Hey guys,
I just realised that
this is my 60th post. This is a lot isn't it? :)Hahah,
and heaps more to go!
This week was an
amazing week, I did so much! Really, really much! I am not going to
tell you anything right now, so let's start reading.
 |
| Just one photo for the start ;) |
Tu, January 20th
Today is a day I
have waited really long for! We are going to Sydney!!! *-* Yes, you
have read it right, we are going to SYNDEY!! And we, that is Greg,
Robyn, Em and me. We are going to stay overnight and spend tomorrow
as well in Sydney, which is amazing!
We left Lisarow at
around 10am in the morning, and I was ready to go since 7.30 or so,
haha :) So I had to wait a little while but I did some work in the
house.
But when we left it
was still raining and it looked really bad the weather and we were
really sad.. But when we arrived in Sydney, the sky looked a lot
better and it stopped raining and we had a beautiful day! We drove
over the harbour bridge which was amazing! *-*
 |
| Harbor Bride! |
Before we drove to
the hotel we made a little Sydney -City Tour and drove past the
channel 7 building and the Lindt-Cafe where the Sydney Siege
happened. That was a bit creepy to see it..
 |
| Lindt Cafe, it is all shut down and there is this yellow wall.. |
After seeing this
and the busy Sydney city we drove to a part of Sydney which is called
“the Rocks”, where we were going to stay. This part of Sydney is
amazing! Do you know why?
It is the part of
Sydney where to Opera House and Harbour Bridge are. :)))
Our Hotel was
really, really good!! We had one room with 2 double beds, but that
was perfect, because we did not want to spend any time in the hotel
besides sleeping. And from our room we had an amazing view over the
harbour bride!
Our Hotel also had a
pool on the 8th floor from where you could see both –
Harbour Bridge and Opera House.! *-* SOO cool!
 |
| Wow!! |
After checking in
and bringing our stuff into the room we went for a walk. We walked
over the Harbour Bridge! Yes! It was a dream of mine for a long time
and we did it!!
 |
| Me on the harbor Bride - A dream comes true!! |
 |
| the view was amazing!! |
 |
| Selfie on the bridge!! |
 |
| Antoher photo!! :) |
We walked back
again, after taking lots and lots of photos and walked to the Opera
House! Another dream of mine! We got some lunch – sandwiches – on
the way, which we ate next to the Opera House. :)
 |
| Selfiee! |
 |
| Opera House! |
When we finished
eating, we hear a women calling out for the 2pm Opera House tour and
we decided very quick and spontaneous that we want to it! My mum and
dad and me, we gave the Crellins (My hostfamily) a voucher for a tour
for christmas – perfect!
 |
| So close, incredible! |
The tour was really,
really good and I think, I am sure, it was even better than going to
the Opera House for a convert or so, which would have been way more
expensive. And we could see different rooms and our tour guide was
amazing! She told us so many interesting stories and the one hour
went so quick! Everybody loved the tour, so it was a great present!!
:)

After the tour we
had to rush back to the hotel, we had 5min to fresh up and then
right to our next sightseeing point :) Robyn had vouchers for a
Harbour Ship cruise for 1.5 hours on an old sailing boot, which was
great!!! It was soo good! The view was just so great!! :)
 |
| Selife with the sail in the background! ;) |
 |
| Amazing view with the sun!! |
 |
| Family photo with the captain :) |
Em and I could even
climb the mast, which was incredible! Thank you so much Greg and
Robyn! It was very much fun to see it all from up there :)
 |
| Climbing the mast!1 |
We even saw the
place or building where dance academy was filmed :))) So cool!
After the cruise we
went back to the hotel and got changed and then went to Circular
Quay, where all the ferries arrive, because the Bates where coming
over from Manly where they were for 4 days to have dinner together :)
 |
| we could see the opera House from another angle :) |
We went to the
“Löwenbräu Haus” which was very, very cool! All the waiters
were German hahaah :) I had a Knödel with Souce and everybody loved
it!! It was very, very much fun and the Bates are great!!!
 |
| <3 feeling at home! |
 |
| Greg liked the beer - franziskaner! ;) |
 |
| Group-photo!! |
After we finished
dinner at like 9.30pm - we stayed there for ages!!! - we walked with
the Bates to Circular Quay because they had to take the ferry back
and we got some Ice cream. :))
 |
| Gelato - what a great place to eat some Gelato :) |
 |
| harbor!!!!! |
The view of Sydney
and the Harbour Bridge and Opera House was amazing! Totally different
again!
On the way back we
stopped at a souvenir shop where I bough a little pencil case and cap
for me :) Which I have been looking for for ages :)
Back at the hotel we
had a quick look over Sydney from the pool again and took some photos
and then we went to bed. We were soooo tired after this amazing, very
busy day!!!
