first day - on the beach, where else?
the other end of the world:

arriving in sydney - it's a huge, huge city!
but a very green one and what I love most is that there are palms almost everywhere - yeah, I'm staying, this is my town!!!

programme for today: relaxing on the beach - can you imagine the feeling laying on bondi beach - yes, THE bondi beach - facing the pacific ocean before you, melting in the sun (aproximately 30 degrees) and suddenly realizing that it's the 5th of february?
Of course I got sun-burned - and before smiling knowingly, dear flatmate ;-) , I DID use some of this disgusting fluid called sun protection, even a 30+!
what else? amazing waves - never seen ones that high and strong before, salty water - well, obviously ;-), loads of surfers and other beach boys - didn't know how tanned people can get! and, on the whole, one of the most impressive landscapes I've ever seen.

aber das war als ich noch nicht die kuestenstrasse entlang gefahren bin: naturgewalt pur - die klippen, das meer, der wind, die gischt .... abgewechselt von den genialsten traumstraenden die man sich nur vorstellen kann: tamarama beach, bronte beach, botany bay, coogee beach.. reizueberflutung, nicht mit worten beschreibbar.

on the way home a visit in an aussie super market - for fun, I simply like visiting super markets in other countries just to see what they have and we are missing: vinegar chips for example - I love them (so please, mr. supplier, could you organise them to be stored in austria as well?!).

Nachher nur mehr heim, muede vom sonnen-tag und die zeitumstellung macht mir auch noch ein wenig zu schaffen - bin heute morgen schon um halb 7 aufgestanden, freiwillig wohlgemerkt!!

tomorrow? don't know yet.
but you will read soon ;-)
