Sydney:)

Hi guys, just a brief update at the moment! I had a fantastic last day in Singapore which consisted of some sightseeing- mainly Little India and lunch in the CBD. Nic and Suz then treated me to a superb buffet in the evening at a very posh hotel, however I cant remember the name. Anyway I got a good night sleep and was very sad to have to say bye to the Gaiever-Enger's after a fantastic time with them.
I then landed safely in Sydney yesterday after an 8 hour flight and met Mick only to find by the time I got back to the hotel that my shampoo had exploded everywhere in my washbag 😞. After all that commotion we had a fantastic meal at a seafood restaurant looking onto Darling Harbour which is beautiful, then headed to bed for some much needed sleep. An early start was needed this morning to ensure we found me some accomodation which I thought would be very easy to book- it really wasn't!! After about two and a half hours of searching I booked into two hostels which are not bad I have to say, and not too expensive either- which is always a bonus. Im pretty tired right now so Im going to have a sleep before I decide what to do tonight, hope everyone is well!! Matt xx

Friendship is a great thing
Hi there Matt, having had a wonderful time in Singa's with the Engers and then to be met by Mick Dundee (alias what a Crock) in Sydney really has affirmed to Mom and I what brilliant friends we have. The shampoo incident sounded nasty, bet Mick laughed! Has he said yet....'gees, doesn't get better than this'. Can just imagine the two of you eating seafood overlooking the harbour, what a great time you are having. We are well, Meg and Sar are having a good rest from school, they went to see Pink Panther 2 with Mom and Joey, and were full of the one liners, including the reemrgence of 'damburgerrrrr!'. I met them for dinner, you guessed Nando's. Well, hopofully Mick will get the boys into shape whilst in La Manga for this Sunday's biggie against Cardiff, how we need to satrt winnign again! We are thinking of you lots, Mom keeps saying...'wonder what Matt is doing now?' which is great, living the experience with you. Go well, keep safe and keep trusting Son much love Daddy B

Hi Matt, Hope you are not too lonely in Sydney all on your own. The sights must be fantastic, fancy eating on the seafront outside the opera house! What is the hostel like? I understand you are moving on tomorrow for your last two nights. We are missing you loads, its not the same without you here and your mum is missing your grandma kisses!! We do hope you continue to enjoy all the sights and experiences. We love ypu lots and are praying for you! Godbless, lots of love, P,L,Jand D xxxx

With or without!
Sorry to hear that your week in Syndey was perhaps more challenging than you may have liked or wished for. But great to see the "provision" of such a mate mate as picked you up from the airport. Things here are starting to resemble Spring if you screw up your eyes a bit and stand outside at noon! I trust you will not be encountering a need for thick woolies where you are going next. Have fun in Bris! Every blessing, Barbara
