Målt med en store målepind er vi ca. halvvejs, det kan ikke være meget galt. Nu kan man virkelig mærke at vi er kommet til varmere egne, idag mødte vi de første sukkerrørsmarker lige uden for Grafton, og der var rigtig mange af dem på den følgende strækning, og på den allersidste del af turen dukkede de første Banan-plantager op. Blomsterne er meget længere fremme her end de var i Melbourne-området og der er et lydbillede her om aftenen af cikader og græshopper så det er helt vildt. Hvad der er knap så behageligt er, at det også vrimler med 4-6 [View Full Entry]

Today was another driving day. We had a great walk along a beach looking for Humpback Whales in the distance, but saw none. Beautiful walk anyway :) Also I've been asking if we could soon have a "resting"day. I can just feel that my head needs to cope with all these amazing impressions of all the new stuff going on, and besides it's getting a little stressful always being pulled out of bed, having to pack and then setting off, but that's the way of things when you're travelling with two morning people and you are yourself more of a getting-up-at-noon [View Full Entry]

Endnu en dag med sol fra en stort set skyfri himmel. Vi besluttede i aftes, at vi ville starte med at køre ud til Nelson Bay/Fingal Bay og se om vi kunne spotte nogle Pukkelhvaler. Ret flot tur ud på Tomaree Peninsula, hvor de tilsyneladende dyrker en del vin og når de ikke laver vin spiller de golf. Vi parkerede ved Fingal Bay ved 10:30 tiden, tog vandrestøvlerne på og gik ned til stranden for at gå ud på Steaphens Point, der er adskildt fra fastlandet af en meget smal sandtange. Der var advarselsskilte om, at man ikke skulle passere tangen, [View Full Entry]

Yup, it's true :) We've been driving all day, have had some great walks along the beaches and after dinner we wanted to see if we could catch a weather report on tv. Didn't happen. Instead they were showing The Lord of the Ring; The Two Towers, and of course we had to see that one :D It's just ended, I'm off to bed, and you must all have fun and take care. See ya! -Nim [View Full Entry]

Today we left Manly Beach and Sydney behind, although we spent an hour at the internetcafé again and I went to have a look at a lovely pair of shoes and a cool swimsuit. They didn't have the shoes in my size :( and the swimsuit wasn't perfect on me, and it'd had to be with that price! So without anything else holding us back, we spent the next 2 hours trying to get out of Sydney. We finally succeeded and had a lovely drive north. We ended up in Raymond Terrace where we got to watch Spiderman 2 before we [View Full Entry]

Efter en dejlig nats søvn op til en dag med strålende sol. Jeg var oppe et kvarters tid før de andre, så jeg gik ned til stranden og dyppede tæerne i Stillehavet. Jeg synes vandet var for koldt til et havbad, men det var rigtig mange der tog en morgendukkert. Da jeg kom tilbage var Hans Henrik kommet op og vi gik hen til vaskeriet og hente det nyvaskede tøj. Uheldigvis havde Hans Henrik glemt en kuglepen i et par shorts, så både shorts og en T-shirt var ødelagt. Kineseren undskyldte, at han ikke havde checket lommerne for genstande, men sket [View Full Entry]

Today we started out by spending 1.5 hours at an internet café finally uploading journals and pics so all of you can see what we've been up to. It was hard work, but good to get it done, and it's great to see one's pics online knowing that people back home will enjoy them almost as much as we enjoyed being there when they were taken :) After that it was almost a repetition of Melbourne - not that it felt like that though. We went to see the Sydney Opera House (not like Melbourne) and it was very beautiful. A [View Full Entry]

Bilfri dag, vi startede efter morgenmaden med at gå ned til kineseren og aflevere vasketøj, som vi så kan hente - rent og nystrøget - i morgen. Derefter netcafeen, hvor vi endelig fik lagt nogle billeder og dagbogen (Io's) ind. Det vil sikkert glæde mange derhjemme. Det tog længere tid end forventet - der skulle jo også msn'es med Benjamin - især billederne tog det lang tid at få oploadet. Men ved 11-tiden var vi hjemme på Manly Lodge og pakke rygsækken for at gå ned til færgen og tage den til Operahuset. En rigtig dejlig sejltur på 15 min - [View Full Entry]

Vi sov længe idag, den var næsten 8 før vi kom op; vi hørte allerede i aftes at en busfuld husmødre fra Melburne skulle spise kl. 8, så vi havde udsat vores morgenmad til 8:30. Lækkert som de andre dage. 9:15 var vi i bilen igen, men denne gang kørte vi kun få km, da vi ville besøge "De Tre Søstre", en klippeformation, hvorom legenden fortæller: "I rigtig gamle dage var der en høvding som havde tre meget smukke døtre. Han var i stand til at forvandle sig til andre dyr, bl.a. En Lyrehale fordi han havde en magisk knogle. Nede [View Full Entry]

Today we spent till noon in the Blue Mountains admiring the rock formation called 'The Three Sisters' and the rainforrest around it. It was a beautiful walk through the gum tree rainforest in the valley, and we were told why the rocks are called 'The Three Sisteres'. According to Aboriginal legend there once, in the Dreamtime when the world came to be what it is today and the ancestral spirits still walked the earth, lived a man in the forest with three beautiful daughters. Down in the valley a malecious spirit lived in a waterhole, and when the man went out [View Full Entry]
