Happy Christmas from Sydney

A happy Christmas from Australia! We visited the lights at St Marys cathedral and it started to rain so hard, we laughed a lot. The lights looked spectacular through the rain.

We are very very wet here, but we still have time for 1 beer in the rain.

My Bucks day & night out

It was December the 8th and one week before my wedding and it was the day and the evening of my bucks! We went go karting doing a Grand Prix format of 4 races of 7 laps and 1 race of 12 laps at the end. Racers were, Josh, Chris, Jay, Cameron, Ivan, Nick, Turk, Damien me and Dad.

The overall winners, first place was me with 49 points, with Josh just 1 point behind. Cameron did extremely well coming overall 3rd and with his 110kg weight disadvantage, that was some skilful driving from him.
