We arrived in Sydney on 21st December and were surprised to see the weather was rather gloomy (I thought sunny weather was a sure thing?!). Anyway, that didn't stop us getting out and about to explore. We first had a look around our local area, as we are staying in Dulwich Hill rather than the centre. I bought some tacky Christmas decorations to brighten up our hostel room and also put up the cards that were sent to the hostel (thank you guys, it was so nice to receive those!).
The following day, we caught a bus into the town centre - although it's not far in km's, it took almost an hour on the bus. We split off from each other to give us each time to find a present for each other. I found a local market which was great, with loads of local arts and crafts.
After that, we went along to Circular Quay to take in the amazing views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge - it was good to see it in the flesh having seen it in so many pictures! On Christmas day we are planning to go to a restaurant looking out over the very same view - can't wait!
Finally....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my gorgeous neice Beth - hope you enjoyed your present - can't believe you're two already! Lots of love and see you soon to give you lots of cuddles, Auntie Francie.xxx.
And also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mum - hope you have an excellent birthday in Switzerland - bet you're glad you get a birthday without having to cook everyone else roast turkey! Makes sure dad pampers you...miss you lots and love you more. F.xxx.
