Sydney Harbour Bridge

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 …

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 …

Ich weiß, ich kann nicht unbedingt die besten Filme machen, aber vielleicht reicht das für einen Eindruck, wie ich den Sonntag Abend in meiner neuen "Heimat" verbracht habe.

ALSO VIEL SPASS BEIM ANSCHAUEN !!! :)

P.S. Dank des australischen Internets hat es drei Stunden gedauert, das Video unten hochzuladen.

I came to Australia to work for study in Europe this year, so I don't really have any holiday plan. I just play it by ear. Last month, one of my coworker who’s from Taiwan as well, she asked me if I want to go to Sydney for Mardi Gras. I thought, why not? I’ve never been to Sydney before. And now, I could have the chance. I brought out …

Hi aus Sydney,

der Flug von Adelaide mit Virgin Atlantic verlief problemlos, jedoch gibts bei Virgin kein Tauchgebäck und wir haben die Dame am Check In ein wenig bezirzen müssen um nicht haarscharf mit dem Gewicht drüber zu sein. War aber unser letzter Flug wo das Probleme machen könnte, ab morgen bleibt ein Koffer temporär in Sydney.

Whilst I was travelling down the east coast to Sydney I saw a town called Newcastle which had Jesmond and Wallsend suburbs, it felt quite close to home. The overnight bus was supposed to arrived in Sydney at 12.00 lunchtime but it broke down about 45 minutes from Sydney on the Highway. The police had to close off the lane and we all had to sit …

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.

A new country, a new climate and a new currency. We were looking forward to the first two, but not the last! The current exchange rate for the pound is 1.4, so nowhere near the 10.9 we had in Bolivia!
The airport was a bit of a mission. We were a little worried about customs so we declared everything down to our packet soups. They weren't too …

De wind is aangetrokken en heeft ons geblazen naar het tweede continent van onze reis. Australië, of meer specifiek Sydney, is helaas alleen een overstap locatie op weg naar Nieuw-Zeeland. In het vliegtuig doen we ons te goed aan diverse flessen wijn omdat het heerlijk is om weer eens een wijntje te kunnen drinken. Ook de beenruimte in een …

... matter. We girls weren't dressed for the weather and threw towels over our shoulders like capes when we walked across the Harbour Bridge. Saturday morning, after a heavy night partying, I joined new friends Ian and Matt for a slightly hungover BBQ at ...

... asleep once! My time in Oz was nearing its conclusion, and perhaps realising this, Rie and I went and sat down near the Harbour Bridge...until 4am! We virtually had Circular Quay to ourselves by that point, and it was pretty special as we looked out ...

... we'd had a good day, and a real bonus came when the boat returned via Darling Harbour, meaning that we sailed right underneath the Harbour Bridge. I could now tick off a few things on Donna's to do list, but there was so much more to look forward ...

... to do them with. All I've seen of Sydney is the four square blocks around the hostel. No Opera House, no Harbour Bridge, just tall buildings. Looks like Vancouver. The confusion about every little detail of "travel life" is rather overwhelming. ...

... Sydney, just the other side of the Bay to Sydney City) back into town. We headed to a tour with a difference - the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb. The whole tour takes three-and-a-half hours, which includes ½ hour training, kitting up into what I call a ...

... Opera Bar which is right on the harbour edge and this is where we stayed until 3.30am dancing outside with the opera house and harbour bridge behind us.  What an experience - what a night.  It did not disappoint in any way and we will always ...

... The walk was fantastic and the cliffs and beaches are spectacular. After winding down from that I walked into downtown Sydney again, up on to the Harbour Bridge and headed up the Pylons, the famous lookout from the bridge. A quick 2 hour trip to the ...

After a morning spent browsing in the many music shops, Rie and me headed towards the Harbour Bridge in the afternoon. We'd been debating whether or not to do the Bridge Climb (extortionately priced at $160), and indeed we've still not decided to this ...

... was a track anywhere, it stated it was a 'circular walk' in fact) and take a couple of standard tourist snaps across to the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. On the continuation of the walk we were passed not once, not twice, not three times, but four ...

... 45 minutes ago. OOps. Needless to say we made our way back to the ferry and took the crossing via a great sunset over the harbour bridge. 17th March 2005 Sarah finally did it. She managed to pluck up the courage and go and get her hair cut. The ...
