All of yesterday I spent sitting under a tree at observatory hill in central Sydney. I went in with the 10 train, so I was at Observatory hill at 12. I fell asleep there under the tree and got a bit sunburnt, not too bad though. At 7 Jessica arrived from work. It was a warm day, not too bad though. At 9 pm the first fireworks went off (for families with kids) and we had an excellent spot! After that it was more hours of waiting. But finally the time came and mind you, it was worth the wait! It was big and magnificent fireworks. They lasted for something like 15 minutes. Lots of people around, but it was not too much. After the fireworks were done we walked to the station. One day a year you are allowed to walk in the middle of George street. So we did just that. It felt like all of Sydney was out on the streets! The sidewalks were packed. The street it self was packed! Eventually we got to the station and found that our train was not due for another half hour. Nothing to do though, so we got on the train and waited. We arrived home at 2:30 or so. We went to bed pretty much right away. Apparantly the night was calm, nothing serious happened. Today we got up at 11:20, a bit later than we intended but it was nice to just take it easy. The temperature went up to +42 today! Manalive it was hot! After being out to hang the laundry up it felt cool inside. But it was +30 inside! We did not do much today a bit of laundry but that's it. With such temperatures you do not do much.
