to see a glimer of a shark fin but unfortunately it was not meant to be so we headed back to Sydney on the bus.
The next day was Steph's birthday and being the fantastic friend I am I booked us to go Parasailing over Sydney Harbour, it was great fun, they would every so ofter pull you down from the air and dip you in the water, we were a little nervous about thisand thinking of ourselves as shark bait after the previous days antics! It was a great day for it too, really sunny and hot, great views over Manly and Sydney, we got some photos so will get them on the web soon. In the evening we were planning to go up Sydney Tower for a meal however, I forgot to book and so we headed down to Darling Harbour for a lovely meal, after seeing the bill we headed back to the flat for a bottle of wine instead of hitting the bars.
New Year in Sydney was great, we went to a club down near the harbour with our flatmates and a few others, we headed out to watch the fireworks at midnight on the harbour which were great and then went back for some drinking and dancing antics at the club. NYD was spent doing very little apart from getting ready for our departure to Melbourne the following day.
We are now in Melbourne and are doing a bit of job hunting, a bit boring but unfortunately verynecessary. Hopefully we will get to relax a bit this weekend and maybe make a trip or two. Will keep you posted and get some more photos on the web soon.
Hope everyone is well and Happy New Year to you all!!!
Love Marie and Stephx
