So after our 3 months of living with Daniel and Serena in Willoughby it was time to find somewhere else to live..... and summer was coming to an end!
A friend from home Naomi asked us to house and puppy sit whilst she went back to the UK for 2 weeks. Terry instantly fell in love with the puppy 'Mima' and i became boyfriend-less for two weeks!

Finding another place for 10 weeks was not that easy ad we must have looked at least 12 places before we found Jay's place. Jay's 2 bedded apartment was made of glass and overlooked the harbour........

To our delight Jay loved cooking and we would often come home to find dinner waiting for us... and sometimes even a glass of vino!
Jay's fresh snapper cooked on the BBQ - yummy!!

For the month of June Sydney has an amazing light display, VIVID where the harbour, quayside and bridge, as well as a few important buidings are lit up......

Becs met up with the lovely Ana... so we made the most of the lights and had drinks with a view... at the opera bar and blue bar on the 36th floor!!

Unfortunately for us Jay sold his little apartment in July so once again we were looking for a place to stay for the last 7-8 weeks. We found a place in wollstonecraft with a lady called Katie. Katie liked hats and cats!!!

At first Terry was put off by her cat 'Smuggles'... but they quickly became playmates and i would often get home from work to find him laying on the floor playing with the kitten!!! Cute!!

In the last few weeks Terrys good friend Warren came to live in Sydney so was great to catch up with him....

So 6 months working in sydney came to end.... i was a little sad to leave the many gymnasts i was teaching.... but at the same time exhausted from teaching 6 days a week! Terry was just pleased to stop working full stop!

So the next part of our adventure begins... first stop Alice Springs and Ayres Rock....
