Sydney and the Mountains... the Blue ones

Hello Everybody from Sydney!!!!

Well you can guess it from the pictures I guess... The Opera House is probably one of the most representative buildings in the world... i.e. after so many constant changes from one place to another, from one country to another, from one city to another... I got to a point that I didn't realize where the hell I was. But, hey... you see the spinnaker of the Opera House here... and there is no doubt that you are in Sydney!

If you then look a little bit further north you see the Harbour bridge... and then you feel like part of the postcard... so sweet!!! As you can imagine that was the first thing I visit when I got here... even before I met Louise and Helen for dinner in Chinatown that night. So cool to catch up after four months!

Somebody told me about the Blue Mountains (I didn't see anything blue over there... so don't ask me why they are called like that... ain't got a clue!) 2 hours west of Sydney (there is only water on the East side!!!), and I had a bit of mountain and trecking "cold turkey". So the morning after... got my Rucksack, and went there... and found an incredibly beautiful Canyon, with rainforest, parrots, cockatoos and lots of other things... ah... and the famous and sacred (at least on this part of the world) three sisters! The incredible thing is that I met Matt again... this world is sometimes huge... and some other so small...

I went back to Sydney on time for the Surrey Hills (hippie) festival... and decided to take Andy's children with me, so they could have some fresh air and some live music... and then I went to see "Circus Oz". Damn... I miss my trapeze!!!!! It was really good... and felt kind of different to be in a theatre after so long... I might go to the Opera House and see some theatre this week.

Today all the backpackers I was with left town in different directions, so I went to walk the weekend markets, get on a ferry to see the Bay (the pic shows how I always imagined the Sydney Bay... full of sailing boats with the SkyLand in the back), and see the (in)famous Bondi Beach with all the surfers...

Now some news... for those that managed to read until of this huge "post"... Just to let you know that SuperBea has decided to quit her boring job, and make one of her dreams come true: looking after Turtles in Venezuela (well... I never had good friends that I could define as "normal"... and that includes most of you)... so I am planning to go and welcome her in Caracas on 15th June, i.e. I might change my itinerary for this one:

- Santiago - Lima overland from 27th May till 14th June
- 3 weeks in Venezuela (or so)
- Fly back to Lima and go to Ecuador until the end of August
- Travel Peru and Bolivia for 3 weeks
- Fly to Santiago... and then off to Sau Paulo (Samba pa mi... y pa ti!)
- Go from South Brazil to Argentina... mientras el cuerpo aguante... or while money last (maybe time to find a job and settle down... for a few weeks!)

And the best thing of all this is that it might happen... but it will certainly change... as everything I planned half a year ago!

Well... I hope I haven't bored you toooooooo much! Make sure you keep on smiling everyday... Big Time, ok?!?

Un besazo gordo mis ninh@s !!!! Cuidaros mucho... Tengo muchas ganas de saber que estan todos ustedes en perfecto estado... asi que ya me estan mandando noticias frescas!!!

Ciao ciao!!
