New Years Eve and cruise

New Years Eve monday 31st December and not at work so went to Rhodes first thing with Gabriella (Gabs). First stop was post office to post dads present and collect my parcel which was from Ellie a lovely photo frame and pen with Ellie on. Then it was to coffee club as Gabs not had breakfast I had eaten so just had a mango smoothie which was abit thicker than normal but still good. Gabs then went to have her toes shellac'd whilst she was having it done I went to get some pictures printed but was still done by Gabs. When she was finished we went to buy alcohol and nibbles for tonight got some sparkling wine. When we got back we went round the pool for 2 hours was busy couldn't get a sunbed Sarah met us there. It was then time to head back at 3ish and start getting ready before the girls got back so at least we could of had shower and time to start the drinks. Whilst the others were getting ready I made sausages baps so at least we got something to line our stomach before more drinks as didn't think nibbles sufficient enough. Decided to wear my red one shoulder which bought back from home with my new silver clutch bag that got for Xmas from Rachel. But was having issues with my hair wanted to curl it but it wasn't doing as I wanted so ended up doing a small quiff.
It was then time to head into the city catching train at 5.45pm which we made so got to city at 6.15 and first stop was cafe for espresso for Gabs and Bianca as Gabs flagging but did only arrive yesterday from UK. When we got to King St Wharf Darling Harbour there was already a queue to get on the boat and Nat not there yet, she was supposed to be their 6ish but knew she would get their after as always late. Going on the Good Time Harbour Cruises for New Year's Eve where get to fetch the New Year in watching the Sydney Harbour Light Parade. It was an All Inclusive Package which included food, entertainment and drinks/alcohol to ensure this will be a time to remember. When we got on first went upstairs to get drinks got a strawberry daiquiri which was ok but abit watery to what am used to, boat left harbour at 7pm. It was quite busy upstairs so went downstairs and stood downstairs at front of the vessel where we eventually met Nat and Lou and time for pictures. Was time for more drinks but decided against the daiquiri this time and had my usually vodka and diet coke again. We then got to see the first lot of fireworks which were very good as on new year is two firework displays one at 9pm for families then again at midnight. It was then time to dance the night way on the dance floor with Nat and Lou as others mainly stayed outside. Edel (Kat's friend) had sent me a message on Facebook with her number and sent her a message but no reply as was also on cruise with boyfriend but never saw her. Though out the night their kept coming round with nibbles which was a great selection of food but only had little even had oysters but thought best not as not sure if had before. Then we got to see the New Years Eve celebrations first was to see the giant red lips in the middle of the harbour bridge which counted down to midnight before the fireworks started. The fireworks didn't disappoint it was great and amazing to see the city skylines explode in gold, pink, green and blues. Sydney is the first major city in the world to welcome in 2013 which has to set the standard of the rest of the world and I feel it did in spectacular form. All the boats on he harbour all had lights on and lit up the Sydney harbour I think the best bit was the firework fountain from the bridge. After the fireworks was time to do some more dancing got back to King St Wharf Darling Harbour at 1.30 and my feet ached but hadn't sat down much. Decided that we didn't want to go partying anywhere else so went to catch the train back which were running all night. But first Debs, Bianca and Gabs went to get McDonalds, me and Sarah waited at town hall and we got back home at 3.30. It was a amazing night and think will go down in history as one of my best New Years Eve's.