It was about 11pm
when we went to sleep. :)

| all the Skycrapers at night *-* |
I loved this day
today it was amazing and we did so many things I had dreamt of and I
cant believe we did it – Harbour Brides and Opera House!!! :) Thank
you so much!
We, January 21st
OMG!! The breakfast
was soooo good! We had buffet and it was incredible how many
different things they had! We could choose from cereal to bacon and
egg and chocolate croissant to pancake and mufins and everything!! We
could even do our own fresh juices :)) I had cereal with lots of
fruit (yum!!), 2 fresh made juices (they were delicious), a little
bit of bacon and scrambeld eggs.. *-* There was so much more I wanted
to eat but I couldn't, too much! We were all so full and we did not
anything else the whole day, haha. I had a little salad when we came
home in the evening and Greg and Em some toast I think.
After we finished
breakfast we packed all our stuff and checked out. The hotel was
really, really good and I would come back for sure – If I had the
money... ;)
We then drove around
a little bit in the rocks and Greg showed us where his mother lived
and we also saw the buildings of dance academy again. :)
 |
| The rocks - litturally ;) |
But destiny today
was darling harbour, which is a very famous part of Sydney as well.
We bought this special ticket where you can go to 5 attractions for
the price of 1.5 attractions – weird I know, but good! - and went
to Madame Tussaud's and the famous Sea Life.
They were both really really good!!
 |
| Surfing!! |

Taylor Swift :)
|
 |
| Me and Obama :) Oo |
 |
| Lots and lots of photos! |
I went to the Madame
Tussaud's in London in year 8 when I went on Exchange for 1 week and
love it! It was so cool to see some of the same wax-figures again and I had to take photos with them like Einstein, Queen or Marilyn Monroe. But
also lots of new ones!
 |
| Me and Einstein :) |
 |
| Me and Marilyn Monroe |
Sealife was really
fun and we saw lots of sharks and other animals :)) But we were
getting really tired at the end and it was getting a bit late … But
that's allright, we enjoyed it heaps!!!
 |
| Family <3 |
 |
| Shark Oo |
 |
| Selife in the shark tunnel!!! |
 |
| nice colors :) |
 |
| Selfie "underwater" :P |
We left Sydney at
around 5pm or, which means we were in the middle of the big traffic
but Greg is a great driver and we managed it to come home at around
7pm. :)
We all were really
exhausted, but so happy, especially me!! I had two incredibly good,
amazing, fantastic, best days and I am soo thankful to my
aussie-family for showing me everything!! I would have never dreamt,
that I can see and viit so many different places – so cool!

| Happy, Happy Birthday!! |
Today in the morning
we a little sleep in after the two action days in Syndey :)
We watched the end
of the movie 27 dresses we started yesterday, which is a really good
movei – rom com, ahah :)
I texted Makayla in
the morning if she wants to come for a swim and she said yes, cool!
She came at around 12am and stayed until 2.45, when she was picked by
her mum to go to work. It was really nice to catch up again and we
had so much fun, talking, talking, talking! I am soo happy, that we
became such good friends and we can talk for hours about nothing and
everything, hahah:)
 |
| Thank you zoo much! |
She also gave me a Christmas present, which was very, very cute! I got a beckham parfume
and body lotion set, really, really, good! Thank you so much!
 |
| Love it! |
After she lest I
went back to the pool and a little bit later Em came to join me and
we had heaps of fun :)
Fr, January 23rd
I got up at 7am
today in the morning. Why so early?
Because I went to
the beach!! Yeah, you got it right! My second time to the beach :)) I
was so excited, haha :) Yesterday at 11pm or so, Makayla texted me to
ask if I want to come and I said yes, of course!
I left our house at
8.10 and met Makayla on the way and we ducked in Maccas to get a
Chocolate Muffin for her :) We then took the bus at 9am and after
getting the second bus at Gosford to Terrigal we arrived at the beach
at around 10.30. I know it takes a while with the bus, but that is
allright!:) It takes about 25 min in the car and 1.5 hours with the
bus, hahah :)
The waves were so
big today, haha :) We were a little bit scared, but we went in
though! After lying in the sun and taning (most important, haha) we
went in and had so much fun! There was this big wave which got us
really hard and we swallowed a little bit of sand a water.. But yeah,
haha :)
 |
| The waves were soooo big!! |
But it was really
much fun to jump over the waves or dive under them.
