Tourist of Oz

My trip to Australia in February 2007 is a fact, as insane as it feels to me (I’m not much of a traveller). I’m going there for roughly three weeks. First my best friend is having a wedding, then they go on a honeyweek and I’ll house-sit and dog-sit. Finally, they’ll show me around Sydney for about a week.

Busy busy busy…!

This week has been really busy. On Tuesday I went in to the city for the first time when we had dinner at Sydney Tower (Centerpoint Tower). (…)

Baked dinner

I was invited to dinner Friday night. It was a traditional Australian baked dinner apparently. We had lamb, chicken, sweet potato, potato, corn, broccoli, peas, and I think one dish was pumpkin. (…)

Cronulla Beach

Here food, there food, everywhere food food

On the plane we were fed 4 meals (two breakfasts, two dinners) plus a snack bag (which I lost, but that’s alright cause I probably couldn’t have brought it into Australia) — that’s insane! (…)

The wedding

My reason for coming to Australia was of course my best friend’s wedding (not the movie). The wedding was held on Sunday 11th. (…)

First day

:: Friday, Feb 9th 2007 @ 0:36 :: Tourist of Oz ::

My plane landed almost on time around 6.20-6.30 am in Sydney. I had a transfer in Frankfurt and a stop in Singapore. My suitcase got here with no problem, too, which was nice. (…)

Sydney, Sydney

Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it — Sydney, Sydney
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - Sydney Sydney
