Yesterday it rained, and then it rained some more and then it rained in between the thunder and lightening and then it rained some more. We bought the coolest umbrellas ever in a 2 dollar shop. We call them our Mardi Gras unbrellas cos they are rainbow colours. The three of us in the hostel have them and we’re bringing them to the wedding today. We are going to be sooo cool :)

Thankfully today it is sunny. I’ve just come back from the hair dressers where they made me look absolutley fabulous ( I know hard to believe I can look even more fabulous ;)). We’re getting ready soon and then we start our trip to the wedding. We have to get a train to the city, meet some friends in the Opera bar (beside the Opera house suprisingly) and then we get a boat to the wedding. It’s beside the zoo and is supposed to have amazing views of the city. We stay there until 10pm and then we have water Limos booked to bring us back to the most exclusive hotel in Sydney the Shangri La. We have an area reserved in the bar on the top floor with full windows from floor to ceiling over looking the harbour area. I’m going to try stay relatively sober for a while so that I can get some shots :). The Shangri La doesn’t normally take group bookings but they made an exception. Little do they know what they’re letting themselves in for. 40-50 drunken irish/aussies singing every irish trad song under the sun. I can’t wait.
