I arrived in Sydney mid afternoon on the Thursday and spent the afternoon just chilling out In the hostel. The following day I went out in the afternoon I walked to the botanical gardens and upto the opera house and the harbour bridge. In the evening I went out to watch the rugby at a bar but was still in bed quite early, Saturday went quite slowly I spent the morning trying to find somwhere to buy rugby tickets from. I spent the afternoon lazing around and I met two American guys Cole and Nick who were staying at the hostel we went out in the evening for a few drinks. Sunday I went to the Sydney Football Stadium to watch the traditional Anzac day derby between the sydney roosters and the st George dragons the ... read more

Beautiful people, climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge, an amazing hostel and wine that tasted like ribena… read on to hear what our week in Sydney was like… After a crazy bus journey and a loooooong plane ride, Charlie and I descended on Sydney unaware of how expensive everything would be and how stylish everyone would look. The hostel we stayed in, ‘The Blue Parrott’ was brilliant. Really friendly and welcoming and as there were quite a few long-term residents it had a real community atmosphere. After a well needed wash when we arrived at about 11pm we both crawled straight into bed! The next morning, we rose like the sun and set off for a walk around Sydney. Morwenna, a friend from School, was also in Sydney at the same time so we formed a merry trio ... read more

2-26-10 I guess Natasha wasn't too sick of us yet, we had planned to go to the beach but when we went down to meet her it was raining like crazy so we swapped our swim suite out for rain coats and headed out into the day. Natasha had her two daughters with her so I squeezed in bewtween the baby seats and laughed with Vilet the 1 year old and tried not to piss the 3 year old Cleo off too much. Due to the less than ideal weather we decided to go to Luna Park and ride some rides then do a sightseeing via car trip. We went to lunch at Watson's bay then watche the girls play (and eat) the sand. Then we got back in the car and drove to Bondi Beach ... read more

Servus, Heute waren wir wieder bei Ellen. Sie und ihre Tochter haben uns zu einem kleinen Café in Glebe gebracht wo Emily uns einen ihrer Freunde vorgestellt hat. Ben besitzt ein kleinen Café und ich hab mich bei ihm vorgestellt und er wird sich die Tage melden. Naja mal schauen ob das was wird. Langsam sinkt meine australische Euphorie! Anschließend saßen wir noch einige Stunden haben gegessen und haben uns mit Emily und ihren Freundinen unterhalten. Ich glaube für Lena war das ganz erfreulich mal mit Einheimischen und nicht nur mit Asiaten und Deutschen auf englisch zu reden. Haben uns über das deutsche und australisches Frühstück unterhalten, was man sagt wenn man jemanden nicht mag (go to Gaff (oder so ähnlich; ist eine Schlucht hier in der Nähe)), etc. Diese ja-mal-schauen Mentalität kann ich langsam nicht ... read more

Servus, Ha, das erste Bier! Da ich mir relativ unsicher war wie man hier mit Alkohol umgeht, haben wir die Bierflaschen in den Papiertüten gelassen und die Weinschorle in Trinkflaschen (von der ACU) umgefüllt. Nervös wie 15 jährige haben wir uns in den Park geschlichen und haben gemerkt das es dort noch tierisch zur Sache geht! Von angefahrenen/-gefressenen Wombats und Fledermäusen über Biker die ihre Tricks ausprobieren bis zu Mädchen mit viel zu hohen Absätzen und viel zu kurzen und viel zu engen Kleidern (dazu später noch mehr) gab es aller hand zu erleben. Bilder haben wir natürlich nicht gemacht. Weil die anderen Mädels das schon für uns übernommen haben.. naja.. Ist nichts besonderes passiert. Ich hoffe meine Worte beleben eure Phantasie zu Genüge! Nach dem "Vorglühen" sind wir dann in The World Bar (http://www.theworldbar.com/ ; ... read more

Happy Valentine's Day Well quite a bit has happened since our last blog so thought we would do an update for you. After our last blog we moved on to Byron Bay and spent three nights by the beach (along with about a thousand ants). You may also be aware that we are now engaged. If you didn't know by now suprise lol It was very much a spur of the moment thing to propose but I'm glad I did it just felt right. I had to type this so we could fit it all on to one blog as someone could take the whole blog talking about the proposal (yes it was amazing lol) As for the beach what a lovely place we could have stayed there forever which we did except if it rained. ... read more

Ello’ mates, Good afternoon from Perth, Australia!! As I sit in the airport waiting for a plane to Brisbane I anticipate my blog will be filled with improper grammer due to the fact that Australians speak like “spasticks” as they called them also known as a retard haha..its definitely rubbing off on me. They seem to shorten everything as in university is now a uni and board shorts are swimmers or boardies ha..also everything common to me and you is called something different; such as a redneck type person is called a brogen, getting drunk is sometimes reffered to as getting on the piss, how you doing is called a how ye goin’ and a cooler is called an eski. This is our third flight in a week and we’re excited to get to the sunshine ... read more

Después de mi viaje por el sur de Australia y descubrir Melbourne y por supuesto el inolvidable Tasmania, volví a lo que en este mes llamaba casa, el mejor hostal de Sydney, vuelta a “The Original Backpackers”. El primer día ahí me encontré a Steve y al español Eric, es como si nunca me hubiera ido todo seguía igual, así que nos tomamos unas cervezas en el patio y se empezó a llenar como siempre, aparecieron luego Fabien y Eva. Comenzomos muy pronto unos cuantos a jugar al famosos juego “Yo nunca, nunca” quien haya jugado sabe que terminas bastante pedo y cogiendo mucha confianza con la gente a parte de enterarte de muchas cosas y reírte muchísimo. Terminamos todos en el World Bar, es un bar que esta genial y que esta abierto todos los ... read more

Bienvenido a Sydney, Australia. La idea que tenia era que iba a ser una mezcla entre Europa y Estados Unidos, en realidad no se puede comparar a nada es maravillosamente diferente, ni mejor ni peor, simplemente nuevo. Llegue en avión desde Bangkok y pedí ventana desde internet ya que era un viaje relativamente largo, unas 7 horas, cuando llagamos a embarcar me pidieron la tarjeta de embarque y me apartaron de los demás cuando me lo devolvieron, me di cuenta que era uno nuevo... ya no tenia asiento con ventana.... estas cosas solo me pueden pasar a mi así que fui a preguntar porque y es que me habían metido en Business.... empieza bien el viaje!!!! Los aviones en Sydney solo pueden aterrizar por el día, ya que el aeropuerto esta muy cerca de la ciudad. ... read more
