3 a.m.

On Saturday morning we woke up at 3 a.m. to attend the dawn service which started at 4 a.m. They Anzac Dawn service is in memory of all the soldiers who've fought in the wars & those who are currently fighting. It was pretty amazing, and very touching.

Afterwards we all headed to breakfast...There was 8 all together who attended. Just didn't get photos of the rest! Yummy breakfast over at the Hyatt on the harbor, we watched the sun come up! Something that I usually don't get to see on a Saturday morning!!! =)

Pete & Rob after the service...sleep was wearing on them by this stage
