Big thank you to Alex and Sammy for putting me up and showing me a good time in Sydney. Had a wicked night out for my last night but yesterday was a very long day as flight into Auckland didn't get in till 01:30 and didn;t get to bed till about 3ish. Slept in this morning and almost missed check out and the bus to the airport. But it all worked out for the best and i'm theiving free internet from some shop :))

Hope everyonehas a great Christmas and a good new year. Sorry to all the boys back home (Richie, Ross, Kash, et al) that are having to organise their own Ny parties :))

Oh and I randomly bumped into Meika in my hostel at 2:30, think I shocked the poor wee girl as she almost burst into tears. Could hear the distinctive twang of someone from the "kingdon" all the way down the stairs!!
