New Years Eve

This post is one i dont think me or Simon seem to want to write about. I dont think neither of us can say we had a really good time it was just okay.

It was important for us to be in Sydney and see these famous fireworks that everyone has gone on about, but at the same time neither of us wanted to spend 12 hours sat in one place not being able to move, so we made the decision to get the last ferry from manly which left at 6 oclock and then see what happens when we got into Sydney.

We spent the evening walking around up and down the Rocks and discovered that we could buy bottles of drink and wait around. At 8 oclock we managed to sneak into an area that had a really good view of the bridge. So we stood there for about an hour as there was family fireworks at 9oclock. Needless to say there was fireworks but not on the bridge so we didnt particularly get to see them. Now we could have stood here for 3 hours and got a perfect view of the bridge but neither of us wanted to do this as it would have been boring so we went back on to the Rocks area and carried on drinking and in general watching people get more and more pissed. In particular there was one couple slow dancing to all the fast songs and they were really really hammered smooching all over each other. It was funny to watch because her dress kept slowly slowly moving down until it had fell of her boobs and it just looked like a bra and skirt. They kept us amused for half an hour anyway.

At 12 oclock we found an area on the rocks that you could see the bridge and yes the fireworks were good but i actually think we were to close to appreciate them, and neither of us were hugely impressed. As soon as they finished it was like no question lets get home on the next ferry.

I also think for me that because it wasnt New Years Eve at home yet that i didnt feel like it was New Years Eve.
