- first night in a bus from Tena (kayak city) to Quito
- second night we slept at the airport in Santaigo, as we arrived at 3am and had another flight at 1pm
- third one was in a plane from Santiago to Sydney, however we didn't sleep at all on 14 hrs flight! The time change got funny and we were so hungry for cinema movies that watched 5 to 6 movies ;) proudly we can say we updated our blockbooster negligence over last few months!
We are knackered but we manage to get to the backpacker hostel, we book ed the cheapest we could find near centre... But that meant we had to sleep in dormitory. Honestly, after so many uncomphy nights any bed would do!
We even have a miserable attempt to have a go on Sydney Saturday night life, but we finishe in a sushi restaurant followed by McFlurry ice-cream.
I need to mention that we got very priviliged to meet a couple from Oz and Kiwi land ;) Damo and Emma that we met on a trek in Torres del Paine in Chile invited us over to stay at their place near Bondi beach. We felt very fortunate ;)
Emma and Damo are true travellers, visited so many places of the world and the dozens of photo canvas on the walls intheir house show the proof. We have a perfect guided tours and they prepare an itinerary for us the night before.
One of the highlights of the day is the wake up swim in the ocean at Bondi beach, its so beautiful light in the early morning, together with some surf makes a perfect start of the day.
7 am swim in the ocean... priceless
We have a long day wondering one beautiful spots of Sydney:
- Wolloomoolloo Bay ( with spelndid yachts worth millions parked in front of fabulous and too expensive for our pockets restaurants,
- Botanic Garden, with a note "hug the trees, talk to birds, walk on the grass"
- Sydney Harbour Bridge,
- Menly Beach - we take a ferry ride along the Opera House to one of the favourite Sydney beaches on the north shore

Menly beach
Another day we decide to do a full workout just like local super fit local people...
Whereever we look around there is either fit muscular guy running or a hot blonde chick with fake bobos jumping and full make up... how do they not sweat? .... Weronika is asking?
We did a 7km run along the coast from Bondi beach through Bronte and Clovelly to Coogee and we stopped at 3 places to jump into the natural saltwater pools for a quick swim... then run back 7km to Bondi.
natural poolWe even stop at few spots to do some push-ups or abs as there are little workout stations.
We got the bikes from Emma and Damo (thanks so much mates!)
The run is amazing on the coastal walk with stunning paths and clifftops.
And then well deserved sushi on the beach... yummy!
