How To Make Lights On Rc Car

Sydney & Blue Mountains


Here is already the first update of my travel diary.
man that was a chaotic start:) From that I have fully verballert that my family arrives at the international airport and not at the national, on the surrender of the Campervan and ultimately finding the first place to stay. Wearing a further 3 hours time difference to me 10min invaded before landing Sydney once that my family arrives at the international airport and not at the national, but this was still not a problem because many taxes and the so-called T-buses run almost in minutes between the two airports to and fro. As entered by 14 clock my father and brother after three-hour delay also the first time in her life to the Australian soil, we began the search of the car rental agency "Jucy" where we picked our poison green, purple campervan, with which we definitely all noticed:)

The getting there was seen in relation to the campsite search still relatively stress-free, because shortly after 21 clock we finally have our first accommodation found after 4 times we have passed the Harbour Bridge and my father were also one or the other times had difficulty with the left. In the end, the nerves were then blank - a long flight, jet lag, fatigue and stressful traffic. But the fact that I had my beloved back to me and the first beautiful views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House could pass all the worries. While many in Germany
spent the morning with the Holy One or other alcoholic beverage, we have looked at the same time one of the hottest cities in the world! To make Christmas so beautiful and stress free as possible, we have only once bought a Sydney ticket, with which we all day, the entire infrastructure of Sydney, including the ferries are, could use unlimited. Even if one could easily spend two to three days in Sydney we have probably taken out of this one day out the best - Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Royal Botanic Garden, The Rocks, Sydney Tower, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and a ferry ... oh look for yourself:)

My conclusion on Sydney: A beautiful city that are must-see! Grandiose skyline, unique architecture, great infrastructure, a superb location and dazzling cleanliness ... it all coming together. I say just a "must see";)
At noon's went out of it again from the beautiful City and into the nearby Blue Mountains. Even if it again was a little stressful to come out from Sydney, we made it in the evening but in the 140 km distant eastern Katoomba. Apart from the fact that in Australia anyway until Christmas at 25th and we celebrated because of the temperatures were not at all in the Christmas mood, we spent our Christmas Eve relatively un-Christmassy. Mess, a meal at an Italian restaurant and a beer joint on the camping chairs, surrounded by the mountains of the Blue Mountains, this Christmas morning has yet made a special one. Our second full day of travel
belonged entirely to the Blue Mountains. "A 1200 m high, usually heavily wooded and wild rugged plateau. Spectacular rock barrier, waterfalls, miles of canyons, vast eucalyptus forests, breathtaking views and numerous hiking trails - these are the main characteristics of this extremely rich in natural beauty of hills. Owes its name to the "Blue Mountains" to the delicate blue haze of the essential oils secreted by thousands of eucalyptus trees.

From Katoomba was the main attraction of the Blue Mountains The Three Sisters "only a stone's throw away so we could even begin our early morning three-hour hike. From the observation platform from which we had a spectacular view of the 3 sisters, it went over the "Giant Stairway" 300m down the valley. Fortunately, relatively warned at the beginning of the difficulty of these steep stairs going down, so that the road was largely free. A beautiful hike through the tropical forest has been almost us then ultimately led to the steepest railway in the world, which we transported over 52 ° slope back to top added.

The strenuous hike was then carried out a 4-hour drive followed, which has led us into the remote northeastern Cessnock. On a campsite surrounded by vineyards with pool we then spent the next night. We are now through the Hunter Valley on the way to the coast at Port Macquarie where is our next destination.
General can be used to trip so far really only say this: From the options we have, we always try to get the most out of what we now actually have succeeded quite well. Even if the beginning was a bit hectic and scheduled, then return the rest-with which we come one step closer to our goal of Cairns. The supply in the course we try to make überteurten Australia as cheap as possible, purchases are made at Coles, an Australian supermarket chain or ALDI, which is however not to be found as frequently. Thumbs up;)
Hopefully it will continue to be so interesting and beautiful, because then you will probably not have long to wait for my next entry! I hope you continue to have reflective holidays - let you go well:)

Hoho, the Christ child is coming!

It is hot, dusty, stressful, noisy and, above all anything but Christmas! , Silent Night, Holy Night booms' from the speakers, but there does not change the heart. It is a day like any other, only works that you do not something trendy and attracts. You sweat more than usual There are chickens, goats and sheep slaughtered or eaten but only with Pâte Schleimsoße. People save for months, no longer go to the doctor unless it is very urgent to celebrate a little bit to. Those who can afford to clothe his family again. Or even driving to relatives in distant villages. Chance of garlands hanging in the stores, everybody has a plastic fir. Christmas is still not a commercial business (perhaps because it also can not afford), you do not run from shop to shop around even more beautiful and more expensive gifts than last year to buy.

