Part I - "Leaving Singapore - Australia, I'm coming!!!"

Hey Hey all,


as promised to a lot of you guys, here is my travel blog which I will try to update as much as I can within the next few (hopefully very exciting) weeks on the road in Australia and Thailand. I will be writing in english, which saves me from writing a german and danish version as well.

So let the adventure begin - here is the plan:
Travel East Coast Australia for 7 weeks
Start in Sydney - 19/09/2010
End in Cairns - 05/11/2010
Singapore 05/11 - 12/11
Thailand 12/11 - 27/11
Singapore 27/11 !!!!

I left Hamburg on the 31/08/2010. After 2,5 weeks in Singapore with lots of fun and a very busy flat search - btw, Joakim and I found an amazing 3 bedroom flat, so no excuses for any of you not to visit!!!!
18/09 - my last night in Singapore. We went out and had a lot of fun!! I left the guys at 3.30 am, thinking it might be a good idea to get a bit of sleep before I get up at 6 am to go to the airport.... Fortunately I did pack all my stuff in the afternoon! Suprise, surpise... I know a few of you will laugh now and think typical Janne, everything planned out, of course she did pack before getting smashed!!
Well, so I did manage to get up after what ended up being 2 hours sleep, got ready and went to the airport in time. Arriving there I met Kette, who was in the pretty much same state as me, so after checking in we decided to hit Harry's (a bar) for a few drinks. Well, back on the booze at 8 am - Bloody Mary, had to be!

Perfect state to board the plane, sit down and fall asleep before take off. Flight was ok, no problem at immigration and we did get all our luggage, so everything went pretty smooth. In the cab I finally realized: I'm in Sydney baby !!!!!! Yeah yeah yeah - my weeks of travelling had begun!!
We went to the hotel and being so tired from the days before, we basically passed out.
This morning we got up, started with a veeery strong coffee hit the road. First stop: Wicked Campers to book a van in which we will drive up the coast and hopefully experience a lot of fun things which I can keep as good memories of am amazing trip.
After that we walked around the city centre, I got myself an australian mobile numbers (+61 432421495 - so pls call and text as much as you want!!) and of course took a Tourist Hop On - Hop off bus tour, which will continue tomorrow. Now I'm sitting in the hotel, having a beer and typing along.
I think that was pretty much it for the first real day in down under!!! Let's see what Sydney nightlife has to offer on a Monday...


I'm sending lots of love and hugs and kisses to all of you!!!!
xoxo, Jannepige
