Hooray, hooray, lovely holiday

Postby .Jen. » Fri Jun 09, 2006 12:13 am

Dont ya just love friends? Especially uber-generous ones?

My mate asked me to go to Sydney with her in January next year for a girly holiday, meeting up with a few mates out there. Only for ten days, but still a nice break far far away from this godforsaken spit of land.

All ive gotta do is get enough money together for the flight and spending money for the ten days - the hotel is covered.

The hotel, by the way, being the Four Seasons in Circular Quay. Have just seen the pictures/prices of the suite were staying in - triple :shock:

So... anyone who's been to Sydney... recommendations as to wht to do please.

And no - no bloody Bridge Climbs.

:shock:

All my mates being students i think its lovely of them when they let me steal a bag of pasta :(

Most of the people i know at uni here in NZ went over to Oz in the summer hols, including one of my housemates, i'll ask them what they recommend.

Oh and just to state the obvious (because i'm procrastinating) how about getting out of sydney for a surf?

Hey Jen , that's a pretty cool thing for your friend to do!!

If you put away £50 a week away, you wont even miss it and you'll have nearly £1500 when January comes!!! That'll be more than enough,easy Peasy :D

I was in Sydney 10 years ago, so I'm sure it's changed a hell of a lot.
I'm sure there's someone more qualified than me to recommend some highlights!

lol thats the top of the list activities wise :wink:

And Pat... oh my god a sensible post from ya? Kidding.

Ive had a look at a few 'things to do' but as always the places are pushing the things cos they obviously wanna sell the trips etc.

The Skywalk thing looks interesting, but apparently its worse scarewise than the Bridge Climb.
