So today we didn't do a great deal... Other than get here lol We checked into the hotel with lots of cocktail vouchers had a muuuuuch needed shower and headed out for a mooch in darling harbour! Nice place! Kinda commercial / full of high rise banking tower blocks :) We decided china town was a must but were a little disappointed with it! SFO China Town is better! We also went to the Chinese Friendship Garden which was lovely! We had a bite to eat for early tea about 4 and came back to the hotel for a snooze! When we woke up at 8:30 we went for our free drinks and cocktails in the bar then out to Darling Harbour in the dark ! Bed about 11 zzz! ... read more

Part I I am, more or less, two hours away from my destination and I feel tired, I can't get some sleep, maybe I'm just not used to a long travel. My usual flight takes 2 to 3.5 hours as all were in Asia. I don't know what to expect when I arrived but I'm really excited for tomorrow's event.

You should have seen the smile on our faces when we were told that we had been upgraded from a studio apartment to a duplex two bedroom penthouse on the top floor. When we travelled up in the express lift and then opened the door to our apartment we realised it was almost as big as our bungalow. We unpacked and then found a supermarket to ... read more

Hello followers, During this week a colleague from work took me out for an awesome game of squash, we played for approximately 2 hours. I obviously lost every-time because I've never played squash before ^^. Same for being on a bike, the ride on the bike was really relaxing after a busy day at work ;). On the 23th of May Sydney kicked of the lights - Vivid Sydney festival ! Vivid Sydney is a festival of light, music and ideas that includes large-scale light installations and projections through to music performances and the holding of conferences and seminars on ideas and creativity. The festival is wide spread from a special Aquatique show on Darling Harbour till the main street lighted buildings at 'Circular Quay'! After seeing the Aquatique show at the harbour I've went with ... read more
