holiday in australia part 5: from byron bay to port macquarie

Filed Under: traveling by Chris — 1 Comment

after fraser we finally drove down to byron bay. 700 km left to sydney. byron is the number one hippie city on the coast i guess. everyone here seems stoned or worse. maybe thats why the owner of the hostel we were staying in kicked us out for no reason on christmas eve. he has been a real all-australian-asshole. so don’t go here. it is a big ripoff.

we had christmas eve dinner in lennoxheads at a stunning beach and champagne breakfast at the morning. but christmas in austrlaia is just not the same. i’m starting to miss home a bit.

still seven days to go. right now we’re in port macquarie. they have the most beautiful beaches i’ve seen yet.
let’s go surfing….

holiday in australia part 3: surfers and brisbane

Filed Under: traveling by Chris — 3 Comments

December 20, 2008

the last few days we hang out in surfers paradise, perfect weather, nice waves and my first attempts to go surfing. i can say i wasnt that bad ;-) ok. maybe i was. but at least i managed to stand up on the board a couple of times.

surfers is a typical tourist city, scyscraper-hotels everywhere next to the beach, shopping malls, and night clubs. and that’s what we’ve been up to. shopping, drinking, dancing and getting sunburned. nice.

after that, flo and i went to brisbane again, where we met up with valentine who just arrived from singapore to join our roadtrip. some brisbane city visiting. i don’t like the city that much. nothing very special about it. but therefore, we’ve been staying at beautiful house in ipswich (near bris), where some friends of flo are living at the moment.

as i’m writing this blog entry, we’re about to leave for fraser island. one of the most beautiful places in australia people say…

italy and sicily 2007

during july and august 2007 me and my girlfriend took our time off. forgetting about the german summer that was such a mess again. so italy is nice this time of year, especially sicily. to be honest it was fuckin’ hot and we got a serious sunburn after our first beach day in cefalu.

i’ve put together some of my favorite pictures of a truly amazing holiday. italy is such a nice place to be, but believe me on thing: never ever ever ever travel by train. delays like TEN HOURS aren’t unusual.
