Blue Christmas

The Blue Mountains

Hello, Santa Claus! Before the meat is cut into, here are a few dates of the flip-flop Group on the current situation in the far south-east. After a few days on the coast, we moved inland to the capital Canberra, virtually pure culture ... went from there, the wild ride continues towards the Blue Mountains, an impressive National Park on Sydney's doorstep. Well now we're in Richmond, a suburb of Sydney, where we prepare ourselves mentally and morally for the evening Microwave Christmas Dinner.

Jenny and the Sea ...

Canberra

If you're already in a foreign country on business trips, you should also visit its capital. So off to Canberra. The guide warned that this is not just stitched the (koala) bears, we travel without great expectations of this city that 100 years ago halfway between Sydney and Melbourne has been built from the ground to hurt any egos. On our arrival we will be surprised after all. Not because the city is so great, but because we run in the Parliament building Matze and Micah on the road. The two are just passing through and actually on the way to Melbourne ... The world is a village! Otherwise, shows us Canberra unerstaunlich amazing. Apart from the interesting architecture of the government district, which is the center of the city, Canberra is at most through a wealth of museums and galleries score.

The roof of the Parliament Building

We also use smooth, probably around our shrunken brain cells to revive a bit. In the new Parliament House, we met not only the boys but also to a sprightly pensioner, who took us to a larger group by the Parliament and us, the Australian legislature said.

The next morning we went straight to the Questacon, the Technical Museum in Canberra for more young than old. A real art-museum, you can call it, because to get unfortunately gives too little knowledge. But it was also rather for the little ones: flight simulators, little teasers Flashes of light and magical illusions are still a few moments.

Honey, who shrunk the Basti?

wanted after the physical stuff to look at Basti nor the building of the National Portrait Gallery, that was touted in the guide as a madhouse. To the disappointment of that untruth again to make up, we visited the free exhibition and were very impressed many beautiful portraits of significant Australians and their life stories expanded our cultural horizons. After so much technical and intellectual Firlefranz it went back into nature.

... on the way towards the Blue Mountains ...

Blue Mountains

away a good 2-hour ride from Canberra to rise almost unnoticed, the Blue Mountains. Unnoticed, because you actually continue on a large level (plateau) is located. Just that here flows over many millennia have raged and cut by deep canyons into the country. So so ... Anyway, we come at some point in a valley that is home to a campground, but otherwise seems particularly inhabited by kangaroos. Everywhere bounce around the critters. If one night from the locus returns, these industrious jump scare a miracle almost to death because they bounce around like the idiot of course. Arrrgh! [Sorry, I have to sometimes just wipe the foam from your mouth! Jenny continues ...]

times ... very nice ...

... dedicated time in a double (to become mothers !)...

... let the beatings. stumbled

During Basti on the night of kangaroos is, I wondered more about the ethereal fragrance that I streamed forth at night, then like a flash flag that exactly what I am to discover, that we are in a eucalyptus forest!

The next morning the sun welcome you with a smile, we decided to extend the campsite and made our way for a small hike. It was already noticed by the eucalyptus forest, its inhabitants (colorful parrots, lizards, Butterflies and kangaroos) welcomed us with cheerful chirping and flapping their wings.

uncle Uwe Quote: "Do you know, these colorful birds Papagays"

... and more. ..

... a beautiful dragonfly was also on site ...

... and a small butterfly.

The goal was our hike a small stream whose origin and end guess we could go and gave us the opportunity for a snack (actually just, because I was previously slipped and my shoe And the socks were soaking wet).

... a small but beautiful canyon.

Since we were still full of energy after the hike, we purchased two more tickets for a cave exploration. The cave was Kooringa us to be very spectacular advertised and this time, the promises come true, too. Guided by a talkative Australian Ranger, we discovered the small cave in the area, which had grown to offer thousands and thousands of underground formations. In the harmonic beam of light and accompanied by the knowledge of the Rangers, we were impressed us about this natural wonder.

... was a short detour: one of the Womboyan-Caves.

After the days of the kangaroo intuition, we drove really well into the Blue Mountains. In glorious weather stops us smaller led to various view points from which they had some wonderful views of the canyons, always close to the proverbial abyss.

The Three Sisters, we learned a little about the Aboriginal background of mountains and were soon at sunset admiring the blue haze of the mountains (blue because of the oils secreted by the Eucalyptus trees)

... after a small climb.

Richmond

This suburb of Sydney has done to us. But not because he is idyllically situated on the Hawkesbury River, but because he has a senior center of excellence. Here is everything that can double heart beat faster. Nice cafes, good restaurants, NEN's own hairdresser (focused on permanent wave), plenty of room to play lawn bowling, petanque, and a slot casino, where you drop the third out. For us particularly interesting knock-down prices to a parking space for our campers, including free Internet. We consider whether we to the Christmas dinner, which this year turns out right microwave-heavy, might want to look even a game of bingo in the senior center. That would certainly be filled with fun. And then when I expected the five magic letters (BINGO) call, that would be the best Christmas ever.

... Ho ho ho ... high!

you out there like a spectacular, peaceful and abundant gifts-bringing Christmas! Until the days!

Enjoy the holidays and especially the delicious food! We think of you and come with a glass of Australian wine in the festival of love and family!
