Wow! A little behind on the posts. I have definitely fallen into the comfort zone in Sydney, go to work, come home and chill, get up for work etc. Well that was before we got some new tenants at the house! The girls, Emma, Dee, Amy and Jenna, arrived 2 weeks ago and boy has the house changed. Not only are we back in tourist mode with more newbies but they have also shaken up a house that the "boys" up to this piont had been calling their own.

Anyways more to come on the girl's arrival later... This post is about a few bears, a tiger and some giraffes!! Enjoy the pics, there will be no more from Sydney soon so we'll cherish them.

Finishing up in Sydney is harder than you know

Teapots, birthdays, zoos, parties, BBQs and shopping have been just a few of the things that have filled our far from mundane finish in Sydney. This place has been home for over 6 months now for me and coming into the final week I have only now realised how much I'll miss the place. When you come to Australia you are either a Melbourne man or a Sydney man. Having fallen in love Melbourne, Sydney has always been tougher to warm to. Of course most of the reason behind me missing it will be all the good times, friends and experiences squeezed into 6 months but part of me will miss working, living and breathing in this city.

Tomorrow morning I will be booking mine and Joe's flights back to the Northern Hemisphere. I say NH because a flight home is the last thing on our mind, lol. Itinerary is as follows (roughly):

• 30th May - Jonny & Matt head up the east coast


• 23rd June - Joe finishes work


• 29th June - Matt heads back to Sydney to meet up with Brian


• 30th June - Joe arrives in Cairns for diving with Jonny


• 4th July - Jonny & Joe fly to Auckland


• 4th August - Jonny & Joe fly from Christchurch to Sydney, Sydney to Kuala Lumpur


• 7th August - Jonny & Joe fly to Jakarta to meet Ian & Paddy for 2 months in Indonesia


• 5th October - Jonny & Joe fly to Colombo, Sri Lanka


• 10th October - Jonny & Joe fly to London


• 13th October - Jonny flies to Frankfurt

Quite a bit to go then, haha. It's all provisional and dates will most likely change. From Frankfurt I will make my way across Europe as far as money will allow. Perhaps to the South of France, who knows.

Looking forward to the east coast with Meech, the adventures have only just begun. Below is my last 2 weeks in Sydney, crazy looking back now, We had Brian's birthday at a Tapas bar, then Joe's with teapots and then United winning "that" match. You will see me congratulate Fitz in the pics, see Liverpool fans are gracious not like you Mancs. Peace out Sydney, maybe I'll see you again sometime, then again maybe not :P
