... but the windows are dirty. It always amazes me that they haven’t got a system for keeping the windows clean when they are adv**tising and selling the view. They also push the “skywalk”. For just an additional $40, you can lock up all your possessions, including your cam**a, dress up in a blue suit with harness, and walk outside onto a platform which has a glass floor. While I love to do stuff like ...

... tenders, and get organized early and our one of the first down to the Vista Lounge for our tender tickets. Get onto the tender fairly quickly. Just as we are arriving at the landing, Dianne notices that we haven’t got the snorkeling equipment bag. Murray has left it back in the lounge, so volunteers to go back on the return trip.

Jahrhunderts) gelaufen. Hier schließen die Läden übrigens Punkt 18 Uhr!! Trotzdem hat's noch zu einem kurzen Einkaufsbummel gereicht - aber dass der etwas kürzer ausgefallen ist macht gar nix - denn wir waren nach diesem ...

Jen left on the 12th September it was weird dropping her off at the airport & not going with her, I was quite homesick that day so made sure I rang all my family on the webcam.

After a long flight from LA to Auckland, we were pleased to hear that we would be arriving a little earlier than planned in Sydney!
We arrived in Sydney & headed in search of showers! We had planned to meet a couple of fellow couchsurfers (Art and Amy) and spend the next 5 days in the outback with them & we were leaving this afternoon, so we wanted to get ...

So later that night, Jeremy, a Texan fb'd me and came down to meet up with me and we would go to the city and meet up with some swedish girls that i had talked to on FB, well after about two hours we finally made it to the bar that they were at and just sat and greeted and had a few beers, and by this time ...

Gegen Ende der acht Stunden lernte ich den Suedkoreaner Tiau kennen, der auch work&travel in Australien machen moechte. Der Flieger ab Incheon hatte eine Verspaetung von einer halben Stunde. Um 20.30h Ortszeit ging es dann endlich los. Noch mal an die 10 Stunden Flug ...
