Pete and Lou's Big Adventure
Happy New Year to you all - hope you have now all recovered from the festivie season?!? We have - just!
We have been in Sydney for 10 days and packed in so much. We have been to Sydney's aquarium, the Maritime Museum, Paddy's Market, Chinese Garden of Friendship and Chinatown. We have walked across the bridge (we couldn't afford the climb), been around the Opera House, Darling Harbour, Luna Park, The Rocks, Milsons Point and the Botanical Gardens.
We spent Xmas day on Bondi Beach which was cool. Most backpackers went there so it was a good laugh. It didnt feel much like Xmas but there was the odd tree and Santa outfit around. On Boxing Day we met up with Emma Scrogie (who some of you will know) and her boyfriend Phil for the Sydney to Hobart boatrace. We had lunch and then went to a bar- it was good to catch up!!
New Years Eve was spent at Mrs MacQuiries Point with a few bottles of wine and the best view of the harbour for the world famous fireworks. Every hour from 1pm they had some sort of display including the firing of cannons, Sydney's equivalent of the Red Arrows display, parachuting etc etc. At 9pm was a fireworks display (a warm up to the main event), we thought it was pretty good!! The foreworks at midnight were absolutely amazing. We don't know if you saw it on TV but a massive heart lit up the bridge, this was meant to reflect the heart of the city. The harbour was packed with boat of all sizes and people. All the boats had hearts on so as you can imagine it was pretty special!!
We have also been to the Blue Mountains, went to watch Narnia and also a basketball game - best not to ask why!!
Today we caught a ferry to Watsons Bay and to cut a long story short we ended up on a nudist beach - no questions please!!Tomorrow we are going back to Bondi Beach and then heading to Manly for a few days - should be good!!
That's it for now take care,
Love always,
Pete and Lou.
P.S.... Pete's having his head shaved so I will be travelling with a football hooligan!! lol ;o) No offence to those of you with shaved heads!!
