Christmas and Sydney

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great Christmas. I had an amazing Christmas with the Finegan Family. Their place is amazing and Christmas was as described in my last post except for the fact that is was too cold for the beach so we played trivial pursuits instead! Below is me at Christmas lunch!

On Boxing Day, the rest of the Finegan family and all the grandchildren came round. The weather had brightened up and so we managed to get into the pool for a bit longer and not be so cold!

The 27th was beach day, unfortunatly I was in my bikini and so missed out on the surfing! Was still good fun though, the tan is improving! Matt teaching Ann-Marie to surf:

Then on Thursday I left Newcastle and came to Sydney. I arrived in Sydney at 1.20pm and met Ryan and Bobby. I checked into the hostel at Kings cross and by 2.30pm I had been on the ferry and seen the Sydney Bridge and the Opera House. I definatly know I am in Sydney now! It was amazing to see them like you do in all the books and on tv. We then headed to Manly beach and spent the afternoon there. In the evening we went to the Sports pub down the road from our hostel. We watched the Rangers v ICT match and then played pool.

Today we are going to the Olympic Park and then I am meeting my Uncle and spending the night with them and hopefully going to the beach with all my cousins tomorrow. Having a great time and really looking forward to New Year. Should be great fun. It is forecast for rain but fingers crossed they are wrong!

Miss you all,
