Post-Race Press Conference
Oh man, I think I am in love with Australia already.
First of all, I didn't realize it was summer here! I mean I knew it was in my head, but I didn't appreciate what exactly that entailed. It is nice and warm (but not too hot, yet), everyone is dressed in summer clothes and looks tanned. But most importantly- there is sunlight until like 8pm. That is one thing that was driving me nuts being up north in Eruope- the fact that the sun started to set at 3:30pm. But last night that beautiful sun just did not go down.
I finally met up with the champion and we went down to the harbour to have our celebratory beers. Sat on a nice patio with a view of the Operahouse. I really couldn't get over the fact that I am actually here! Even just sitting there, I felt as though I was looking at a huge TV screen or something. Sydney is a beautiful city and it's going to be a lot of fun to explore it over the next few days. It's 7:10am here and my internal clock is a bit scrambled to say the least, so I am fully awake while sleeping beauty is resting at the hostel.
And just so that you are not longer in suspense- my bag did make it and I am wearing underwear that are a fresh as daisies!
Today we get pick up our home for the next 6 weeks- our camper (which will aquire a name soon). Here is a picture from the website we rented it from. Beautiful isn't she? Unfortunately for us they ran out of vans with air-conditioning, but we can just roll down the windows on this baby. Not the attractive rock screen that is included in the price as well. Talk about style AND fuctionality. (invented word? maybe) We have the camper for 42 days and it will be our transport, accomodation and soul mate for each and every one of those days.
