Happy New Year from Sydney!!
We had a pretty quiet new year celebration. After a lot of discussion, we decided not to join the throngs of people packed under the bridge to watch the fireworks. It definitely would have been cool to see the fireworks by the harbor, but from all we heard & read, it was too much crowd for us!
Here are some pics of the crowds building up throughout the day.

Boats started lining up along the harbor early in the afternoon.
And the park by the bridge filled up steadily throughout the day.

| At 1, 6, and 8 PM |
Luckily our apartment is close enough to the bridge that we had a pretty good view of the show from our balcony. It was certainly nothing compared to the view people had down by the harbor, but the evening in pjs drinking champers made it worth it to us!

Toby and I send warm wishes for a fantastic 2013 to all our family & friends!! May the upcoming year be wonderful for each of you!
