I woke up to a lovely breakfast with Peter and Betty. With the two local parrots looking in through the window, I opened my cards sent from my wonderful family back in the UK. I then spent the day browsing the local shops and treated myself to some new earings. The rest of the family arrived around 5pm and were being very secretive about something! Then at 6pm I had a phonecall from mum and dad and I was told to look at the computer, to find they were on skype at the same time! So, along with the Hancock family, I had "Happy Birthday" sung to me at the same time in two different countries! It was lovely and really good to see my favourite three on my big day, despite it being a bit emotional when I first saw them! Whilst on skype Betty handed me the present from the Hancock family, which was a ticket to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge! I am still in complete shock and am so thankful for such an amazing present! I hope to do the climb during my last week in Sydney.
It was a unforgettable birthday and a great start to my 20's!!! I'm off to Canberra this friday to stay with Alice at her uni and to also visit a friend of hers, which is also a cousin of mine!
Lots of love to everyone and thankyou for all the birthday wishes you sent/emailed me, it was awesome and I am so lucky to have such a lovely bunch of friends and family both here and back home.
