Australia, the second encounter

(for english scroll down, please)

Wohoo, mar csak kb 12 nap lemaradasban vagyok! Szoval jojjenek is a fun factek.



Eloszor is egy meglehetosen rovid 14 napos megallot tartunk ebben a hatalmas orszagban/kontinensen. Harom fobb celunk volt, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, no meg ami kozte van.



Nem lattunk merges kigyokat, csak par pokot, meg piocat, szoval ez az ut is biztonsagos volt eddig.

Elso allomasunk Brisbane volt. Ujra Milaneknal, ezuttal nem volt meglepi, es mivel dolgoztak igy talalkozni se tudtunk olyan sokat. Brisbane egy nagyon pozitiv kisugarzasu, nem tomott de megis hatalmas agglomeracio. Csak kis osszehasonlitas: akkora, mint Peking de csak 2.4 millioan elnek. Kb 15szor nagyobb mint Auckland, es 30-szor nagyobb, mint Budapest.




Ropke masfel nap alatt vegigneztunk par muzeumot, galeriat, usztunk a folyoparton levo mesterseges tengerparton es setaltunk a hangulatos csaladbarat setanyon. Felultunk az ingyenes hajora, ami a varos kulonbozo pontjain kot ki. Nagyon szep a varoskep, este meg egeszen lenyugozo. Milan es Virag is becsatlakozott az esti setara, es mivel meg ok se voltak a hajon, igy ok is atmentek turistaba egy picit.





Azt kell, hogy mondjam ha nem lenne sok capa az oceanban es nem lenne annyira meleg, akkor ide tudnek koltozni. Ami meg nagyon tetszett a hatalmas gyikok,spontan chilleznek a varosban; valoban 40-50 centis allatokrol van szo. De ugy altalaban rengeteg allat el Ausztraliaban, ami megint csak nagyon pozitiv szamomra, aki szereti az allatfotozast es allatleseket.



Brisbaneben nagy szerencsenk volt, mivel tarnsfercaron keresztul sikerult nagyon olcson kocsit szereznunk, radasul pont egy aggyal ellatott campervant, ugy erzem 120 dollar 5 napert igazan barati.:)



Szoval Slartibartfastot meglovagolva hamar nekilattunk a videknek, hogy megtapasztaljuk a kontinens adta szepsegeket.

Wohooo! I only have to catch up with "Raffly" 12 days. So let's talk about fun facts! :)





First of all, we have only a very short 14 days long stopover in this huge country/continent. We basically had three main goals Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne... and anything in between.




We haven't encountered any deadly snakes, only a few spiders and leeches, so I considered our trip safe so far.

So, our first destination was Brisbane. We met again with Milan and Virag. This time there was no surprise, also since they were working, we could catch up only a little bit. Brisbane is an exceptionally pleasant,, not crowded, yet a huge agglomeration. It has a positive vibe. Just a quick comparison: it has the same size in area as Bejing, but only living 2.4 million people. It is 15 times bigger than Auckland and 30 times bigger, than Budapest.





During out very quick one and a half day trip in the city, we explored a few museums, galleries, we swim in the artificial beach on the riverbank and had a nice walk on the superb family friendly city walkway. We hop on the free city ferry, the City Hopper, that took us to multiple locations of the city. The view on the city is quite nice and the night view is strictly spectacular, spiced with some awesomeness. Milan and Virag joined the night walk too and since they haven't been on the ferry either, they turned into foreigner tourists for a short while once again.








I have to confess, if it had not been so hot and had not been so many sharks in the ocean, I would move in this city. It was especially positive that huge lizards were spontaneously chilling in the parks. But generally speaking there are a lots of animals on this continent, that is again a huge plus for an animal watcher like me.



We were quite lucky, since we managed to rent a car through transfercar.com.au. In fact it was a big campervan with built in bed. This for 5 days for 120 dollars is honestly a supercheap deal.






So on the back... or on the wheels of Slartibartfast we rode on the countryside to experience the beauties that the country is offering us.
