Oh Hey 2014!

Happy New Year everyone! I know it was a couple of weeks ago now, but I hope you all had a fantastic NYE as well as new years day celebrating with family and friends. My NYE was quite tame in contrast to previous years, but that didn't bother me at all. There wasn't a set a plan, all I was really told was to meet and Bondi Junction station and we would head off from there. It was more of a 'follow the leader' type of NYE. Myself and a group of friends ended up at Christison Park, Vaucluse, which is around a 15 min taxi ride from Bondi. Though it started to rain as we arrived and the fireworks were a little too far in the distance, the park was a great place to celebrate. At the right spot you were able to witness the beautiful fireworks above the Harbour Bridge (my favourite always being the waterfall off the bridge). Also, there was plenty of room! This would not be expected on NYE in Sydney's CBD. A bonus, the portaloos weren't too disgusting and the line up wouldn't be more than 3 mins. We met some lovely people from all around the world; Italy, Ireleand, France and even received a German lesson from 2 German boys.

Overall it was a great NYE spent with friends, alcohol and great nacho dip!

NYE TIP: Bring a tent and a jacket, no matter what the weather forecast is, you'll be a lot more comfortable by the time midnight arrives!

Comment and let me know what you did for New Years and what tips have you learnt from past NYE experiences?

Till next time,
