Royalty Arrives in Sydney - Happy New Year

So here we have the first official photo in Australia so given that we no longer have Mitsi in tow we can now return to calling ourselves by our normal names (that's Lee and Henry should you have forgotten (Paddy and Max)).
The flight from Christchurch was smooth and we arrived to beautiful skies over Sydney. We have had to get used to so many people rather than sheep!
Amazingly we bumped into Gail and Jim on the way! You will be surprised to know that it was pre planned!
This photo gives you the evidence of where we are!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!
We were lucky to be on a boat called the Bella Vista as part of the illuminated parade in the harbour. In Sydney you get two lots of fireworks so the first go off at 21:00 then the second at midnight! You can imagine 400 revellers on the boat all trying to get to the bar at once! However, we gave it a good go and of course befriended the waiting staff (Germans and Brazilians) and we were kept topped up all night! Met some great people on board also.
Off into Sydney now to have some breakfast and get rid of these hangovers!!!!!!!
