Coogee Bay Hotel Heritage Wing

After flying back to Sydney from Melbourne there was a Birthday party for Kev, We drank in the house for a while and then went out into Sydney to a few bars and a club. It was a really good night and on Sunday had my first Indian takeaway. It was nothing like home and the chicken tasted a bit funny, but cant expect it to be like the Curry Cottage.<br><br>Last night went to Sydney for a meal with ...

Whats up peeps....was going to do this yesterday but never got a chance... Yesterday wasn't one of our bests cause of the trains & buses & we actaully didnt do a lot. Just a lot of sitting on buses. We got in to the city mid morning & got on to the Sydney Explorer bus...first stop was The Rocks for Kathie. We got the photo of us at Sydney Harbour with the Opera house behind us. Than we just ...

... had been bitten by a seal after getting close to feed it. we did wonder if she'd been that stupid to think that, while all the posters warned about not letting kids swim with the seals as they are wild and so can be unpredictable, there was absolutely going to be no worries with letting her tiny sprog of a child get that up, close and personal with such a beast of an animal! jesus! anyway, while in the esperance area, we made time too for a visit to the cape arid national park ...

... of the complimentary all day refreshments 3 smoothies on the outside sun deck overlooking the amazing harbour! Best views of the bridge and the opera house!!! After that we went and met Lou and took a trip to Bondi beach again as Stephie hadnt been there....was nice to get in the sun again but we were very keen to get back to the hotel,hehe!! Went back for some afternoon tea - we were like ladies who lunch ...

... with very distinct flora and fauna from the rest of the world, is very particular and stringent about not allowing foreign fruits, vegetables, wood products, etc. into the country. Nevertheless, after waiting in line for more than an hour with my bags (well after clearing customs), the lady employee took one look at me and let me pass through without inspection. Great system and excellent use of public money. After ...

I haven't updated my blog in TOO long so I thought now I have some time on my hands and some free internet I can let every one know what's going on and where I am. I'll fill in the other gaps (...the hundreds of them) soon as I can :) but thought it's more important to let you know what's going on now. Ok so basically we all decided by the 5th of Jan me and Kim should leave Aunty Liz's. We tried to look for work but didn't ...

... I was trying to work out how long it was since I last had christmas at nans with him but failed miserabely. Aunty Liz knew but I've forgotten now eek. Breakfast was served! It was loverly! Aunty Liz made (i bet there's a professional name for it.. i'll try my best to describe it) salmon on some kind of toasted ciabatta bread, with poached egg on the second layer. So good!!!!! Kim made it down for breakfast although was so ill she couldn't ...

... but decided it was worth a shot! Back at home Me aunty Liz Kim and Billy just catch up it's really nice cause I obviously haven't ever spent much time with them other than when they come over to the UK and that's obviously not often. 16th December We went into Sydney to speak to our work agency, we told them our situation and their only reply was that there was no point looking for work until the New Year. The woman was quite rude actually, she obviouly had ...

... toxic, sharp toothed and threatening... Next stop Byron Bay. There's a nice, if busy, alternative hostel there, the Arts Factory. You can build your own Didjeridoo, etc. Great swimming and beach walking. Nice views off the coast. We saw some humpback whales swimming past and generally had a very nice day with Karen, Olav and Fabienne bevor I had to hasten on to Brisbane. Schedule, schedule, schedule... Bit of a shame, really. My day in Brisbane was nice. Sadly missed ...
