Home!
The 31 hours of travelling is behind me. (…)
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.
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). (…)
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. (…)
My friend’s mother-in-law took me to Cronulla Beach today. On the way there we drove through a national park and it was like in a jungle there! (…)
I’ve noticed some things that are different in Australia — besides the obvious of course. (…)
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! (…)
My reason for coming to Australia was of course my best friend’s wedding (not the movie). The wedding was held on Sunday 11th. (…)
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. (…)
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
