More travel stories

Hi again everybody. I'm back at the coast now and momentarely living in my old room at campus. I am looking for a new place to stay and the dream is to find something at the beach. I hope it will all work out. I have a lot to do now, so I try to keep occupied every day. On my To Do list is:
  • Find a new place to stay
  • Make CV and look for a job
  • Transelate a Danish book to Icelandic
  • Applying for Scholaships
  • SURF

But you know how it is when you have "all the time in the world", then sometimes not all that much happens. But I have started the most of it :-)

I got some friends over as well, and met the friends that still are here at the coast. Love beeing back and seeing them all again. Am looking forward to start Uni again, so I'm pretty positive!

About the comments! They come to me first and I have to agree to put them on the site, so thats why you cannot see them as before. I don't even know why, but I like it...

And here comes the rest of my travel story:



Mom and Eirikur came to Sydney couple of days after Henry left to Denmark. They where really excited about beeing here and took probably thousands of photos ;-)






We walked around the whole city and enjoyed the beautiful Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the Rocks, the Botanic Gardens and so on.... We even went to listen to Mesiah in the Opera House which was really cool. 500 people choir which was pretty amazing, but I have to admit that I think it would have been more thrilling in a house with better acoustics. So I guess the story is true about the conditions inside of this georgious house!




We rented a car and went to Blue Mountains, a beautiful National park near Sydney. We arrived in the afternoon and it was raining and really foggy. It cleared up the morning after and it was amazing to see the fog wanish in the speed it did. We did a 2 hour bush walk which startet off with walking down hundreds of steps down an 100 meter steep slope. At the end we took a railway up similarily steep slope and tunnel in the mountain. Pretty cool! We drove around the area and checket out some of the other lookouts. Beautiful place. And the litle towns are so nice and cute, our favourite was Leura, but that was maybe effected by the litle shops we mom got enthusiastic about. I got Australian Christmas balls of a Koala and a Kangaroo ;-)

Then we drove off to Hunter Valley where we tasted some really good wine and chees. The surroundings where beautiful and we had a really relaxing time with a lot of good food! Luxury life travelling with the old folks, I can tell you that!

I'm working on putting more photos in the album and I'll let you know when all the travel photos are there so you don't have to see the same photos over and over again :-)

Love Habba
