So, we've been in Doha for a few hours now, Matthes and Ursula are still sleeping a bit and I'm catching up on the latest news (What'sApp and Co.) (I had an Australian mobile...

It's Australia Day and somehow the country seems divided because of this holiday. Some are already celebrating (like our neighbors), others find it strange, and the rest...

Today, hairstyle and co didn't matter at all (we still looked great - at least until we sat on the beach or were in the water): we went to the beach and nowhere else (no...

We're taking it easy for the past few days and we all realize: we've seen soooo much in the past weeks that we've had enough of more impressions and rush. So: everyone sleeps in...

Today we had one of those rare days to sleep in and I woke up at 6am for the first time... 😝 At 8:30 am, we went shopping right away so that we wouldn't have to suffer in the...

Today we said goodbye to the rainforest and the reef, but not just like that... One third packed their suitcases last night, the remaining two thirds had a drink at the bar and...

Matthes and I are already tired of the alarm sound from iPad, iPhone and the like, so we got out of bed at 06:30 in a not so good mood... a small breakfast with café latte...

Yesterday was, as you all noticed, a blog-free day. Nothing happened, except that we drove from Cairns to Port Douglas on the Captain Cook Highway, which offered beautiful views...

Today was the last time we had to get up early to drive to the last unvisited viewpoint for the sunrise at Uluru. It was once again a perfect timing, but I have to say: the...

Waking up two owls at quarter to five: only Uluru and Kata Tjuta can do that! This morning we had the sunrise on the program and left the hotel just after half past five (a few...

We already clarified the early rising here - today was the same: at 05:00 I got out of bed, got ready for the hike (shower, apply SPF 30, reapply with SPF 50 on my face and...

Somehow this vacation is turning into an early morning number... the alarm clock rang shortly after 05:00 a.m., the taxi was supposedly ordered for 06:30 a.m. (supposedly...

On such a last day somewhere, one should also take different paths than usual... I thought and went to the hairdresser today. You might think that this is too precious time for...

Here in Surry Hills it's a bit like in PrenzlBerg: lots of nice places to eat and drink. Last night Matthes and I stopped by The Clock (they have a beautiful wraparound terrace...

Gestern Abend haben Matthes und ich dann noch die Gegend unsicher gemacht und sind im The Horse gelandet - zwischen französischen Pseudobackpackern und echten Australiern. Es...

I don't know if you knew already: the Blue Mountains are not actually blue! From a distance, it just looks like there's a blue haze over them because eucalyptus trees release...

Sitting here with round feet, I am writing a few lines about our first and very beautiful day in Sydney. Today, we dawdled a bit as usual and got into a dilemma with breakfast...

After another not-so-long night, we enjoyed our last breakfast at the cottage in the Grampians. We had good company: the kangaroos were having breakfast right in front of the...

Ha: this morning two-thirds of the early bird (and so) and are tired and fully motivated (well, 'so-so' motivated and 'so-so' came from the coffee...) set off for the planned...

Today it worked out: the apartment had to be cleared by 10:00 am and we left at five past. Before that, quickly go to the supermarket, buy bread and other things and watch the...

As always, we wanted to leave earlier today, but somehow something always comes up. Today it was a load of laundry, postcards, stamps (the latter cost a fortune, so be happy if...

After the shock last night, we first went to the supermarket and bought 'comfort food' (Spaghetti Bolognese) and beer and sparkling wine. Amazing how a little alcohol can make...

Oh, life could be so beautiful if everything goes well... it could be so beautiful if the first navigation system works during car rental pickup, or at least the second one......

Actually, getting up early this morning was supposed to 'make the most of the day'... actually... (we had breakfast after 12 and we were sitting on the tram around 2 😂) So: a...

Najaaaa, irgendwie war der Neujahrstag komisch: kein Kater, kein Kopfweh und nur das späte Aufstehen war so wie sonst auch... So 'n alkoholfreies Silvester ist doch arg...

We celebrated the new year with an amazing fireworks display (we were practically right underneath them) at 17 degrees (really cold... I thought it was summer here 😉). Slide...

Ursula lässt Silvester Silvester sein und schläft schon. Matthes (völlig übernächtigt) und ich (Hummeln im Hintern) haben uns noch in die City aufgemacht, um irgendwie doch noch...

So, now we made it: 13 hours flight from Doha to Melbourne are behind us. From staying awake (Matthes watched half of the media library) to (almost) sleeping through, we had...

Oh, yesterday was so exciting: Drive to the airport: top (no traffic (and 'free ride for free citizens'), refueling the rental car: flop (was almost on a first-name basis with...

Not much longer and off we go: Australia is calling. But before that, we'll quickly celebrate Christmas in Berlin and Kassel, finally eat the missing bacon so that the bikini...
