Sydney

Hey guys!
Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while, I couldn't do it in Sydney. We all had a really great time, the court case worked out well, which was the main thing.
George and I did ALOT of shopping! Our apartment was across the road from the 3rd biggest mall in the world! It was HUGE! 6 floors, 2 blocks, it goes across the road! PARADISE!
When we got to our apartment we went up the lift and got off at floor P, for PENTHOUSE!!! Jeepers, it was MASSIVE! 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge, kitchen, laundry, 2 tvs, and a balcony that went on forever, with spa on it too!

Our massive penthouse balcony and the spa!
Wicked views as well!

The view of sydney from our room!
It was so cool, especially when you were sharing a lift with someone and you went and pushed the 'P' button, and they'd be like "whoa! Penthouse! Cool!"

Another pic of our huge balcony!

Our lounge, and the kitchen where Lynne is. (It's actually bigger than it looks there!)
ANYWAY.... Our first day in Sydney was Australia day! We went over to Manly for lunch etc, it was SOOO hectic!! People in Wallaby jerseys, and Australian flags wrapped around them like capes, man it was a sea of green and yellow or as the Aussies say green and 'GOLD'. Everywhere we went there were people yelling "Aussie, aussie, aussie, oi, oi, oi" but anyway, we had a good Aussie day.
It was SOOOOOOO hot over there, like 35 somedays! We didn't actually spend any time at the beach, we did do a coastal walk from Bondi to Bronte though.
When the adults were working, G and I caught a train into the city and did some shopping there, all by ourselves!! LOL.
Dad also took us to see our old school, Crown Street Public, and we had a drink at our old fav cafe, and we walked past our old house too.
Oh! We also saw a really big, ugly spider! Like the size of my palm, it was a huntsman, which I think are non-toxic but their bite can still be really painful, and look at it! It's creepy!

The huntsman spider :-s
So anyway we got back on Friday, and drove back down to H.B. on Fri night. Arrived at about midnight! Jules and her friend Rose, and also Beverley are staying with us.
It's George's last day of freedom,off Lindisfarne to become a jaffa tohis avo!! Now he'll be two kinds of jaffas, a JAFA, from AKLD, and now a Lindy Jaffa. Haha. K well I'll put photos on tonight of him all dressed up in his uniform, and if you didn't get the jaffa thing, you will when you see the photos. Ttly.
