Sydney

We drove from Canberra to Sydney (about a 3 hour drive) and listened to some great tunes and conversation!
we stayed in a place called Glebe - in a little motor inn.
It kinda reminded me of Freo but in a smaller way. very cute and we could walk to the city in like 15 mins. perfect, cause i hate paying for taxies!
We checked in and then headed out to see the sights! we walked to some cafes and then we ended up in darling harbour. we walked around for a while and then decided to go to the opera house and bridge cause i hadnt been there at night before. we went back to darling harbour and ate at 'the meat and wine co' and had a great steak and some really good wine (hence the name!!!)
on sunday we went to the markets and outlets near china town. then had lunch in china town (not the best meal, but it was a good experience) then emily had to drive back to canberra for work on monday
On monday morning luarna came to sydney from scone. we met up and central station and droped her bags off at our hotel.
we went out to kings cross while she got a tattoo!!!! She got her 4 kids chinese starsigns on her arm.
we went to some more outlets and had lunch looking over the water. that night we ate in glebe.
on tuesday i had my hair done (has a little accident in canberra and my hair went orange!!) and then did yet some more shopping!
wednesday we did much the same... sightseeing, eating, and found a Krispy Kreme!
and then at 3 we took the bus to scone!
we made it there at 7 ish to a wonderful curry that jason had made. (did i mention he was a chef???)
i caught up with all the kids (paige 11, josh 10, abbie 8 and chloe 6)
I ate at lu and jas's restaurant 'quince' and felt a bit ill, so i went home.
long story short.. i ended up with the worst flu of my life! i dont remember ever being so ill! Luckily i didnt have too much to do as the kids were at school all day and lu and jas were at work.
at night i fed the kids and put them to bed and at the weekends we watched tv and the kids played with friends.
the kids have grown up so much and it was so good to see them. im sorry i was so sick but had an awesome time in scone... oh and quince is sooooo good... shame they are selling it!
