Sorry for delays with pictures, but to find fast copmuters it is a miracle.. ;-)) Z Adelaide dotarlysmy do Sydney samolotem bardzo wczesnie rano 30.12.07. Nie zdazylysmy sie jeszcze rozpakowac jak Ilona dostala telefon ze jestesmy zaproszone na lodke. chcialysmy sie nieco przygotowac i odpoczac niestety zostalysmy poinformowane ze jest to 9 milionowa lodka i nikt na nikogo nie bedzie czekal ;-)) Lodka faktycznie byla supernowoczesna i mialysmy farta bo takimi nie czesto sie plywa. ludzie , z ktorymi pynelismy smiali sie jak sie dowiedzieli ze dopiero co przyjechalysmy i mialysmy takie szczescie. Szczescie jak szczescie ale ja mam chorobe morska!!! Wlasciciel kilku milionowej lodki dal mi kapelusz na glowe i kazal zostac na swiezym powietrzu. W sumie bylo nawet ok. Sydney jest piekne, pogoda wysmienita, a z lodki jeszcze piekniejsze. Opera House, most, piekne zatoki...ehhh ... read more

14th - 16th Dec We arrived early morning in Sydney from Central station where the greyhound drops you off. We jumped on the train to Circular Quay and the ferry to Manly. We were booked into Manly Backpackers for 3 nights. Thankfully it was only about 500 metres from the ferry wharf so not to far to walk. We arrived at 9am just as reception was opening and checked into what became hell for 3 nights, the room was a 4 dorm which looked like it hadnt seen a cleaner for god know how long. The girl who was in there asleep already had taken over every space there was to offer with all her stuff. We had to get a spare sheet from reception to put up as a curtain as nothing at the window ... read more

Well I started out at 22:05 English time on the 25th and arrived in Oz, their time 11:05 on the 27th. It's fair to say I was fucked. Singapore was a humid and warm place, although cool by their standards at a mere 28 C!! Then on to another long flight which was made more enjoyable through some lovely air hostess';) On to sydney, I jumped off the train from the airport with Chris who kindly came and met me and I was hit by the sight of the Harbour bridge and the opera house. The amount of times I have gazed at photo's of this and then to actually see them really brought home how far I have travelled. We got on the ferry and and were off to Manly. This is all I can ... read more

NATAL... Um momento doce e cheio de significado para as nossas vidas. É tempo de repensar valores, de ponderar sobre a vida e tudo que a cerca. É momento de deixar nascer essa criança pura, inocente e cheia de esperança que mora dentro de nossos corações. É sempre tempo de contemplar aquele menino pobre, que nasceu numa manjedoura, para nos fazer entender que o ser humano vale por aquilo que é e faz, e nunca por aquilo que possui. Tempo de refazer planos, reconsiderar os equívocos e retomar o caminho para uma vida cada vez mais feliz. Teremos outras 365 novas oportunidades de dizer à vida, que de fato queremos ser plenamente felizes. Que queremos viver cada dia, cada hora e cada minuto em sua plenitude, como se fosse o último. Que queremos renovação e buscaremos ... read more

Last entry was from Brisbane where we spent two nights in a really good hostel, whilst in Brisbane had a couple of good nights out, I went to an art gallery which was really good and took in a bit of the city. Brisbane is a good city but for backpackers there is not a great deal to do. After leaving Brisbane we travelled down to Surfers Paradise which is like the Malibu of Australia, high rise beach apartments back on the the ocean its a really good place, went surfing again but it was a little more difficlut this time. Went for a night out and bumped into a mates girlfriend and her mate who decided to come out with us, also on the night out was Rays cousin who he had never met before ... read more
