Politics and beach life

Our last weeks in Australia were pretty chill. We discovered amazing places, ranging from big cities to small towns.
As previously mentioned, Melbourne really blew us away. But also Sydney was simply amazing. I went to see an opera in that architectural highlight, walked happily over its huge bow bridge and let myself go during a famous 'Chinese Laundry' party. An unforgettable BBQ on the rooftop of our hostel, view over the skyline during the many projections of the light festival ánd a kangooroo on my plate made the stay even better. Although off the beaten track for many, we headed to Canberra where we learned about the history of the Aussies in its museums and got into their political system during a tour in the national parliament.

Serious business in Canberra

Very serious business at the Blue Mountains 

The rush of the cities was left behind with a rental car and we gave ourselves over to the bus driver and mother nature. We've seen lots of mountains, bush and jungles during our travels, but the Blue Mountains still surprised us: big valley, long hikes, great views.

Byron Bay, Noosa, Airlies Beach, Rainbow Beach,... The surf, the chill!

A short time later the sun dragged us over to an easy-going beach life. Long beach walks, watching the surf, orange sunsets and sand boarding became part of our daily life.

It could be worse.
