Chilli Blue Backpackers Sydney

Okay, kind of a cheesy blog title but couldn't do much better in the creativity department today. We did get to watch the Super Bowl while in Sydney, but strange to see it on a Monday morning/afternoon since we are 19 hours ahead of California time and without all the million dollar commercials that are such a big part of the Superbowl. We weren't planning on watching it (glad we did though since it was quite exciting!) however we were both bedridden thanks to some nasty food poisoning that l...

Nachdem dann doch alles geklappt hat und ich meine Fluege erwischt habe, bin ich tatsaechlich in Sydney angekommen. Leider sass auf dem Flug ein Betrunkener neben mir, der staendig mit mir reden wollte, aber sonst lief alles glatt. Nach dem Stress der letzten Tage bin ich abends einfach nur todmuede ins Bett gefallen! Am naechsten Morgen bin ich dann voller Vorfreude frueh aufgestanden um meinen Liebsten vom Flughafen abzuholen!! Um circa 7 Uhr morgens konnte ich Tommy dann wieder in meine Ar...

I arrived back in Sydney after what must have been the least painful flight experience of the entire trip so far. Well done Qantas. Well done. At last you're getting it right... I had booked in to a hostel in advance at an incredibly cheap rate, but having worked out how far i had to walk and the general rates, i decided to find somewhere a bit closer to where my feet were that second. Chilli Blue Backpackers was my final choice. I booked six nights and they said i got an extra night free... ...

Fantastic four days, possibly the best I've had in months. If it wasn't for Julie I probably wouldn't have gone to the Australian Museum, The Rocks, Chinese Gardens, The Opera House, or The Botianic Gardens. Wandering around the city might have been my favorite bit, though.

Enfin, après 36 heures de voyage nous arrivons à Sydney, cette ville que nous attendions avec tant d'impatience. Sydney la ville mythique du bout du monde que beaucoup de personne ne connaissent qu'à la télévision ou sur carte postale, nous y sommes enfin. C'est d'abord l'aboutissement d'un rêve que nous avions en commun avant de se rencontrer Virginie et moi, mais c'est surtout le début d'un rêve que nous allons vivre ensemble pendant un an. L'avenir est devant nous et surtout la liberté tot...

Hei! Etter en fin flytur med mye soving landet flyet vaart i Sydney i firetiden lokal tid. Ryktet fortalte oss at Kings Cross var det beste stedet for storsparere som oss, saa vi tok taxi ut der og booket oss inn paa Blue Chilli Backpackers, et fint guesthouse med alt som foerer med. De fikk ordnet oss inn paa et rom med dobbeltseng, men whatever, kjekt nok det. Gutta paa guesthouset arrangerte felles bytur for folk som bodde der, saa vi ble med de ut paa byn. Vi gikk paa et heller kjedelig s...

Our time in Thailand was coming to an end and we said goodbye to our group last night. Having spent so much time with them over the last two weeks and surviving that hill tribe trek together it was a bit sad saying goodbye. We had a nice group of people and we have already planned a reunion for when we get back to the UK! The next day me and Sarah left our hotel and headed for the Airport Shuttle Bus stop. We were told when we got there that there was an accident somewhere in Bangkok, the tra...
