Sunday 24 December 2006 - Christmas Eve
Went to the RSL for a chinese with Sarah & Paul to start the Christmas celebrations. Went downstairs for a drink after dinner but it was dead, even the oldies were nowhere to be found, so off to the Ranch to find a livlier party!
Busy but you still wouldn't know it was Christmas, not a decoration in sight and not ONE Christmas song! So back to ours for our own party, with the help of MTV playing some Christmas songs and Paul's disco lights we got our Christmas party! Dancing in the living room until 12am to see in our Christmas Day down under!
Monday 25 December 2006 - Christmas Day!
Christmas morning started with Bucks Fizz and present opening, Paul playing Santa! Starting off with a grumpy Santa with presents slung across the room, let's get Santa to the pub!
Having been warned of Christmas showers, and being less than pleased about it, we were glad to see the weather man got it wrong and we had pure blue skies for our Christmas Day! Off to Darling Harbour to share a Christmas cocktail with Sarah & Paul before they went off for their meal and we headed to Bondi.
Met Michelle and Emma whose friend Gavin had organised a Christmas Day dinner at an Italian restaurant in Bondi for 60 people. BYO and not the traditional Christmas dinner but lovely food. After dinner headed to Bondi Beach for a little paddle in the sea, along with all the other travellers! Had to be done on Christmas Day!
Had a mess around and then up to Gavin's flat for a roof party to end our Christmas Day in Sydney!
A very different way to spend it but enjoyed our Aussie style Christmas Day!
Tuesday 26 December 2006 - Boxing Day
Ellie spent the morning sunbathing in the back garden, which has never been done on Boxing Day before!
The girls got Christmas dinner prepared while Pauly went to work. A nice sit down traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings around the dinner table with crackers, Christmas hats and jokes!
All full up collapsed in the lounge to watch Home Alone, felt more like a traditional Christmas Day than yesterday!
Friday 29 December 2006 - Darling Harbour
Ellie went out in the Thunder & Lightening to go for drinks down at Darling Harbour's Cargo Bar for Duncan's Birthday. Met Duncan and Adam and all their other Wirral mates that they had found along the way so felt quite at home!
