1st - 7th January
Party is over and 2010 has begun. Now its time to look forward to other things such as more sightseeing, more eating, more drinking, more planning the future and of course more sleeping too.

We went into Sydney CBD to say goodbye to Dawn as she was leaving for her adventures in the farming community, and picked up some Yellow fever vaccines while there for our onward trip to South America. We managed to eat a huge buffet dinner in Maloney's Hotel for 3 dollars each thanks to hostel vouchers Dawn gave us. Then popped into Bar Century for a quick 3 dollar beer (the cheapest in town). And that was that, goodbye Dawn.

The next day was a day to get active and visit Palm Beach (for those who don't know where that is, its where Home and Away is filmed). It was a fun day with wave surfing (without the surf board) and beach relaxation true and true, with some sand angels being created.A picnic on the beach and some beautiful views while on the bus to Palm beach. It is a very scenic area with some cliffs, beaches and a windy road in parts. Good for a day out for sure.

The next day again did not disappoint, as we stayed local this time and went snorkelling in Manly. There are some big big fish in these waters, and it didn't help us as they are showing all the Jaws films at present on tv. So a lot of the snorkelling was spet looking for the shark rather than the colourful fish on the reef.
During the evenings we of course go for our favourite Fairlight walk, and then eat a fantastic meal. Everyday something tasty and new on the menu. We had steaks, we had fish, we had chilli con carne and much much more. Delicious.

And we have also managed to plan our trip ahead, and we are leaving Sydney on the 18th of Jan to travel to Melbourne. Car is booked, the flights to NZ are changed and we are due to arrive back in freezing Ireland on the 24th of March. There is still a tonne of stuff we will get to do and see before that day, so stick around.
