APEC-WEEK

Hola amigos :-)

Blue Mountains? - cancelled

Hunter Valley? - not yet cancelled but maybe...

Why? - because of the awful weather!!! :-(

This week - due to a visit of George W. Bush - called APEC-week (not OPEC-week hahaha), is free for almost all of us because the whole city (including Uni) is closed!! Sounds good i know - but what can you do when it´s raining all day long?? - NOTHING!?

Well, Andi and me went for example to the PowerHouseMuseum and to the SydneyAquarium, which was a lot of fun!

I mean, compared to a trip to the wonderful Blue Mountains it's nothing, but honestly, we have to catch up with our Sydney-tourist-sightseeing-programm because we got lazy during the last weeks (uni keeps us busy...)!

What is still missing is:

- Sydney AMP Tower

- Chinese Garden

- Taronga Zoo

- crossing the bridge (when it's open again hahaha)

Even the OPERA is closed - can you imagine this???

But: we found a nice one (http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/sections/whats_on/boxoffice/event_details.asp?EventID=2124) which we definitely have to watch in October!!

After the Aquarium (it was pretty late then) Andi and me weren't very hungry but even though we had to try the incredibly good pancakes @ the Rocks (have a look at the menu here: http://pancakesontherocks.com.au/menu)!

All in all - it was a very very relaxing and nice day!!

Now we have to catch up and study again....

Please wish us luck so that the weather gets better and we can do the HunterValleyTrip in the following days...!

Hope you're all feeling good and are enjoying the rest of your holidays!

For my Aussie-readers: Hope you don't have too much to study...!

All the best to each and every one of you!

Cheers,

Stephanie
