more pictures...from this weekend

again i can't really write much when posting this, but i'm still having a great time down here! as you could see on the pictures of my last post i arrived safely in sydney on tuesday night, was warmly welcomed by kate & her family and have been exploring the city during the next few days.
on thursday i met up with my ex-colleague eva who's here visiting her friend magda right now. we strolled around china town for most of the afternoon, having a really good time! as the night before i met up with kate after she was done at work, this night we had ice cream at darling harbour, *mjammy*

then the pictures below, they're from friday - today! friday i met up with my ozzie-friends emma & shannyn which was really really great. friday night kate & i left for the family's caravan about 3 hours north from sydney at hawk's nest, port stephens. we've been there until this morning, took my first swim in the pacific yesterday and we hoped to be able to go for another swim this morning but unfortunately the australian weathergod didn't agree... :(
