Medina On Crown - Surry Hill Sydney

... into oncoming traffic! I went to the front desk of the hotel to check in and they didnt have my reservation! GREAT I thought. They asked for my reservation paperwork and turned out there are TWO of the hotels I am staying at in Darling Harbor! Hopped in a cab and got to the right one and it was all good!<br><br>Wandered around Darling Harbor for a few hours, took a nap and then went to ...

... Da hat uns allerdings ein Wolkenbruch einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht und wir haben uns für ein Taxi entschieden (wer rechnet denn hier auch mit Regen??)! Zurück im Hotel haben wir die Wettervorhersage gecheckt und der Wetterfrosch sagt für die nächste Woche jeden Tag Regen voraus - das heißt, dass wir die kommenden Tage sehr spontan entscheiden werden, was gemacht wird - genug zu sehen gibt es ja!!<br><br>Genug gequasselt - gute Nacht! <br>

... jeden Fall gelohnt &amp; ich haette diese Fahrt bess** schon am all****sten Tag gemacht, weil ich jetzt endlich v**stehe, wie die ganzen Vi**tel hi** zusammenhaengen und ich haette mir den ein od** and**en Umweg lock** **sparen koennen! So viel zum Thema Orienti**ung... Zum Beispiel ist Darling Harbour direkt hint** dem Queen Victoria Building, und King's Cross liegt hint** d** St. Mary's Cathedral... das macht vieles einfach**. Fu** diejenigen, die laeng** bleiben.. :-)<br><br>Dazu ...

... water which sparkled brightly from the Australia (ozone free) sun. In the distanc, behind all the slendor of nature stood the Sydney City Line (including the opera house and harbour bridge). The city looked so peaceful and powerful at the same time.<br><br>That Saturday night a group of us went off to discover downtown Sydney and Kings Cross. It was a very unique experience; it resembled something I imagine New York City would look like if all the ...

... br><br>From there we headed to the mountains. They aren't blue- its just the fog around it that gives it a blue tint, and they aren't mountains, more like hills compared to the Rockies. Lets say I was disappointed. The tour continued to scenic world- which wasn't included in my tour so I sat outside waiting an hour for everyone else. Wasn't happy about that. The brouchure said I would be back by 6- which I thought included the aquarium which was included in my tour, only ...

... saw a koala move! Becky now says that they are her favorite animal. Saw sleepy looking wombats, lots of snakes and lizards (one of the snakes was eating a white rat for lunch) and went through various different animal walk throughs. The kangaroo/wallaby/emu walkthough was very good, Lazy looking kangaroos sunning themselves just a few meters away. One of the ...

... dem Leben in diesem Land sehr wenig positives abgewinnen kann. Das Land an sich ist traumhaft schoen und absolut einen Besuch wert. Es ist aber bestimmt nicht besonders erbaulich staendig meine mehr oder negativen Blogeintraege zu sehen. Auf der anderen Seite kann ich einfach nicht mit allen so regelmaessig in Kontakt bleiben wie ich es gerne moechte, meine Familie eingeschlossen, und so kann man wenigstens hier lesen, wie ich denn so ...

... up on the way up. Seeing as it was 11pm when they got here, we had no choice but to let him stay in the cabin, as he would have slept on a park bench for the night, which turned out to be a favorite past time of his. But we dropped him off in the morning and then Nick and myself made our way into Sydney to checkout the sights and sounds. My God, Soooooo much walking that day, we started off by taking the ferry from Paramatta to Circular Quay and checked out the Opera house, the City ...

... was great catching up though - wee Noah is such craic! Yesterday morning, dazed and sleepy we arrived at Central Station - Sydney - NSW! We checked into our hostel (which is great! Clean and airy and quiet and friendly :) ) and went for a walk round the city. Its so good to be here after years of hearing about it from friends and family - its really nice to be in a proper city again - with big shops and buildings and hustle and bustle...in the afternoon we ...

... funds are quickly dwindling. On Sunday, the St. Patrick's Day parade took place near Hyde Park, and then a big celebration took place in the park with bands and vendors and about 35,000 people. I went with Lori, who goes to Kellogg with me, and another exchange student named Devi who is from Toronto. Lori's friend Sophie also met us later. The day was pretty hot and sunny, and we just kind of sat around, watching the bands and ...
