Well hello all, its been a long time since we have updated the blog so now im going to have to try and remember what we have been up to, with all the alcolhol ive drank over the past few weeks its all a bit of a blurr but i will just tell you what i remember!!! Well i can remeber that mandy and gouldings came over to stay with us and it all sort of went downhill from there getting very messy everyday while they stayed with us, it was good to see the big bold fella before he headed off to perth to start his new life, good luck Mr Gouldings!!! I also finished work at Informa in the city, id only been there for three months but i made some really good mates they all made me so welcome and lunchtime drinks were always a right bonus, me and erin were very lucky getting the jobs and to work with the people we did, so if any of you read this you made Sydney that little bit better for us and we hope you stay in touch!! The guys and girls from Informa gave me a good send off with a huge alldayer on the cards topped off with a few bars around the rocks, it was all good, now it was back to the travelling and no work for me for a long while!! The week after my mum and dad arrived from England so we went to meet them at the airport , with erin holding up a big ned flanders sign at arrivals for my dad!! Thet would be staying with us for a few days before we moved out of our flat in bondi, my mum hated bondi, but we made the best of it with me and my dad sneaking out for a quick pint here and there and had a few wicked meals! Next it was erins turn to leave work i knew there would be heavy waterworks as she had made some brilliant friends there too so to Ash, Karla, Ho Bags, Claire Troy and the rest of you there at Dieageo thanks very much she loved it and will miss you all and i appreciated every friday night Free Bar after work session it always made my week!!! Stay in touch guys, PS Ho Bags im going to destroy your mums toilet when i get over to New Zealand!!!! Saturday, what a day! Mark had booked us all into Aria restaurant in Circular Quay, its really famous and the bloke who owns it Matt Moran is well famous over here on telly all the time and he came out to see us for a chat and a few snpas, good bloke, but the food was even better it was a great evening we also went up to Blu Horizons bar which is unbelievable, its was on the top floor of the shangri-la and had top views over the opera house and the bridge, we finished the night off with a few more beers in the opera bar it was one of my favourite days since we have been travelling!! We also went over to see erins family for the last time before we left sydney pete and sandra who had put us up when we first got out here so as usual pete put a good spread on for us and we said our goodbyes for the last time! Monday we all moved into my cousins house so she had a hose full with my mum and dad being here too its been a good laugh though again mostly revolving around drinking heavily and eating which is all of over favourite past times!! Me erin and my folks drove up to the hunter valley to stay in a five star golf and spa resort for one night so me and the old man went and had a few games, its amazing how my dad finds the bunkers with nearly every other shot but it was a quality couple of days and the place was top with some brief visits to the vineyards around to pick up grog! We have been to taronga zoo with the kids then up to the blue moubtains yesterday and now its today and im sitting here probably boring the pants off you but hey you have been filled in now so thats all from me for now if any of you who are reading this are still awake the next part starts wednesday, New Zealand here we come!! Take care all Sydney has been amazing!!!
