Mardi Gras

I had the pleasure of being in Sydney for the big Mardi Gras celebration! There was a huge parade on Oxford Street... traditionally a gay run celebration, is now enjoyed by the entire city. Huge floats and costumes danced the streets. I was at a roof top party, which I brought Lizzie and Sophie to... the guys from my work brought me. We had a nice areal view and got to avoid the chaotic streets... though it did look like great fun!

After the party I went out with Harry, who I worked with- a native to Sydney, his girlfriend and their friends. It was the first time I was hanging out with real Sydney folk, going to real Sydney bars- I have to admit it felt nice to feel normal and not like a backpacker- though I did miss my friends that day! We went to Good bar... awesome spot and an after hours place... no clue where... but the bars were what I am used to- very similar to the spots in Melbourne that I love and places from home- the burg. I met one of the guys that kind of runs the place... and his model girlfriend... we hung out a bit... and I embarrassingly saw them at my brekky spot the next day... and yup, I was still wearing my dress... oops!

Obvo the day made me think of P and Brent... and the mermaid parade... wish you could have all been there!
