As you wake up misgives us, for that oh-so-summery Sydney was once again overcast. So we took our time to enjoy our hotel breakfast extensively.
then grabbed We us our rain jackets and made our way to the Rocks, "which is Sydney's historic center. This time we drove back bus, which we now manage all this and more. We even got off at the right station and marched through the said district.
We could not entirely convincing, and soon were on their way to port. Since we wanted to be smart and used a not quite official ramp that led to a steep staircase, so that we had used our imagination. Without further ado, pushed and pulled Miriam Beatrice on a steeply sloping lawn and we arrived safe and sound, contrary to expectations (although quite dirty) below on the trail to Port.
We shot a few photos of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House (we have only about 100), when suddenly it began to rain heavily.
we were up in the rain jackets and had dug the hoods of the collar, we were already wet through and through. We ran to the bus station and found after several failed attempts, back then the right bus to the city.
We had thought that it might be better to run with this lousy weather through the shops. The night before, was already at the Myer department store (the largest department store in Australia) that on 26 had opened December from 5.00 bis 17.00 Clock clock.
We do not know whether we have already mentioned, but our Swissotel is located just above the seven floors of this store. As we came
back into the city, we could not believe our eyes: huge crowds pushed their way through the streets, cars clogged the city and in front of shops were long queues of waiting people. If Myer had security and police discourage people from storming the department store.
Smaller shops such as Gucci could only enter a limited number of buyers and Thus there is always long queues at the department store doors. We were amazed by this crazy spending spree and it was almost impossible to get by the hotel.
Then we left us still infected by this madness, because we thought there was something for nothing. Why else should hundreds of thousands of people move through Sydney? Gift purchase could not be, because Christmas was over, and until New Year's Eve there were a few more days. We were pushing them in any case very suspicious.
In a small shop (in which we came in without queuing) bought a cheap Mirjam fringe dress, we've built for future Tanzuftritte perhaps can use. Then it took us to "David Johnson, the great competition of the department store Myer, where we trawled through the three floors of ladies clothing to buy for a New Year's Eve Beate Blüschen. Miriam had looked again at the end of a shirt in the bag and beats in the tube. But we still have a few days until New Year's Eve and we are sure to find something else.
the way back to the hotel we took this time underground, and indeed found the "Food-Mart," which we had David, our concierge, already recommended. We all indulged a quiche and made our way back to the hotel - this time even getting wet.
Once there, we
devouring our delicious gifts. On the Internet we started smart, what happened to us was there today in Sydney. We read that the 26th December is here called "Boxing Day" and the highest sales day of the year. The stores already open at night and then are already queuing outside the door.
not just the cities are completely overwhelmed, but it will break even the websites of online stores together because of the great rush. The reason for this spectacle, that the department stores cut their prices radically and make everyone the best bargains will be.
Once we knew now what was going on, we made fresh for the visit to the lounge. There was quite busy and an Australian couple, who now lives in Macau and currently visiting relatives in the home is all the time talking with us. They gave us valuable tips on what to in and around Sydney can still do so all you which restaurants are cheap and good and also it will make us special sleeping pills come with which one supposedly completely relaxed the many flight hours can survive, we currently us (we are curious ;-)).
Time passed by quickly and when we return at 20.00 clock in the room were, we still had plenty of time to skype with Germany.
