Saa er der nyt fra syd for Stenbukkens Vendekreds. Vi har sagt farvel til kiwilandet og paabegyndt vores store rejse Down Under. Foerste stop var i Australiens stoerste by, Sydney. Fire millioner mennesker (plus det loese) har valgt at stuve sig sammen her. Et valg der dog sagtens kan forstaas. Tager man et hurtigt view ud over byen vil man se et vaeld af storslaaede bygningsvaerker. Centrum er prydet af enorme skyskrabere med glasfacader og neonlys. Midt imellem dem stikker en kaempe wirestabiliseret pael op, prydet med en guldkuppel paa toppen. I daglig tale kendt som Sydney Tower der med sine 305 m. er en af de hoejeste konstruktioner paa den sydlige halvkugle. Herudover vil man se Sydney Opera House, den dansk-designede kulturhoejborg som ligger perfekt placeret ud til vandet med udsigt til den lige saa ... read more

As we woke up today nothing but the beach crossed our minds, it was beautiful outside. We have to queue for the shower as even tho we're in another little condo there are about 15 girls to one shower. We got to the beach and sand was everywhere! (quotation from Dani, will explain to those who care when I get home). The wind was strong and i couldnt contain to mingingness of sand all over me all day, so left the beach about 3. I have forgotten to mention my leg. Its been hurting for 3 days now, I dont know what iv done to it, just feels like a muscle is permanantly pulling, not good, so am now using deep heat and stuff!

Up early for pancakes that were on offer at a cafe for $3, a must for Shrove Tuesday. We went on the internet also, all before we had to move out of our dorm at 10am. We went to the Qantas office to change our flight dates again and also to enquire about adding destination (which was not possible) and looked at flights to Fiji. We then went back onto the internet to research Fiji, but in the end we decided against going, plenty left for us to still see. We were due to meet Simon, Debbie and the kids Atia and Stkye (apologies if mispelt!) at 10.30 ish for a day on the beach and they were bringing the picnic, woohoo! Unfortunately, due to no fault of their own they didn't get to us until ... read more
