every story has a different ending

People in Sydney surely have been quite surprised driving to work beginning of the week. On one of the motorways going into town various street lamps were carrying posters with a different message. First, you go "Oh how cute is that" but a few meters further it's a totally different story. The posters where put down during the day, but people are still wondering, was that for real? Was there a Jennifer crying her eyes out or just somebody laughing out loud? Nobody knows....

tonite´s gonna be a gooooood nite

Let´s go out in the city tonight.

cheers mates!

It hasn' t really stopped raining the whole day of yesterday... what a drag! We went
to Sydney Wildlife to see some Koalas, Kangaroos and all those "cute" spiders and
reptiles there are in Oz! The most venomos spider in the world lives in Sydney...
hhhmmm, revise my decision....!?! The Koalas were really cute! Cuddling up to sleep
all day long! The afternoon we spent shopping, you could shop till you drop here...
seriously... unfortunately the season are revised here, so we can' t really do anything
with all those awesome autumn stuff back home.... damn! :-( The summer stuff that is
on sale .. is as usual only available in the big sizes! Oh well!

At night we met up with some Aussies and joined them at their after work drinks...
that was fun. Met a lot of people. We went to some other bar with some other people
we just met there at the pub. They were saying the bar we are going to is really
trashy and not that hot... so I was thinking some place like in the Schanze or Kiez...
but surprise the place was really cool! Not at all soo trashy. There we met other guys
from Sydney... it is sooo easy to met people here. All of them were doing after work
and the best thing is, all drinks until 11pm - it was like 9 pm back then - is on the
company... yep, they were all wasted! ;-) So, we chatted with this group of people,
and they looked like Advertising guys, but turned out to be lawyers... ok. We got
teased because we went to Kiwiland... why in the world NZ!! Well, it was quite fun, all
drinks were free for us as well, so we joined the office party there. Australian beer
isn' t all that bad, eh! ;-)

Today we spent a bit hung over at Bondi Beach.
The sun decided to shine for us on our last day down
under, so we headed to the beach! Did some coastal
walking and chilling in the sun! Nice day! Compared to
Australia now, NZ really has this end of the world feeling to
it. Auckland is compared to Sydney a village! :-)

So, tomorrow we will unfortunately fly back home... looong
way to go again. We are really sad to leave... it hss been a
rally awesome trip, time flew by like crazy. We haven' t
really gotten the chance to really realize where we have
been and what we have seen in NZ. Sooo much to see
and do in soo less time. I will be back though soon!

After 4000 km on the road and 20 days at the end of the world, our trip comes to an
end... it' s a wrap!
Thanks for keeping up with us and I will see some of you in a few days! :-)

Sydney @ its best

Oh , we love Sydney!!

This morning it poured down rain like crazy! we were pretty pissed, not a repetition of
Auckland, please not! Anyways you can also do a lot of stuff in Syndey while its bad
weather so we hit the streets and walked all the way up to the CBD to get some
brekky on the way. After we went to the Queen Victoria Building to check out my
favorite store, Witchery, it finally cleared, thank god! We went down to The Rocks
and did the Phylon look out climb, to see the city by daylight this time. Awesome
view. It still feels really unreal to actually stand in front of the harbor bridge and the
Opera House now.

The rest of the afternoon we spent at the Botanic Gardens. There we discovered that
one shouldn' t be surprised or even scared if the eels that are in that little pond there
eat the ducks!! aaahh, yeah... glad we didn' t know that when we were in the
Waitomo Caves wading through waist deep water with eels in it. Maybe just the Oz-
eels eat meat!! ;-)

After we almost got lost in a huge underground mall, somehow all of the innercity
malls are connected, we went down to Darling Harbour to have some "after work"
drinks.

Now we are gonna hit some bars here in Newtown! :-)

good day Australia!

Good day from Australia!! :-)

Catching up on some free internet access while waiting for the rain to stop. yeah,
right, Sydney and rain ... again... it was really sunny in Auckland this morning. Great!
We were up at like 4>30 am since we had to catch the flight at 8:50am, return the car
and since it was an international flight, be there three hours in advance! Hurray!

Arriving in Sydney was somehow like coming home... :-) We caught a shuttle - since
it was the cheapest way to get into the city - and the Indian driver dropped us of in
Newtown saying that the hostel we are staying in is across the street... well, it turned
out it wasn' t and we had to walk 4km to reach this freaking place! Aaarghh!
The hostel is really great - thanks Maria for the recommendation - we are not staying
in the main building but next door, so it' s more like a shared house, typical Sydney
style! The room is pretty neat as well.

Now I am gonna show Anke around the city. Am leaving asap since in this TV room,
where the PCs are, there are like 20 backpackers lying around watching TV... you
just want to scream at them! Don' t they have anything to do at all!!!??!!!

Oh it has been wonderful, as always! We walked all the way down to the Opera
House so we could still see it at twilight. It was awesome. So surreal though. There
we also watched a spontaneous performance of some artists which was really good.
Sitting there on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.... way awesome!! :-)
