Last days in Australia!

Work! But cuddle me meanwhile!
We spend another day folding mail...

... with the cat wanting to help all along!


After work: Bondi Beach!

Sydney Fish Market! I have truly never seen anything like it.


Fresh Sashimi!

Of course we couldn't say no...

And we just called it Holger's second birthday...

...went to Port Botany...

... for a swim...

... and Holger got another present: a bluetooth keyboard for his iPod!

That's our shared house - we live here with one Indian, one Sudanese, one American with Greek roots - and our Chinese landlord!

And Spooky, the dog.

That's our landlord telling the rules to our housemate - only kidding of course, just helping to cure his back from his painting job.

How to shrink two years of your lifetime into one bag again!?

We've sold the Dan! Sad but happy too. He's in good hands, and we got a good price for him.

Chinese New Year!

Darling Harbour:


Monorail:


Sydney at night.

The last days with our beloved Dan the Van.

Last camping trip with Dan the Van into the tranquil woods North of Sydney.




Eating up all our stuff.

Boogie Board table - baking bread and writing diary.

Alfoil onions and pumpkin with butter - yum!

Our fantastic cast iron pot - doesn't only bake delicious bread and makes great roasts but also: popcorn!!

A walk in the woods and lots of visitors at our campsite:

Wild turkeys and Rainbow Lorikeets...




Monitors run up the trees when they feel threatened - be careful not to stand in their way if they get threatened by something else then you, they might run up your leg!

We worked (yes, you won't believe it ;-) for one day (...) packing mail and our employer's cat kept jumping on the table or - went to sleep in the envelope box!

Bondi Beach


Fantastic Sydney - great pubs, great views, great life.
