Blue Mountains, Kangaroos and Opera

---

Yesterday we went for picnic in a national parc and in the evening we treated ourselves to Opera tickets in the Sydney opera house. Amazing! We saw Alcina by Haendle and it was just beautiful! It was good fun dressing up for the occasion. After almost for month in Teva sandals and baggy shirts we felt like the king and queen.
Today was the day of great Australian nature: Karl took us on a trip to the blue mountains and we enjoyed great views at Katoomba.
The weather was odd though: it was raining but through the rain the sun still shone so hot that we felt like covering up or standing in the shade. And across the plain at the 3 sisters we could see lightning and rain in the distance which was quite a spectacle.
The Karl took us to a national park where there were lots of really friendly Kangaroos. They were just hopping by or grazing and weren't really bothered by us walking around. I must say: that was some pretty good hopping!
I won't write a lot more but let the pictures tell you the rest.
Lots of love Terry and Claudi

Say hi to all the aussies!
Dear Claudi and Terry! I'm so jealous of you! I really must travel to Oz again very soon. It's just a shame that I already know that it'll take a couple of years until I can go. I enjoyed Australia very much and it seems that you do too. So - have fun exploring! See ya, Christine
