Sydney!!

We arrived to Sydney on Friday afternoon. Jacob's friend Khang picked us up and took us for coffee, cakes and later on a great dinner. From that on we have really been spoiled with good food, nice non-touristy sights, great homy feeling (very welcomed after long time in the Camper-van).

Saturday was public holiday here in Sydney, which let us wander around on the streets without cars. Of course we went for the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera house which was surreal since you only have seen those structures on post cards before...

We walked through Hyde park and saw Chinatown where we got some good Bimbimbap (korean rice-dish).

Sunday we went for the Blue Mountains, which got their names from the bluey glow from Eucalyptus trees, where we went for a fantastic bush-walk through the damp forrest (kind of a jungle...).

Then we spent the night in a nice forrest-cabin with a fireplace and had a relaxing evening. The wind was blowing hard and it was quite cold... but the fire kept us warm! We introduced "Turn eight" to Khang and realized we need another english name for it... somebody has a suggestion?? On the morning, we got to feed the native birds.

Tonight back in Parramatta (city close to Sydney where Khang lives) we have got nice german food (Flammkuchen and Pretzels) in an old church (turned into a resto, really cool!) and are now heading for bed. Tomorrow we will continue to explore Sydney, can't wait ...

Take care!
