Girls Weekend in sydney

Wow what a great weekend. Came home feeling totally exhausted and I think my feet may take a week to recover but it was worth it.

We left Nowra about 7:15 and drove to Sydney - it was amazing but as we arrvied at the motel to check in and there were the girls who had arrived from the Central Coast - we had turned up at the check in desk at the same time! How cool was that.

We checked in and wow - talk about service. The place is full of nice boys! One gets your bags out of the car, another takes your car. We get up to our room after being walked to the elevator and our bags are carried in and coats hung up for us. What a beautiful room. Definately going to be impossible to go back to the Ibis again!

We walked through the Botanical Gardens - at one point there were 1000's of bats - wherever you looked up in the trees they were covered by them. It was so awesome (although I must say that male tourists are real wuzz's - talk about acting like a big baby!) The gardens were lovely and we strolled through and around and just chatted as we walked.Then we got to the Art Gallery of NSW where we got our culture for the weekend! Well not really. I don't think Jane will let us go there again *insert blushing face here* Its just that there were so many kids books and they had lots of fun things to do. So we did laugh a little, okay maybe a lot *ooops*Then we wandered through Hyde Park and, of course, Jane and Kath had to stop in front of the buskers for a quick dance, oh and Kath tried to prove she could keep a man in the palm of her hand!!Then we shopped and shopped - we checked out the lovely flowers outside the QVB and had icecream! Mmmmmmm gelato!

We walked through Martin Place and checked out the studio that Mel and Kochie sit in for Sunrise. But as for being starstruck - No - all Kath was worried about was the fact that the floor was so messy. Did they not have cleaners??

Then back to our motel rooms. These pics are taken from the gorgeous Juliet balcony's in our rooms. If you get the chance you must definately pay a visit to The Sir Stamford at Circular Quay. It really is gorgeous.Jane and I went for a wander, walked down the steepest, really uneven steps we could find! And so within a couple of hundred metres of our motel was this gorgeous view. I think you could probably see this from certain rooms in the motel.Then back to our rooms to shower, change and get ready for going out. We had some more laughs, chats and some bubbly - what else do you need for a girls weekend?For dinner we headed around to the Rocks and went to the Lowenbrau. My first meal at a german restaurant! I had a gorgeous seafood platter which was so lovely whilst Kath went for the traditional Sauerkraut, german sausage and mash. We had home baked pretzels. Oh and I think it all began when they bought out the Schnapps on a stick!!!!

We then went onto the Orient Hotel for a night of singing and dancing. All in all it was a great fun weekend with great company, lots of laughs and heaps of fun.
