We put our bicycles on friday evening in a cupboard and spent 3 days in and around Sydney.
#Get Wet Part 1 - Adventure
Canyoning
On Saturday we were
invited by John and Mardi to a canyoning tour in the Blue Mountains including a
“real” bush walk. That day was the pearl of our Sydney stopover @ John and
Mardis place. They had organized all the necessary equipment (wetsuits, harnesses,
shoes, dry bags, karabiner …) in advance and planned the tour for us. He and
Mardi guided us very professional, so we felt safe all the time and we
could really enjoy the canyoning tour. It was a lot of fun as well as awesome,
very impressive, breath taking,… the light, the colours, the steams, the
shapes, sounds, …
We will never forget
this unique day! John even showed us the “glow worm caves”. For me – Johann –
it was quite difficult to get there because of my enormous waist circumference :-( . Finally I managed and could enjoy the absolute
darkness and thousands of glow worms. It was like starry sky.
John and Mardi thank you sooooooooooo much for that day.
#Get Wet Part 2 - Surfing
& Beaching
Of course we had to
visit the famous beaches in Sydney. First we started to spot out the Manly
beach, nearby where we stayed the last days. Great spot, but the highlight was Sunday
on the well-known Bondi beach. Imagine, all inhabitants of Kempten go beaching
at the same time to the Alpsee. The result? Overcrowded but lovely :-)
The first one finding Claudia on the picture will get a free drink when we are back in Kempten :-)
John gave us some
surfing lessons on his neighbours surf board in front of his flat right
under his balcony (perfect place to live - it's like heaven). Afterwards we were encouraged to improve our surf skills on our own and
started developing our own surfing style. LOL.
It was soooo much fun.
We thought about buying a surf board and carrying it with us on the way to
Brisbane. But unfortunately our bags are already full :-(
# Heimatgefühle
Die letzten 3 Tage in Sydney bei John und
Mardi waren wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes. Wir hatten super viel Spaß beim
Canyoning und beim Surfen. Ihr seht es ja selber auf den Bildern… Bilder
sprechen mehr als Worte.
Hier ist es wirklich traumhaft schön! Am
liebsten würden wir hier bleiben und die restliche Zeit surfen und durch Sydney
schlendern, aber uns wurde auch wieder
mal bewusst wie schön es auch bei uns zu Hause in den Alpen ist. John und Mardi
hatten ihren Jahresurlaub in den Alpen verbracht und uns gestern davon ihre
Bilder gezeigt. Die Heimatgefühle wurden noch verstärkt, als wir heute Tiroler Gröstl mit
Kaiserschmarren als Dankeschön für die Beiden zubereitet hatten. Hmmm lecker. Vielen Dank für die unendliche Gastfreundschaft und Unterstützung.
Morgen ist wieder vorbei mit faulenzen, dann brechen wir auf Richtung Brisbane..
