Yesterday we took the greyhound bus from Noosa to Brisbane and than we caught the flight from Brisbane to Sydney, because....
we did not want to miss the New Years Fireworks in Sydney!
So today we did some shopping with our host in Sydney, till we really got too excited and pushed them, to search for a "waiting place" in the harbour, because we wanted of corse to have a good view!
Lucky us, at 4.30pm we still were allowed to go thrue the gates into the harbour between the opera house and Sydney's famous bridge, but soon it was completly filled with people and we started waiting..... and waiting.... and waiting.....
The people surounding us were really friendly and they came from all over the wolrd, so we didn't get bored and it felt like some kind of picknick atmosphere. That was really nice....
And at 9.00pm, we were very surprised, there was the first, beautiful fireworks show! It is especially for the kids, so they don't have to stay that long awake.
After the first show, boats with thousands of lights crused up and down the waters, and everybody got more excited.
Suddenly...
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I wish you all the best in Life and Love for everyone!
The firework show around the bridge was fantastic and we were so glad to see it live, that I had to dry a little tear in my eye.
This was really a very special New Years Celebration!
