I'm very excited I finally got to see the famed Sydney New Year's fireworks. I must say these guys take their fireworks seriously. So seriously in fact, that when Shawn, Martha, Matt and myself made it to the main viewing area (capacity 50,000), it was full. However, we had a plan B - in exchange for some computer fixing expertise, my family friends have told me of another good spot to watch, the only problem - it about 5 km away. Since public transit on New Year's even was not an option, we did an accelerated city tour to this place.
The views did not disappoint, and neither did the fireworks These are definitely the most impressive fireworks I've seen in a long time. They were shooting them from buildings, barges in the harbor, and the bridge itself. The experience can probably best be described as surround fireworks. Fun time (and exercise) was had by all, great company, great event, what more could you ask for.
Happy New Year!
