An Extra Long Weekend In Sydney


Friendship is one of life's greatest treasures. Friends that are loyal are always there to make you laugh when you are down, they are not afraid to help you avoid mistakes and they look out for your best interest. This kind of friend can be hard to find, but they offer a friendship that will last a lifetime.  


So when we received an email to say our German friends were coming to Sydney ... We didn't think twice about booking our flights and meeting them there.  
Meeting whilst staying in the same resort twelve years ago in Rarotonga ... We have managed to catch up in Germany x2, Portugal, New Zealand x2 and this weekend in Sydney.  
Toasting marriage, friendship and deciding when and where in the world we will all meet next.
  

After a morning of shopping we took in a musical at the Theatre Royal, introducing Merrin to her first ever musical/theatre.  I have promised to go to a Rugby game in return!


Walking almost a half marathon in a day of ticking off all the tourist spots and Opera House photo, it had to be done


After a busy full day previously we soaked up the chance of a two hour train trip to the Blue Mountains, taking in the magical breathtaking sights and riding the worlds steepest train.


Friends who've seen and done so much together ... Travelling through Europe: cruises n campervans (where she first met our German friends), Love, divorce, births (she was my birth partner when I had Miss P) and deaths, we've done it together.  
Life is too short for serious and when the two of us are together - serious is not even an option - my sister from another mother.
