Hej igen.

Saa kom vi til en Internet Cafe, saa jeg kan lade jer vide, at jeg stadig lever :)

Det endte med, at bilen som Jonathan og Daniel (Jon og Dan) havde koebt, ikke var klar til afhentning om fredagen, saa vi maatte blive i Sydney til loerdag. Det passede mig egentlig fint, da jeg jo var booket ind paa Wake Up! en nat til. Det betoed saa ogsaa, at jeg havde lidt ekstra tid til at opleve Sydney i. Saa foruden Aquarium og det maritime museum fik jeg ogsaa set Opera huset og broen, samt oplevet Sydneys natteliv med drengene. Maa aerligt indroemme at naar man foerst har set Operahuset, er det egentlig ikk saa super fascinerende - og saa er det mere beige/beskidt-agtigt frem for hvidt, som paa postkortene. Men hey, saa er det oplevet. Dermed sagt at det nu ikke er sikkert jeg vender tilbage til Sydney senere, som ellers foer naevnt. Maaske kun for at se den Olympiske park.
Gik i seng kl.7 loerdag morgen og stod op en time senere (ved fejl, skulle 'foerst' have vaeret oppe kl.9). Toemmermaend og mega traet. Drengene stod foerst op kl.11.30, og vi ku endelig komme af sted. Vi hentede bilen ved 'Humbug Engineering' - og ja, 'humbug' er ikke et ord som saadan paa engelsk, men jeg kunne ikke lade vaere med at smile lidt skaevt, da jeg saa det. Og det var lige saa luset som navnet. Toni, saelgeren var mere interesseret i at drikke oel og se hestevaeddeloeb, som han tabte en del penge paa, end han var paa egentlig at faa den her Holden Commodore klar til os. Efter et par timer kom vi af sted - saadan da. Vi koerte halvanden km inden bilen gik toer for benzin, der var et soem i forhjulet, reservehjulet var fladt, intet vaerktoej til at skifte hjulet med, og alt var bare lidt underligt. Heldigvis var vi koert i en mindre cirkle, da vi skulle koebe en madras ved en butik i naerheden, saa vi gik over og fik det hele ordnet ved Humbug. Og saa af sted.
Foerste dag koerte vi mod Newcastle. Kom forbi Palms Beach, hvor vi alle koebte bodyboards og saa tilbragte nogle timer paa stranden. Super laekkert. Dernaest koerte vi mod Newcastle, hvor vi handlede lidt ind og parkerede paa en p-plads ved McDonalds, og saa overnattede vi der. Jeg tog passagersaedet, mens gutterne delte madrassen bagi. Og saa koerer vi ellers paa skift, saa hver mand faar lov at sove foran. Skal siges, at der ikk er megen plads, men vi har det sjovt.
Soendag koerte vi videre efter at have faaet et dejligt, gratis bad ved 'Oliver's Cafe'. Vi endte i Booti Booti National park, hvor vi langt om laenge fandt et sted at parkere og overnatte. Vi grillede noget kylling og drak noget hvidvin.
I gaar, mandag, stod vi op til en baconsandwich, pakkede sammen og koerte mod Ellenborough Falls. Super flot vandfald. Det endte ogsaa med at vaere der vi overnattede. Igen stod den paa grill, oel og x-antal insektbid.
I dag har vi vaeret paa stranden igen. Denne gang i Port MacQaurie, hvor vi er nu. Omkring 35grader i dag, saa det var rimelig varmt.

Vi ses

For the english reading people...

Finally got to an internet cafe.

The car Jonathan and Daniel (Jon and Dan) had bought wasn't ready for pick-up Friday anyways, so we had to stay another night in Sydney, which suited me fine, as I was booked in to Wake Up! for another night anyways. It also meant I had some extra time in Sydney. So besides the Aquarium adn Maritime Museum, I saw the Opera House and the bridge, and the nightlife of Sydney, as me and the boys went out. Gotta admit, that when you've first seen the Opera House, it isn't all that extraordinary - it's more beige/dirty than white as you see on the postcards. But hey, saw it - been there, done that. So maybe I won't return to Sydney, as I wrote in my first blog. Maybe just to see the Olympic park.
Went to bed around 7am Saturday, woke up by mistake one hour later. Had to get up to check out by 10. I was hungover and pretty tired. The guys didn't get up until 11.30am though. Vi picked up the car at 'Humbug Engineering'. Humbug might not be a word in English, but in Danish it basically means bulls***/bullocks/balony, etc. And the whole deal was about as weird as the name. Toni, the sales man, was more into beer and horse races (which he lost a lot of money on) than actually getting this Holden Commodore ready for us. After a few hours we finally got on the road - shortly. 1mile and we were out of gas, the right front tire had a nail in it, the spare tire was flat and there was no jack or wrench. Luckily we had drivin in a cirkle as we were picking up a mattres, so we went across the road to get things sorted out with Toni.
The first day we headed towards Newcastle. Drove by Palms Beach where we all bought bodyboards and spent a few hours on the beach. Lovely. Then we headed to Newcastle, where we parked at a McDonalds parking lot and spent the night. I was on the passenger seat and the guys shared the mattres in the back. Every day we switch so everybody gets to have the passenger seat. It's crowded in the car, but we get by and have a good time.
Sunday we moved on after having a shower. We ended in booti Booti National Park where we finally got a place to park legally and have a fire. Grilled chicken and got some white wine.
Yesterday, Monday we had baconsandwiches for breakfast as we got up. We then drove to Ellenborough Falls. Nice, big waterfall. We also stayed there for the night. Once again we had a barbi and got some beer and x-amount of insect bites.
Today we went to the beach at Port MacQuarie, which is where we are now. Around 90degrees today so pretty hot.

Later
