ok so lots have happened since we last wrote! feel rather guilty at keeping you in the dark!

we had a brief stop in Canberra. was nice but nothing special about it! saw the parliment building and got to walk around it so that was cool! shaun also bought a hat! very pleased with himself!
ok so Sydeny....

our first whole day was manly spent sorting out our bags and the lads sitting in mc donalds! no that was the morning in the afternoon we went to see the opera house, sydney harbour bridge and the botanical gardens! very pretty and got a few good pics! we then went to a slightly dodgy place for dinner as it was free thanks to oz experience! was ok food and an all you can eat salad bar so cant complain!
me and shaun then got on the ferry to Manly as we didnt have a bed for the night! spent the night sleeping on the beach which was really nice but the sky was clear so with a good view of the stars came cold! got woken up at 5am by a tractor raking the sand!
we foung freyr and mark back on mainland and went on a few fery trips for the sake of it as we have a pass! went to the museum in darling harbour and saw some really cool boats and a submarine but no one wanted to go on them so i had to pass! dam losers not wanting to part with their money!
another night spent on the beach but this night freyr ans mark shared our fate!
new years eve:
went to the zoo but shaun being tight pocketed as he is refused to come so we lift him on manly!
zoo was cool! loads of animals in someway better than Singapore but in others not as good!

we spent the night on the beach where the zoo is as the garden we were going to be was full to the brim and the beach has such a good view of the bridge and opera house it was hard to resist!
it was fab! the 9pm display was good and lasted about 10 mins then the midnight was.... no words! shaun did a video so we will post it somewhere at some point! there wont be a better display!
new years day was spent on Bondi beach! shaun decided he knew best and fell asleep on the beach without sun tan lotion on! well he looks silly! with a line of white across his belly where his arms were folded! again pics will follow!

so that has pretty much brought you up to date! i have spent 4 nights on a beach 1 of wich we put up the tent! i smell and really want vegetables so badly but other than that we are good!

today we have decided to rent a car to drive up into the blue mountains! cheaper than the train ans gives us somewhere to our bags! mr mark has been given the job of driver! i think i will have to map read but that is a better job in my opinion! fun fun fun!!!

hope you all has a great christmas and new year

lots of love charlie and a lobster red shaun!!