Then was tanning
time again and selife time :) I actually got a bit tanned which was
great! And Mami, I used suncreen of course! I put it on in the
morning on my whle body, haha :) 50+ suncreen, so I did not get
burned but nice and brown :)
 |
| Selfie with my bestie!! |
We got some Fish and
Chips for lunch which we ate at the beach again :) It was delicous!
 |
| the beach looked so beautiful! |
We took the bus home
at around 12.30 and Mikki's (Makayla – her new nicknem ;) ) dad
picked us up from Gosford bus station.
When I came home I
went pretty much straight to the pool, hahah :) A little bit later Em
came as well and we had a nice time in the pool.
We had swimming
lessons at 4.30 again and so we had to get changed and stuff... It
was really fun, I really enjoy swimming and I am getting better every
lesson. And my teacher is so nice, I don't want to change classes.. I
had so much water today – beach, pool and pool! Omg, haha :)
At around 6.30 some
friends came over for a bbq and swim, but I had enough water today so
I watched them playing. :)
We had a nice bbq
and a nice time! They stayed until a little bit after midnight – we
did not notice how late it was!
Sa, January, 24th
After the late night
yesterday, we all had a long sleep in. I woke up at 6.30 but I went
back to sleep undtil 7.15 and tehn again until 9 or so. I love it to
see the sun in the morning and it shines in my room, which is great!
But on the other side, it also wakes me up, but that is all right, I
like it, haha :)
I did some computer
stuff in the morning, transferring photos from my phone to my laptop
and save them on the hard drive and stuff, haha :) Not very
interesting, but important! I also did a backup on my laptop.
At around 1.30 we
left to go to Erina fair, because we needed to buy a presenet for
Scott, whose birthday party we are going today for dinner. Well, here
we celebrate the adults-birthdays more like this: We come together in
a restaurant, club or like today hotel and we have a nice time :) But
everybody pays his own meal, so it not so expensive for the
birthday-person. :)
At Erina Fair we
also met Debbie and Ken for a little while, because it is their 39th
wedding anniversary today, and we had a little card for them. :)
I also bought a
little Aussie-Devil thing for my hair, for Australia on Monday :))
Scotts birthday
dinner was really good and I had a delicious Caesar Salad :) Ella,
Kate and Lexi are soo cute! I spend lots of time doing some colouring
in with them :)
We came home at
around 11 pm and pretty much straight to bed. :)
Su, January 25th
Today we had another
sleep in, haha, we have to use the time before school goes back on
Wednesday... ://
I did some work for
my “Firmung” i'll have when I go back to Germany and then I was
writing this post, hahah :)
At around 12.30 we
had a family meeting, where we talk about the next and past week and
so.. Haha, it went pretty long about 1.5 hours, but I liked it and I
think it was really good. We are going to have it every Sunday now.
:)
After this Em and I
decided to make a movie and we started filming :) we did a trailer
for a movie a couple of months ago and now we are going to do the
movie, haha :)
At 5.30 Holly came
to pick me up, because we - all my friends – decided to go out for
dinner to the beach to Terrigal :) It was great!! We were 8 girls –
Holly, Bec, Sarah, Makayla, Sophie (she came back from Canada on
Friday), Emily, Felicity and me.
 |
| The beach looked very nice! I wanted to go in - but i didn't have my swimmer.. |
We got some Fish and Chips for
dinner and then some Ice cream. I had salted Caramel, which is one of
my favourites, maybe even my favourite, haha :) The beach and sea
looked so nice, and even though it was pretty late there were many
people still swimming at 7 or 8pm.
Ut was very busy,
because tomorrow is public holiday – Australia Day – and many
people, especially the young ones, celebrate the whole night, hahah
:)
 |
| WOW!! The sun!! <3 |
 |
| We also took a photo on my polaroid camera - Makayla and me :) |
Sophie's mum brought
me home at around 8.30pm and then it was “Skype Time”! Yeah!! I
haven't really skyped with my mum and dad since 7 or 8 weeks and it
was great to see them again. We had talked a little bit on the phone
but it is just not the same to see them :) <3
We talked for a long
time, until 11pm or so, haha :) But we had a lot to talk about,
especially about my subjects for next year in Germany (Year 11 or
Oberstufe) and also the “P-/W- Seminare” But I am pretty happy
now, because I know almost everything now, what I want to choose. :)
And my mum had also
a great idea, that I should take and exam to get a certificate of my
english niveau so I am going to see which on eis the best (Cambridge,
TOEFL,..)
It was great to see
them again and they look soo happy! And my little brother Philipp is
so cute! I cant wait to see him again! :)
I
love you so much my best family and I can't wait to see you!!! <3
 |
| Sorry for the pic, it is the only on ei took, haha :) :P |
So, this is the post
about last week,
I hope you enjoyed
it and it was a little bit shorter than the last one, haha :)
Love,
Sophi
