After a swim

Brisbane to Victoria point

Woke up earliy in the hostel and not only from the bunkbed which had a soft mattress. At 6.30 they started hammering underneath the room. Not a nice wake-up call so went to the reception. But hey I was allready awake so up for a little run along the waterfront of Brisbane to Southbank. Sunny and some rain drizzling but nice warm.

After I checked out at my first hostel on this trip in Australia I went downtown for some shopping and took the train to Cleveland where my friends would pick me up from the station to go to their place in Victoria point.

Sydney Domestic Airport

Today an easy day, had to catch the flight at 8pm at Sydney Domestic Airport. I arrived 1,5hr earlier and they put me on the first coming plane so I didn't had to wait at all and arrived 1,5 hr earlier in Brisbane.

Sydney Manly - The Spit

the Manly to Spit scenic walk is about 9km thru forest and along the waters of Sydney. Lots of flora and faunas to be seen here, even on a bit rainy day. A great walk with views to Manly and all the way to the city of Sydney.

Sydney - 'the Rocks'

Tara organized a fundraiser for the Australian Orangutan Project. We had a pubcrawl in "the Rocks" Sydney starting at 14.00 - 22.00. In everybar we had about an hour as well to get into the next pub. Our dinner was in the pub 'the Australian" with great pizza's.

Sydney - Dee Why - MTB - Manly Dam

Just north of Manly/Dee Why was this nice mountainbike trail. I had a go on the big suspensionbike from Marty, just great...
