New Years Eve 2009

WHOA the family was treated to a 5$ million dollar fireworks show last night! 1.5 million people lined the Sydney Harbour shores and WOW WOW WOW- it was fantastic! You haven't seen real fireworks, until you've been to Sydney for NYE! It was SPECIAL! We rang in the new year at the Taronga Zoo where we had a completely unobstructed view of the Sydney Harbour. We made way to our seats at 6pm (YES! LOOOONNNG WAIT) - enjoyed a kids fire work show at 9 pm and then the REAL deal at midnight. A small count down and then it all started. Truly a once in a lifetime experience! Charlie stayed up until we were home @ 130 am! I think I was at least 13 before I ever made a "ball countdown!" It felt more like a 4th of July party than NYE! We were sweating in the humidity whilst waiting for fireworks. We are VERY pleased the mosquitoes stayed at bay! All said and done, it was worth the wait! We ALL LOVED IT!
