Saturday now and only a day and a half left until we fly to Auckland and start our NZ tour!
We met up with Kelly as planned on Thursday and went for a huge walk and lunch around the Botanical Gardens which were really beautiful. Mum went back to find some of our family from Oz and spent the afternoon with them at Darling Harbour while Kelly and I carried on walking, went to the Art Museum of New South Wales and then chatted over a hot chocolate in a cafe near Pitt St. We said goodbye about 6 and I met up with Mum, Yvonne, Sarah and her little boy Ethan who was really sweet! We all went for dinner at China Town, had a catch up and made some plans for when Sarah & Ethan come over to England in December. They arrive the week after we get home! So that made saying goodbye a bit easier.
Yesterday Mum and I were up (after another mammoth sleep) and waiting outside the hostel about 8am to be picked up for the Blue Mountains Tour. It was a huge day and they crammed in so much. We stopped at loads of beautiful view points, did the scenic air flight, cable car and train at the Blue Mountains, saw an aboriginal direction carving and stopped off to see some wild kangaroos before a leisurely cruise back round to Sydney Harbour under the bridge, past the Opera House and back into Circular Quay. After trekking back down to the other end of Pitt St to our hostel, sprucing up a bit, we went for dinner at the Three Wise Monkeys then strolled home.
Over slept a bit today because we forgot to set an alarm... Mums just gone down to Coles to get some food then we're doing a 3 hour walking tour around the City, may walk over the bridge to Luna Park later. Tomorrow we intend to catch a ferry over to Manly for the day. Might rain so we've got a backup plan of ducking into the Art Museum and Aquarium, if not, there's the market and beach walks. May be able to catch up with another Trek Am friend too hopefully!
I think thats it for now. Stay in touch as we'd love to hear from you. May not be back online to blog until we get to New Zealand now as I'm not sure when we'll have time, so don't worry if it goes quiet, check facebook updates!
Miss and love you all
