More travels

Next stop was Red Rocks, a tiny litle dot on the map! Not many people know about this place it is so small, but they are all Australians and come here for the holidays year after year. We were so lucky to get a cabin for the night! There was no supermarcet at the place, no restaurants just a litle local kiosk.....BUT there was a liquor store!!! So we got our red wine and beer :-) It was really nice going to the small, quiet beach the morning after and take a dip!



After Red Rocks we went to Byron Bay, which I love. The laid back atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. There we went to the most easterly point in Australia, where the view was great. We walked down to Julian Rocks which was good exercise for lazy tourists...hehehe..











The view over Byron Bay!









The next stop was Sunshine Coast where we stayed at Mooloolaba and it was so great to be back "home"!!! I showed S&E Varsity, where I lived last semester and the Uni. Unfortunetely the Uni was closed so we couldn't see anything on the inside. But they got a pretty good feeling about the life at Uni.





We held Christmas in Brisbane. A litle bit different from our usual style, I must say, but interesting nevertheless. Some friends sent me christmas decos so we tried to make our hotel room a litle bit cosy...and our alternative Christmas tree...!!! But mom brought of course the most important things: Laufabraud and Noa Chocolate mmmm so we had real Christmas despite the heat.






Next days we wandered around in Brisbane. Nice city but it isn't Paris! This guy was pretty cool, playing Christmas songs on beer botles hihi. Then mom and Eirikur went home to Iceland and I met Cecilia, and we headed down south again in our rental station car... the travelling must go on!

Hæ dúlla.

Alltaf svo gaman að geta fylgst með þér Habba mín.

Voðalega finnst mér margir vera að fara að eiga barn núna í vor. Þú veist um Margréti Backman, svo er það Unnur á næstunni held ég, og svo Alma, já nýjar fréttir, Alma á að eiga í lok apríl sitt fyrsta barn og það er drengur.Þannig að það er gaman að þessu.

Jæja, málari mættur til mín til að laga dáldið, better dash,

cheers lass,
Sigga.

Hæ skvís.

Unnur átti strák þann 6. feb. in case you didn´t know.

Allt gekk vel hjá henni.

Brjálaður stormur hér í dag og í kvöld.

Gestir hjá okkur frá Danmörku, og verða yfir helgina.

Ekkert merkilegt í fréttum, allt bara í fína. Ég er með Sex & The City æði þessar vikurnar. Glápi á þetta á öllum mögulegum stundum.

Hvað er að frétta af þér?

Ciao frá stormasömum klaka,
Sigga.
