The diamond on the bridge and all the illuminated boats in the background - there were about 50 boats all lit up touring the area

After the fireworks finished we all said ‘happy new year’ and ‘goodbye’ and departed our separate ways. In a way it was a strange end to the day as hoards of people trooped quietly and slowly down the side of Circular Quay to get to their trains, buses and taxis. We had missed our train and decided to walk in the direction of our apartment and hope to find a bus or taxi going in that direction. Luckily I was armed with my map and we walked for a while and then found a bus which dropped us back home.
It had been a long but fantastic day, and I had fulfilled a dream of mine to see New Year’s Eve come in at Sydney! It was also extra-special for Andy and I to have such a great day with all the people from England, it had seemed a long time since we had had such a laugh! Happy Belated New Year everyone, let’s hope 2007 is a good one!!
