I'll begin by saying that Mel and I were able to make it to the sydney fireworks for new years! Thats right, we made it to the kiddy 9pm showing, but it was awesome nonetheless. It was a beautiful show, and I'm glad we were able to stay up for it... and find our way around to even see them. Someone from our hostel told us that busses were free on new years so we just jumped on and went. It was only at the end of the night that we realized that people were paying for them.... so we had a very exciting night--- we experienced New Years aussie style and also committed our first australian 'crime'!
Today Mel and I got up fairly early (because we still haven't adjusted to Aussie time) and went to the beach. The waves were MASSIVE at Tamarama beach and we thought that it was too intense for beginners such as ourselves, so we walked to bondi beach. It was much more comfortable there and we had a great time in the water.
Later in the day, we packed a picnic dinner and headed out on a long hike. There's a trail on the coast here that connects three beaches. It's absolutely breathtaking and the breeze from the water keeps you from getting tired or too hot. We walked for a while then stopped on some rocks and had a picnic. I can officially say that it was the best dinner yet...such a magnificent view!
It sounds like you two are having a great time! I am getting excited just reading your posts. I hope you make them often so it feels like i am there too hhaha. And I am very proud of you for making it to the fireworks kiddie ones or otherwise! haha The pictures you sent me look great!
