Day 3 - the 31th of December

What do you generally do the 31th of December ? Let's list some valid answers : - You go to the Carrouf' to buy the last goods for your New Year Eve dinner - You are the only person in the office because you are the only on-call person ? - You are upset because you can fit in your dress ( you ate too much at the Christmas dinner ) - You are swimming in Warriewood beach ? We choose the last option ..... But the main activity after we lunched a wonderfull warm salad on Dee Why beach was to dress up ourselves for the New Year Party with the neighbor as you can see with Olivier. The parties were nice and full of Champagne. The fireworks of Sydney harbor was just amazing not like the one of Mainly . And to be in 2007 10 hours before Europe is quite weird feeling. Happy New Year 2007 to all of you that read this blog. Sincerely, Pascale

day 2 - Where is Nemo ?

I am sure you asked yourself where is Nemo ? Dorry and bubble where were not so far away. We find it today at the Sydney Aquarium ! But the sharks is not far away from Nemo !!! The Seal had fun too ! And we met Seahorses !!! And what about us ? Like every tourist abroad : we need to check the road : Sydney looked to me as Seattle and Vancouver. Such a sweet balance between the skylines of Sydney and the nature with the huge harbour and the national parks around. It requires additional investigation but for the moment Australia looks an very interesting place to live. We are sleeping to Laurence and Tran place. They are very very nice and warm chap. They have two crazy dogs that loved to jump on our bed early in the morning, just when the cigales start to "sing". I hope we will sleep well tonight to be ready for the New Year Eve party. We are planning to see the fire works qt Sydney, we will see... Ciao !

29 dec 2006

Pascale et Olivier sont arrivés ce matin, en les attendant Cille et moi nous sommes préparées pour la promenade. Nous sommes allées au playground faire de la balançoire et jouer à cache-cache, Agnès nous a rejoint, Cille est repartie en voiture avec sa Maman, je suis revenue en passant par le swanp pathway, les cigales chantent à tue-tête et les oiseaux font leurs vocalises ; dans l'après-midi, nous sommes allés à West-Head

Australia ? Because you worth it

Bon okay, this van looks really like the magical mystery tour ( quite proud to see I am an engine, such a symbol ) bu I think we should call it the Familial Mystery Tour !!!!!! I don't know if you are aware but the only live video ever made by ABBA was is in Australia ( Another symbol ) So today we are not talking of The Beatles or ABBA, we are talking about the story of 2 froggies that join the familial mystery tour ! So Day 1, we survived 28 hours of travel, landing at Sydney this morning. Walk in the bush, swim into the ocean, pique nique near the lake. The main goal is to keep the eyes open until tonight. I blog, Olivier is playing the "teddy monster" with Cille while I "ketchup". Sylviane is making the tea and the storm is very noisy outside. Please wish us a good night. Pascale

NARRABEEN (NSW) 18TH-19TH DECEMBER 2006

Agnes drove me to her home, where Bjorn was waiting for us, because they have to go for an important meeting. They left me, I took a good shower, settled my things and relaxed. I feeled exhausted, it is probably the combination of cold, bronchite and jetlag, I decided to sleep. At about 1:00 pm, A&B awaked me to have a meal, and after I slept again. At about 5:00 pm Agnes and I went to take Cille at school, what a beautiful little girl, she speaks quite well too.

AT LAST WE ARRIVED AT WONG TAI SIN TEMPLE, MANY CHINESE PEOPLE WERE THERE , PRAYING AND OFFERING WORSHIPING PRESENTS, WE WERE SURROUNDED BY HUGE BUILDINGS AND YET YOU FIND QUIETNESS AND PEACE IN THIS PLACE. ONE HOUR LATER WE WANTED TO HAVE LUNCH, WE TOOK BACK THE MTR AND HAD A LUNCH IN A PLACE JUST OUTSIDE PRINCE EDWARD STATION, AFTER A WALK IN THE STREETS, WE WERE TIRED AND WANTED TO REST, WE WENT TO A MASSAGE PLACE AND SPENT THERE TWO HOURS VERY RELAXING AFTER WE GET BACK TO THE AIRPORT.
