Auckland airport. It's nice, you understand, but when you have been there for 6 hours and you know you still have 4 to go before you can take off it kinda loses its appeal. I managed to grab a couple of hours of snooze time on some chairs but then some weird bloke came over to talk about the sunrise. I think I must have had my nutter magnet turn...

So, Sydney. As I said in my previous entry, it's a city. It's big, it's smelly, it's noisy. But it's OK really, and quite pleasant as cities go. On my first morning it was off to Darling Harbour to see what all the fuss is about. Essentially, it's very nice, but nothing special - fancy bars and restaurants etc. The aquarium is there (after the B...

Picture time!!! Here are the latest....... I know why it is so hard to get an Australian work visa. Anyone who comes to visit here says "I could live here". Sydney is pretty awesome. The city is so alive and vibrant, the streets are filled with people. It is very liveable. I understand the population is around 4 million and its is also a huge ci...

We have decided that we do not like the hostel we are staying at. We've had a few problems here, one of them being that we asked to be booked for the Blue Mountains Tour on sunday, and they said we were booked and we got up at 7am to get the bus at 8am, aaaand we weren't booked. So they sent us today instead. The problem with today was that the ...

Struth, It's almost over. I can't believe it, another wee little episode comes to an end. Ok, here I was weting my pants at the thought of coming to the land of poisonous spiders and snakes and what for? Somebody must have told them that I was on my way. I LURVE Sydney-mate. It's so blue and sunny with beautiful beaches and it's the right size a...

GLAEDELIG JUL OG GODT NYTAAR! **** hvor har det vaeret en mystisk jul... Eller mere korrekt - det har slet ikke vaeret jul! Vil fortaelle lidt om hvordan man holder jul i Oz... 23. dec. - Startede dagen med at staa forholdsvis tidligt op. Havde besluttet lige at faa en fornemmelse af den her by. Man skal jo lige falde lidt til, naar man lander e...

just a quick update, for those of you that dont know. Moved in with han, and then back in with dave. too complicated to explain, but obvious. sydney starting to dumb me down, particulary with christmas looming. Going to the blue mountains with hannah on boxing day which should be fun, but I am seriously considering going up the coast after new y...

I think we have walked about 50 miles so far! I exaggerate, but not by much, believe me. Our days have been really full with site seeing. The weather unfortunately has not been the best. The sun did manage to come out and split the rocks for about an hour or two yesteray, but last night was another in a series of thunderstorms they have been hav...

Hello All, Well we are counting down the days until we depart to start our trip to South America via Europe. AS usual as we travel the usual email activity will follow us on where we are but we thought we would create this formalised travel log of our journeys to let you know where we are. Not much more to sort out now as we will be packing our ...

A few pictures of what weve been up to over the past week. Since the Chinese Gardens we went for a meal up the Sydney tower, went back to the Coogee Bay hotel for another night out and went whale watching, which was great. There were lots of sea sick casualties and mom was soon joining them!! we saw loads of whales, we saw them blowing out of th...
