A Happy Birthday Down Under
... having previously been on the tour and learned all about the building. It's pretty awesome to be drinking wine inside the Opera house with amazing views of the harbour bridge. All in all, I felt very spoiled and we had a fantastic evening.

It was worth it though, as we ...
CONVICT KANGAROOS AND COLONIAL ATTIRE
... music singalong in their undies. When the other guy returned from the car it seemed he failed to find his iPod, but it was OK, they just listened to the same song on repeat for about 20 mins (For your listening pleasure: http://youtu.be/1XOWSfj-mtA), singing all the high bits together, sharing the manlove. It was all pretty funny, and we knew that they were so hammered they were really due to just conk out into sleep at any ...
