In airplane, we were bored

Well the trip started at about 5 AM wednesday morning.

We flew to Austria, where we meet up with the 2 austria guys, and then we were all on our ways to beautiful land of Australia!
We arrived in Sydney about 14 hours after we started ... which made it about 5 PM on thursday... It was absolutely beautiful, first thing was feeling the hot air! We went from about 0-5 degrees, to around 25 degrees... it was abolutely amazing.
Anyways, we figured finding the place where to live, to be main priority, so we headed off... obviously funny enough we started in the wrong end of the street.. and we had nr. 509 ... ! and imagin all of us carrying all our laugge 509 nr down a road ... Well we found it, newly restored hotel, really nice place called "wake up"... it was easy and very cheap!

We spend the rest of the evening, wondering around Sydney, taking loads of pictures, which im trying to upload... hopefully it will go well! And in a desperate attempt to get some food, we took KFC ... (fast food) ... Anyways seeing sydney by night was an absolute fantastic

experience, that ill never forget!

Next Morning we decided to get up early and get fresh start discovering the beauty of Sydney, we started with a light breakfast at our favorit MC Donald... 😉 and yes we are gaining weight...
We headed down to see the opera house in full daylight, so beautiful.
We bought something called a daytripper to use on all trains busses and boats in all of sydney, we took the boat to an aquarium, where its possible to see the australian water wildlife, under the water, seeing the sharks svim around you is fantastic experience.
Later we visisted darling harbour, and a restaurant with some very delicious food, and it was so cheap...! We went to a chinese garden, in the middle of Sydney, unbelivable beautiful... it costed 6 dollar to get in, but it was worth every penny!
When we went to the aquarium we bought a ticket to also see the tower of sydney, so we went there afterwards to the tower, and watched sydney in all of its beauty... !
Then we got tired and decided for a 30 mins nap, which turned into a 4 hours nap... and obviously we were

starving... and spend about an hour to find a "cheap" but also fair enough good food, obivously we were tired of all the fast food..! we ended up in a british look-a-like bar, and got some nice BBQ Ribs... !

Today ...

Well we started again early cuz we had to be out of the hotel before 10 am..!
So we did, and we had agreed to spend a day on the beach... so we did ... we went for this awesome place called Manly Beach.. ! Which is like more or less a surfer paradise... with surfer shops all over and beautiful beaches! we spend about 6 hours at the beach, getting tanned and well sun-burned .. !
Afterwards we took the " long " trip to long point camp, which is the place we are going to live at the next 5-6 days.
And we arrived at about 6 PM..! So overall its been fantastic trip so far, its been probably the hottest day EVA.. about 30 Degress. So we are basicly burning up.. .

Tomorrow is prob beach day... maybe some snake finding... and such anyways updates will come so subscibe to the subscriber