Even though I know Christmas under the sun, it is yet again a very different experience. For me there is never a mood and I'm actually quite happy. I can imagine that the homesickness and longing for cold, mulled wine and other snow would be too large.

Last night was the announced staff Christmas party. Although the organization was once again very chaotic, we had a great evening. In the garden were tables and a music system (which is a half hour after the start of the ceremony was finally put into service) built, we have obtained the drinks, the guests have brought something to eat. Julia and I were / had every cost until we shot some and even slightly amused by the beer, were caught by a downpour. The planned raffle we have so held in stationary applications in the hallway. We had a total of 170 gains (from pen and pad, on caps and stuffed animals to pots and a school bag). Everyone was excited. The eyes have shone. Their joy was truly from the heart. Even if the caps and sunglasses look like some horrible, they are worn with great pride. I think the evening was a resounding success and has made a lot of fun.

Today was our last working day. We have the good fortune over the holidays and New Year's Day a holiday. Christmas Eve is celebrated with a few volunteers, 25.12. I spend with the family and 26 Julia and I enjoy jet the plateau, a few days rest and chill and recharge. The last weeks we have really a lot worked, I was there for two inventories in different hospitals. These were usually 10-12 hours work, which around zipper with the heat but very. And me at the speed of work and sometimes almost to despair. In January, I'll stay in the lab, so that one of the employees can finally take a vacation. This will certainly be exciting if I am suddenly no longer additional power, but have my own area.

If I'm not exactly full of stress and try to fulfill my obligations, I think back to visiting my parents. We spent five wonderful days together. It's nice that they now know how and with whom I live here. We had a varied program with and without my family. A dinner with my boss at the Centre and two relaxing days in Lomé. Mom and dad just for me! That feels really good. THANK YOU!

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, good mood, warmth, satisfaction, and that your wishes for 2011 performance ! Go

It's time to say goodbye

After I am the last Thursday finally arrived in Broome, and only once I used my time to me a little to recover from the bush, there's still much to do. After I've hiterlassen almost half of my clothes, because they were either become too dirty or too big, I had to get one new outfit. Two days are for shopping marathon First they have enough time. Of course I'm not the full two days spent in clothing stores, because there was finally some buy presents and do a little business, just everything has to be increased for 4 months in the bush.

Even if bad at 38C ° is in the Christmas mood, there is still the pre-Christmas stress, which everyone pushes in the stores for last minute gifts shopping or stock up on food for Christmas dinner, which this relatively wide fails. Quite often eaten here is the perceived turkey, any dish on the barbecue is very popular due to its proximity to the sea and the odd fish dish lands on your plate.
comes after work, the rest probably thinking ... -.- With the expectation of a few days to have free we have come to Broome, but even here we had to do work, even if it stayed here a total of only 6 hours of work, It still has me excited. It gave me the feeling that I will only accept as a volunteer here when I work. I was less disappointed with the expectation to not have to work longer recognizable from the no sensitivity that we have now worked enough
; ; and now need to finally play.

After Sunday now, the last work was done, are Max, Chris and I drove to the beach on Monday and have it be on Cable Beach to go a little good. Marica evening I was then driven a little by the place at which to take some photos of buildings, of which I have in the past, but read a lot. The last evening we have then spent a final meeting to discuss lessons learned and suggestions for improvement to the lives of the next volunteer to make a little easier. It was, after all, not only for the first time for Banana-well, that they have taken volunteers, but for Michelle, the ICYE the first year in Australia but the leads and thus one or other difficulties have turned up.


Although the time for me was not always easy here, I can say at the end that I have gained a huge experience in which the fun is not quite set.
With a good conscience, people really helped to have, I can now go into the season and the doors close, "Australian bush", to me sometime back there pushing to see what happened to the place that changed my life has!
Goodbye Banana-well - I've made a great experience;)

By plane from Broome to Perth, I was finally back in the middle of the world. Clock at 22.30, we are dead tired arrived at the airport, from which we picked up Michelle's husband. After 4 months I was finally able to once again sleep in a comfortable bed - what a luxury. As I have already mentioned in the past, I know now so appreciate some things more, the cushioned chair began at the dinner table, more than a cold shower, to the air conditioning, etc. So I then spent last night here in Michelle's house and are now waiting until it settles me in about 3 hours at the airport, so I can finally get on the plane to Sydney to Then there in the morning to get my family.

So that was the last update before I will now soon to start my journey was not, however, to say that there is to hear from me for 4 weeks now no more. I'll try nevertheless provide regularly with hopefully beautiful impressions can be - even if you sit at home in snowy Germany as soon as you unpack the trunks, turning up the heat and you look at my pictures you will find you soon dreamily in Australia again:)
