Sydney, eine liebenswerte Metropole

Sydney is the biggest city of Australia even though it isn’t the capital city. Sydney offers many things that we are not able to see within two days. Therefore we have to give priorities.

We go by taxi from the airport to our accomodation, the Cambridge Quality Hotel. We were surprised that the quality was better than expected. At first we go to the tourist information in Sydney at Darling Harbour. We booked the bus line CityExplorer which takes the tourists to the sights. On every stop you can change the bus and so we got off the bus at the Aquarium with its biggest Great Barrier Reef department of the word. We went in tunnels of glas under big sharks enjoying the funny seals and admiring the many river basins and sea water basins.

A huge amount of australian uniformed children wearing big sun hats came along with us. It is funny to watch the pupils on their school excursion… it is a long time since…

The trip continues with the CityExplorer to the Syney Harbour with its Harbour Bridge and certainly with the uniquely designed Opera. At first we try to get rid of our tiredness in a café what partly succeeds.

DSC01018We are enjoying a Aboriginie Didgeridoo Band at the pier, it is a nice beginning for our upcoming tour through Australia. It are quite impressed to have been in Germany few days ago and today to be in Down Under with its sights.

During the tour with the CityExplorer we are convinced by our tiredness so we only are able to notice the explanations of the guiding tour. DSC01057

After a short nap in the hotel we are going to the Sydney Tower and are taking a aerial view of Sydney. In an altitude of 304 meters we got a impressive view of the city.

Having eaten a Thai-snack we are going back through Hyde-Park to the hotel. At aproximately seven o’clock we are so tired that we are sleeping very deeply for every quater of an hour while speaking. Surely it takes over about an hour till deciding to go to bed.

Flug nach Australien, Part II

Thank god we had a stopover in Singapore – that made flying easier and makes the particular flights managable. This time we flew only a few hours but we are beaten up. It doesn’t matter, the only thing important is that we arrived – at the destination we had dreamt of for so long.

Sydney welcomes us warmly. We are curious for the experiences we are going to learn. Firstly we are going to discover the metropolis of Sydney and after finishing the adventure city trip the adventure through the Outback of Australia begins.
