Hi Lau,

Glad to hear it's all going well.

Hope you are having loads of fun. Take the kids on the ferry to Manly beach - cheap and fun!

You know me - I am risk adverse I am a H&S manager

Have been to the Wildlife world (or whatever in the harbour!)!!! The kids enjoyed it - not sure I am keen on the spiders though

Have come back to the room for a bit - I just had to go buy new toiletries and suncream as they took them off me at Singapore airport. We forgot to check in my bag with all the bits in I was gutted they took my Molton Brown Dry Oil Spray and my Veet hair removal cream. They sell it in Woolworths though so I am happy now.

Need to try and find somewhere more permanent to live now!!!

Speak to you all soon,

Lau xx

Have fun! Absolutely nothing better than being on a boat in Sydney Harbour on a sunny day!

Glad to hear you have sorted the important things - the toiletries!

Good luck with the interviews!

Kids are loving it!!!

Estate agents are open but will be closed New Year's Eve and New Year's Day....

I have contacted a few with some enquiries and am trying to make appointment to view some properties....

Next thing is to sort out Tax File Reference.... I can do this online but need an address so I guess I will have to do it once I have found somewhere more permanent to live!

If I can't find anywhere this week I will probably extend my stay at the hotel for a few more nights.

Today is the real estate pages in the Sydney Herald - I have been online and viewed the properties in the areas I am interested in and sent emails to the EA's... I will try phoning them later too....

First impressions of Sydney - positive!!! The people are really friendly and helpful!

Catch you later,

Laura x

Wow - you're doing well Lau! I'm sure it won't take too long to find somewhere to live.

Hope you're having fun too.

Yeah - heap loads the kids and I haven't stopped laughing!!!!

Am taking your advice and taking them to Manly today - I have to try and find the train station which will probably raise a few more chuckles out of them!!!!

Went on the monorail yesterday and tried to walk out through the entrance to get out - kids were buckled with laughter..... Dear me - didn't even have the excuse that the signs were foreign......

Off to breakfast then to the beach...

Catch you later

LOL. The monorail is fun.

Are you taking the train to Manly??? Or are you taking the train to Circle Quay?? Much better to go to Manly on the ferry - it's a beautiful journey. Quite surreal to sail through Sydney harbour as you've seen it on the TV so often.

Have fun - it sounds like you already are!

Hi Kapri - sorry I missed your post. I was busy fighting with the evisa system. I have given up now. We have waited 9 months to apply for the visa, it can wait another day.

How are you? House ready to go on the market???

Hi Mands too!
