Start spreading the news....(dah dahdeh dah)

... We're leaving tooo-morrrr-roooow!



The day is nearly here, we finally say a fond farewell to good old Oz. It's been one hell of an adventure and we've many great memories to take with us on our last leg home. Yep, we're coming HOME! Woohoo, just 44 days to go!

We've spent our last week in Sydney squeezing in the last of the tourist sights and enjoying the Aussie lifestyle. On Thursday we re-visited the Bluemountains, which is a 2hr train journey from the city into the countryside. It rained for most of the day, but as the tourbuses of tourists in squeaky white trainers tried carefully not to get muddy, we happy splashed around as much as we could! At the end of our 2-3hr walk around the cliff top and down into the valley we finished the trail by catching the steepest railway in the world back upto the top. It was steep!








And here are a few other snapshots of the week...

Here's our first flat together.... ahh...



Our local, the 'East Sydney Hotel,' a pub that prides itself on not having any Pokies! (that's fruit machines to the rest of us)



The Bats in the Botanical Gardens...



The good old Harbour bridge...



and of course for one last time, the Opera House...



Our flight leaves at 08.30am tomorrow morning (a nice 4am start for us!) and arrives into Bangkok at 19.45pm. It may take us a few days to adjust to the crazy Thai environment, so we will try to be in touch soon. Also we are really excited about meeting up with Dawn, Adam's sister on Tuesday. We can't wait Dawn, and don't worry, we'll be at the airport!

We're coming home, we're coming home, we're coming..... well nearly anyway, we're getting closer! See you all soon xxx
