The Hen/Stag Do
Thursday 9 March 2006

First stop - a jetboat ride around Sydney harbour.

Hands up those who have a bad feeling about this.....

Shaken but not stirred - Mark wisely left most of his clothes onshore... The rest of us had to buy new clothes....

After the jet boat it was on to drinks at the Victoria Rooms and dinner at the Dragon Den in Darlinghurst - great job in organising this Tegan!

Russell : "I can be your stripper if you want...."
Michelle : "Better not, people are trying to eat"

More than ten years - Doug and Tomoko going strong!

And after dinner it was on to Karaoke!

Groovy

"Marky" Mark Mercieca wows the ladies....

Michelle first learnt of Russell's sensitive side during an emotional rendition of a Japanese love song at a Karaoke box in Japan

Honeymoon

We took our honeymoon at Daydream Island in the Whitsundays in Queensland - near the Great Barrier Reef
