Current location: Bondi Beach
11.11am, On the beach with (deep breath): Andy, Mum, Dad, Pippa, Jo, Vinny, Zac and Bea. It's the Pyrahs last day in Australia today (sob!) so we all went to the beach for fun in the sun! We had such a lovely day, in the sea, playing on the beach (Andy not so much as he fell in the skate bowl and hit his head/shoulder/elbow/ankle and spent the day trying not to pass out!). Pip and I went for a swim at Icebergs, which I've been wanting to do for a while, and we all just felt so lucky and lovely!
After a good few hours and probably too much sunshine, we decided that a good way to spend the last evening would be at Circular Quay, seeing the Opera House and Harbour Bridge at night. The boys were up past their bedtime, so it all felt pretty exciting, and we ended up at Opera Bar drinking champagne and eating pizza.
As if the evening couldn't get any better, as we were just starting to yawn and planning to wrap it up and go home, an amazing fireworks display started above the Opera House. We were all pretty dazed, amazed and in awe – it has just been so amazing having the Pyrahs here and, even though we were getting a bit emotional at the thought it had come to an end, it was all just tooooo amazing to be anything other than positive about it. I love my family so much, and feel so privileged that they have come to visit and that I have been able to share SO many experiences with them here. Thanks Sydney, for providing an beautifully surreal ending to an unreal holiday!
