It was Saturday night (17th December) and a gorgeous cast assembled in the Shangri-la hotel at the rocks for the closing ceremony of 2005. There were heels and fabulous jewellery, collars and leather shoes, makeup and blow dried hair, cologne and an annual bath....the SRF were spruced up and ready to party.
The Blu Horizons bar is on level 36 of the above mentioned hotel with the most amazing view over Sydney one could ever have!
Of course the main reason we were there was to sample the famed cocktail menu....when I say sample, I mean sample, as that was just about all we could afford! Cocktails started at about $17.50 for a classic martini and went up to $10,000 for a Blu Diamond Martini (real diamond included and 24 hours notice needed!). We decided to stick with the lower priced end and indulged in fabulously coloured works of art with names like Geisha kiss and Serendipity.
Gotta love seeing Mattes delicately sipping a colourful fruit extravaganza!
After the Cocktails burnt massive holes in our wallets we moved on to cheaper beverages, but kept the glorious views by stopping in at the Opera bar. How much do I love Sydney! The city just gives such a fantastic backdrop to any night out! Pity these two got in the way of the view....
As with any good night out, things ended with the obligatory Maccas stop...keeping with SRF tradition there are no photos of this part of the night!
Merry Christmas everyone.
