Hyde Park Sydney

Gisterenochtend na een mega relaxte vlucht (qantas is echt wel de max) aangekomen hier in Sydney. Er zaten wel zo'n 100 schoolkinderen op het vliegtuig maar daar heb ik eigenlijk geen last van gehad. Het eerste wat me hier wat tegenviel was het weer! Geen zon te zien maar heel de dag bewolkt geweest. Vandaag gelukkig al wat meer zon! Voor de rest …

Day 1:
Arrived in Sydney @ 7.30am, Grainne and Gary picked us up from the airport, went for a yummy breakfast in the Grounds! Took the train to town and called in to Trica at work ... weather was horrible and torrential rain! Typical!

Day 2:
Our tour guide Trica took us to the Circular Quay, saw the Opera House and Harbour Bridge …

Ce matin je me suis levé tôt pour visiter le centre de Sydney. J’ai pris le train pour Circular Quay et j’ai été visiter le Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay, l’Opéra, le Jardin Botanique, et Hyde Park.

Danach liefen wir zum Rathaus um es noch rechtzeitig zur Gratis-Stadtführung zu schaffen.
Die Flyer und Karte dazu lagen im Hotel aus und die Guides (2 Architekturstudenten hatten das ganze vor ein paar Jahren gestartet und …

The weather was …

G'day!! Na vier uurtjes slaap ben ik vanmorgen toch maar opgestaan. Om 7 uur wel te verstaan. Jaja echt waar! Dat gaf me de gelegenheid om lekker rustig te ontbijten en te skypen met vriendlief en paps en mams. Zoals eerder aangegeven ben ik vandaag lekker toeristisch geweest en heb ik een 2 dagen kaart gekocht voor de hop on hop off bus. Mijn …

My last day was here at last and I was looking forward to heading home. I still had a few hours to roam around Sydney before heading to the airport for my afternoon flight so despite being sunburned from the day before I headed to Hyde Park in the heart of the city and only a couple of blocks from my hotel. I mostly wandered around the park (trying …

The past few days we had a falling out with the German girls who shared our dorm. They were very rude, even wedging Holly's straightners in the door. That day they left :) We visited St.Marys Cathedral and lit another candle. Then swimming in the leisure pool. It was great as there were hardly any people there. Later on we walked around the …

Arrived in Sydney at 7.30, but couldnt get into my dorm until 2pm so went walkabout around Sydney. Started walking down towards the main centre and was amazed at the sizes of the office building and interesting architecture. Found a park called Hyde park and its gorgeous, lovvely place to have lunch. Had a lovely walk around Darling Harbour seeing …

Upon arrival at Sydney (without getting us lost, yippee) we set up the caravan and went for a walk to Narrabeen beach and headland. The girls were amazed at the beach pool. Later in the week the girls decided to do a swimming training session at the pool. They had all good intentions (they had written a training program wet and dry land!!), but …
