Grand Mercure The Hills Lodge Sydney

Slept for a solid 10 hours last night! I needed it so so bad! Woke up and checked out of the hotel. Left my bags there are I wandered around the city and darling harbor to find a post office and also to do a bit of shopping!! Took lots of last minute pictures! I don't want to forget a single ...

... of humpbacks but was gutted that in the 3 hours we were there i didn't get one single good photo. Sharks suddenly appeared around the boat though, was sooo creepy, so the whales scarpered with their baby and we came back to harbour.
So this was Saturday night, can you picture me, cocktail in hand in a nice bar overlooking the harbour........ well so could i, but no I spent my only sat night in Sydney in Scruffy Murphy's backpackers ...

My flight to brisbane had a stop at sydney. I didnt know planes do that.
anyway, my trip to australia started on the right foot - I was held for 15 minutes by the immigration, who were interested in my plans for the trip. Then, the baggage desk called and suggested they'll carry my bag to my hostel at Brisbane, simply because it was held back in thailand for an extra day.

... Seit heute Nacht erlebt Sydney einen aussergewoehnlichen Sandsturm, der das Simpson desert feeling direkt in die Innenstadt bringt. Das orangene Morgenlicht war spektakulaer - da freut sich das Fotografenauge! :)

Und nein, ich habe keine Filter benutzt und die Bilder nicht bearbeitet....

Als ich aufwache, liegt mir der Geschmack des Outbacks auf der Zunge. Seltsam, die endlosen staubigen Flächen liegen doch hinter uns? Ich krieche aus meinem Schlafsack und suche im ...

... I didn't get to do last time so went up the Sydney Tower first of all, which is a bit of a rip off for the 10 minutes you actually spend at the top looking at the views. Then headed over to Darling Harbour, which from my previous visit I remember dismissing, but maybe it was the sunshine but its beautiful with all its cafes and shops overlooking the water. Went to the Sydney Aquarium at the harbour which was actually really good and ...

... on the other side of Randwick which i lived so i offered to walk her back after the bus dropped us off, since she had to walk through campus and stuff, well, she apparantly lied b/c i had to walk 2 miles to her apartment to make sure she got back alright, and then walk my ass back to my apartment which at this point was entirely uphill! Yay! right?! well it called for a chicken burrito once i got home! The end!

... myself.

I’m tired from walking but it feels good to relax before my next stop.

I’m laying in bed watching a comedian on “The Footy Show.” Hooray for diving into culture.

I got somewhat frustrated today when it took me excessively long to get to the Olympic Park. I need to do a better job ...

... wine tastings. We were with a small group which included some Americans visiting from the OC, some folks from Ireland and England. Lots of fun to share the experience with a diverse group.



- Day 3 was some shopping in a little village and then a wal around some beautiful gardens owned ...

... Lifeguard association started which is commemorated in a tiny statue alongside the pavilion. I discov** the girls didn't even get off the bus. I can see why - I'm basically standing at Australia's v**sion of Bray. Best Haggl** Ev** It's Julie's last day and the girls are in Paddys Markets - a huge complex of stalls which sell tat. I buy some new man bracelets to go with my man arms and my man boobs. Macelets to go with my marms and my moobs. They're ...
