Dinsdag Vandaag een ritje richting Blue Mountains. Katoomba om precies te zijn. Op de heenweg nog even op zoek naar een nieuwe voorruit, maar deze zoektocht levert niks op. Na aankomst in Katoomba aardig hostelletje gevonden, die maar geboekt en dan een stukkie lopen. Al snel zien we ze dan in het echt: The Three Sisters. Een van de grote attracties van deze bergen. Daar hebben we dan maar eens een foto van gemaakt. Terug in het hostel een Nederlands sprekende Nieuw Zeelandse en een Engels sprekende Nieuw Zeelandse ontmoet, Jo en Monique. Spelletje kaarten lukte niet vanwege de ontzettende drukte tijdens een wereldreis, dat wordt uitgesteld. Woensdag Vandaag staat de scenic railway op het programma. En dat is het dan eigenlijk ook wel. Dus het duurt even voor we alledrie op gang zijn. Een aardige ... read more

Ja, saa sitter jeg her igjen da, paa flyplassen i Sydney. Moette paa en australsk dame paa flytoget som skulle til Sydney for aa besoeke barnebarna sine. Diskuterte forskjellige flyplasser rundt i verden, og jeg foelte meg veldig bereist. Naa er alt klart. Jeg har telt over eiendelene mine fire hundre ganger i dag, men jeg sitter allikevel med en ekkel foelelse i magen at jeg har glemt noe... Jeg har dobbelt-telt og trippelt-telt passet mitt (1), billettene mine (8), og pengene mine (mange). Ojoj, fem minutter igjen paa internett-tiden min. Det er naa jeg skal ha masse inspirasjon, og skrive noe innsiktsfullt og lurt om det aa reise... Vel, det var det da... Ok, ikke veksle ALLE pengene dine til utenlandsk valuta FOER du forlater landet, man ender bare opp paa flyplassen og er sulten, ... read more

A bunch of us from Swanston Street C.O.C headed to our first Hillsongs Conference for 7 days. I was with four other girls in one apartment, with one bathroom. Surprisingly we didn't kill each other! I remember Lil being on the mattress next to mine on the floor. When you're seeing and living with the same people every day for 7 days, you develop a bond and Lil, Von, Chrissy and I are still the best of friends until now, despite Chrissy being back in Mauritius. ... read more

Arrived in Sydney. Scott and I bought a camper van this morning and it is soooo groovy! It is brightly painted with flowers, mushrooms and a sunshine, and has curtains, a bed, carpet, a little camper stove and a cabinet to keep all our clothes etc in! The weather here is weird. It was pouring it down with rain this morning, so we spent all morning getting soaked whilst running around trying to buy a van. Some of the ones we looked at were pathetic, but when we saw this one we bought it on the spot - hope its OK. The weather is nice now and we are at Bondi Beach...guess why I am here at e-mail instead of sunning myself and regaining the tan I lost in New Zealand? The retard at check-in in ... read more

I wanted to get a few things today, as it was the penultimate day of my holiday, so Bryan and Damon took me up to the shopping mall, where I got some shirts for myself, and also a couple more triple camera film packs which cost $11 (£4) each. I also bought a couple of videos which I had seen on sale: ‘The Odd Couple’ and ‘The Odd Couple 2’, which are two of my favourites. We went home for a short while after that, giving my wallet some time to recover from the shock. Next stop was Darling Harbour, in Sydney, where we were going to visit the Sydney Aquarium. We parked in one of these large multi-storey car parks, and it was only a short walk on from there. They had remembered that I ... read more
