Bondi Beach Sydney

Me and Tobs woke up at 10 which in comparison to the family we're staying with, is almost evening. The majority of the family were up by 6, Jonny and Annie were up at 4:30!! They're subhuman!!
Jonny took us to the shops to get phones and simcards so we can text eachother which is great :)

After lunch, Jonny drove us, Chrissie and …

So this may have been the cheapest most disgusting night ever. And yet it was still fun. Toby stayed in so me and Molly headed to Bondi to meet with our new English friends from the other night. We'd already had a few glasses of wine before we went out and sat on the train having an intense but loving debate about charity, books and lots of other …

Well I'm sorry to disappoint but this blog isn't gonna be half as interesting as the previous one. This is a summary of a whole week and it really wasn't eventful!!

Me and Toby have been house sitting for a week in a lovely house with the most gigantic TV anyone has ever seen. I'm serious it's the length of my entire arm span which is …

CHRISTMAS EVE
I got back from Molly's late morning and rushed out the shops to buy the Burns family some presents! A pile of presents from Mum arrived that day too which was a nice surprise :) Thanks Mum!
Toby didn't wake up till about 2pm so we just got the presents ready and helped set up for the evening! Around 20 people came, we ate a …

A scorching hot New Year's Day in Sydney was spent hangover free and on the famous Bondi beach having a mini BBQ and few beers. Bondi is a very beautiful golden beach but very overcrowded with tourists!! And soooo hot!!

Our last day was spent chilling with Max, cleaning and packing - not very glamorous but a worthy end to an amazing 3 …

Oh boy. Sydney.

Oh, but first of all I want to kind of apologize to everyone who thought we were going to make daily posts on this blog. Let me tell you, the luxury of internet was something we instantly felt was torn from our lives as soon as we declared ourselves backpackers. If you are reading this on a strong wi-fi or any sort of …

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't believe I spent New Year's Eve in Sydney. It's something I've always wanted to do and I can finally check it off my bucket list.

So we set of from Wuhan, China on 29th December and had stop overs in Shanghai and Melbourne. The flight actually took 22 hours which surprised us considering we're already in the …

Der Titel sagt eigentlich ja schon alles. Highlight war nur der zweite Feueralarm in unserem Hotel. Ebenfalls Fehlalarm aber diesmal sind wir kurz vor der Feuerwehr im Hotel angekommen und mussten zur Sicherheit unten warten bis die Entwarnung kam …

G'day!

We arrived in Oz early (very early) on Saturday morning after our night-time flight from Bangkok. Amazingly, the backpacks followed close behind having been in transit since check-in at Siem Reap airport the previous morning. The journey was a pretty smooth one (apart from a grumpy woman at the bureau de change), having decided …

The final stop of our seven month adventure! Sydney, Australia! After arriving on an early morning flight, the day was spent exploring the city centre, and in particular, the world famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. It was really cool see such an iconic place in person, and it's just as grand as it looks in all the photos. Sydney is a …

... our Moms were on our minds.  Sylvia had to be coaxed out of bed, leading to a late start for our walk to Bondi Beach. In another hilly city we were again surprised by how long it took to get around, but when we arrived the welcoming blue water and ...

We moved on from Boomerang Backpackers on the 19th to spend the night at Coogee. We did the Coogee to Bondi beach walk which took us around 2 hours. The scenery was great, walking by an old clifftop cemetary, then onto Bronte beach, passing a few other ...
