Fireworks on the Harbour

New Years eve was unbearably hot, forty something degrees. We stayed inside until the sun went down.

We went and watched the fireworks off the bow of Mark’s brother’s boat moored at Victoria Harbour. We caught a tram at 10pm, which was packed and full of happy revellers. There was such a buzz to the city, there were people everywhere. The tram was almost a party in itself, happy revellers keen to have a fun night.

The boat was moored in Victoria Harbour one boat from the end of the bay right next to the barge that was letting off the fireworks. It was spectacular. The colours were amazing, the noise was thrilling. I should have taken some photos, but I was too lost in the moment.

And, of course, Mark's brother laid it on, chicken, sea food, caviar, and champagne and wine and beer, as much as you could drink and eat. Lovely. Laying back on the plus cushions on the deck of the huge boat, it was like we had a wide screen TV to the celebrations.
