Down Under - Hello Sydney! arrival in Australia - suddenly everything was different: the onset of winter, dark cold snap, panic at the airport because of the swine flu, and an SMS on duty: something for a beautiful site could choose to Sandra to to learn that she has again become aunt?? The Little Lea was at 6.6. Sandra was born and makes twice a proud Aunt! Two weeks ago Sandra was always tense, always looked to your mobile - now back then silence.
So, Australia: We were picked up by Lauren, our first couch surfer who has lived in Berlin with us. As we left the airport, we were quite high on the fresh, cool air that we had been missing for so long! While we Early morning through the deserted Sydney skyline went (we had a night flight), Sandra experienced a violent flashback, and had to think back on her time in Auckland, New Zealand, then 2002nd While Sandra finds Auckland looks so like Sydney, but in small, remember the architecture, the cars, the more of my products, etc. Time in the U.S., then in 1995 we have grown old man, oh God .... In the three days we spent
with Lauren and her brother, we saw next to the famous beaches (Bondi Beach, image below) is particularly Sydney's inner city, and an impressive skyline, but even more from the port with the Harbour Bridge and the Opera will be minted. Everything is clean, orderly, and everywhere are public toilets with toilet paper! From the beginning, we realized instantly that nothing would be so, as in Asia. We realized that we are in the three months in Southeast Asia sometimes so used to the local poverty, the chaos and backwardness had some, they are no longer so special auffiehl ... can mean little things make
But the big difference of the Worlds. People give honest and clear information, not everyone wants to sell come hell or something, we can enjoy safe food. We are no longer staring at comic. On the other hand, we begin to miss some aspects, especially the daily adventure that was inevitable through all points just enumerated, and are always presented in new and interesting samples ...
On the first day it was probably the infamous Roast Sundays, a huge leg of lamb from the oven. Gabs on the second day at the beach picnic, where we were compelled to eat a Vegemite sandwich evening and a great barbeque on the balcony of Laurens friend, with a view of the skyline, and a few hearty Kanguruhsteaks. The others are recommended from an environmental point of view, the "Roos" emmi pets no methane gas, not trampled fields, and are very energy efficient, all in comparison to cattle.
We planned our trip to Australia, bought a 30 days and 10,000 km Greyhound Busspass, and then made our way slowly to the .... The Plan: High north to the Great Barrier Reef, then turn west into the outback to Ayers Rock, and untenrum back to Sydney! That everything, and much more .... in 5 weeks. Let's see!
