Finally our holiday has started again! On saturday a midwife from the hospital offered to take us to the Blue mountains. They are amazing, qiute possibly my favourite place yet. We did a bush walk, went on the cable car and the steepest train and went to the most amazing chocolate shop for breakfast...
We then went to michelles house and had a proper aussie bbq really lovelly!
When we arrived in sydney on sunday 23rd we intended to go to the neghbours night but when we got there it looked horrendous so we didn't go in and instead we had a meal near the harbour and looked on at the bridge!
Christmas eve we headed to bondi for three nights in a luxurious hotel the hotel was beautiful althought the staff had no social skills but never mind. my mum arrived in sydney on christmas eve so we met up with her and frank for a drink and a meal which was really lovely to catch up and have a drink! Eve also came to meet up with us as she lives near bondi and i havn't seen her since my nurse training so it was good to catch up.
Christmas day was all a bit depressing at first. we woke up thinking we would treat ourselves to an extoushionatley expensive breakfast but as it was christmas day it would be a treat but that all went wrong and they firstly threw away our order then decided to send us stuff we hadn't orederd!!! nightmare. we went for a walk onto bondi which was freezing and we met a couple who had a leeds flag flying from a bright orange camper van so obviously we were drawn into talking to them!!!!
we spent the next few hours sat on the beach fully clothed as it was freezing!!! Vicky decided to buy a hoody which wasn't as easy as it sounds! The woman dropped the money on the floor and $20 disappeared!! so then there was a bit of an argument about money in the end vicky ended up having to pay an extra $20 for the jumper...already quite pissed off me and gemma went back in to sort it out which resulted in getting the names of the manager and staff...asking the woman to empty her pockets!!! and telling her to enjoy her christmas tip!!!! shockingly she follwed us out the shop with the $20 that she had found! thieving scamp!!!!!! To cheer ourselves up we went for some nachos (yes christmas lunch!) again here service wasn't much better so after finishing we were fed up of waiting around for the bill so we left!!!
In the afternoon we went to Franks brothers for christmas dinner bbq which ended up being possibly the most surreal christmas day ever, after Jim had been showing us his dance moves and falling(breaking a rib or 2) we were dacning the night away in his living room which was decked out with smoke machines a decrative waterfall and strobe lights dancing to a mix of swan lake to elvis!!! randomest ever but so funny!!!
