Well, hi there,
sorry for the delay, but finally my first story here in Australia. We had a good flight, got to our hotel in Sydney thursday evening around 11.30 p.m. Had an ok nite of sleep. Friday we went out and did a whole lot of walking. Not sure how many k's. but a lot! Saw the best of the city, we think, Opere house, harbour bridge, Darling harbour and more. The weather is ofcourse great, lots of sun, so we need lots of sunscreen. Friday nite the 3 of us were wide awake for some hours. At 5 in the morning, Miss Irma, the theemuts, made us a cup of tea. After that we slept for a bit more.
Saturday was just a perfect day. We went on a beautiful sailing boat and cruised the whole harbour of Sydney. This all thanks to Irene. Last year summer she met this couple in Italy, he is dutch, she is australian and they told her, if you ever go to Australia, you have to visit us. Then, Irene had no clue she would ever go down under with me and Irma. So, they picked us up at the hotel at 10 a.m. and we crossed the harbour bridge to go the the yachtclub where they have their boat. WOW, soooo nice! We just had a private cruise and tourguides! We went sailing a bit as well, had a nice lunch at a harbour where this friday the Sydney-Hobart race is starting. A lot of those sailing boats where already there. Amazing! Ther whole day was amazing, only the fact that at ther end a got a bit of a problem with the sealegs I don't have. After a glas of champagne and some salty chips, I felt better. The couple, Adrian and Marie, were very nice. It was just a dream really, ;-) We still can't believe we went on this boat! Today we had a sort of easy going day. The first 2 days were very busy and tirering, so today we took a bus to Bondi beach, THE beach of Sydney! We did a walk amongst the coast and saw different little beaches. We had lunch at Bronte beach and spent the afternoon on the beach, went swimming, also amazing! Blue water, white sand and lots of sun. Tomorrow we will pick up our rental car and go to the Blue mountains and stay there for 1 nite. We are all a bit afraid of driving here, since you have to drive on the left, but Irma will start. So far we are having a good time, seems like we've been on vacation for weeks already, except the fact that I have had 3 pretty major bloody noses. Out of nowhere. Never had that before. Irma and Irene will watch me ofcourse, also if I don't leave things behind! ;-)
Anyway, not sure when I will be able to write my next story, there aren't that many internetcafe's and the wifi is not great. I will try to post some pictures, hopefully that will work.
ok, ciao for now and till next time!

Nicole:
Hé dames,
wat hebben jullie al veel meegemaakt....super leuk om te lezen!!
En ben jaloers op jullie mooie weer daar, hier koud, winderig en nat!! ;o))
Even over je bloedneuzen, misschien heb je last van hooikoorts (?), daardoor kan je neusslijmvlies gaan ontsteken en krijg je heftige neusbloedingen. (heeft Jesse nl ook elk jaar).
Nou rij voorzichtig en heel veel plezier!!
